To investigate the confidence level of final year dental students in Riyadh.
Cross-sectional study was conducted at four dental colleges in Riyadh (N = 312, 220 and 70,5% responded). Oneway ANOVA and post hoc Tukey-Kramer was used.
The greatest self-reported confidence scores were for pit fissure sealent (4.6(0.7)). Whereas, students reported least confidence in conducting surgical extractions (2.7 (1.2)). Females were found more confident in conducting preventive resin restorations, oral hygiene instructions, and rubber dam placement as compared to male who were more confident in surgical extraction, copy dentures, veneer preparation and managing orthodontic emergencies.
All students were confident in performing essential dental procedures however higher confidence was observed in performing simple procedures compared to more complex ones.
调查利雅得牙科专业最后一年学生的信心水平。
在利雅得的四所牙科学院进行了横断面研究(N = 312,220人回应,回应率为70.5%)。使用了单因素方差分析和事后Tukey-Kramer检验。
自我报告的信心得分最高的是窝沟封闭(4.6(0.7))。而学生们对进行外科拔牙的信心最低(2.7(1.2))。与男性相比,女性在进行预防性树脂修复、口腔卫生指导和橡皮障放置方面更有信心,而男性在外科拔牙、复制假牙、贴面制备和处理正畸急症方面更有信心。
所有学生在进行基本的牙科操作时都有信心,然而,与更复杂的操作相比,在进行简单操作时观察到更高的信心。
