Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public and patient safety issue. With the high AMR risk, ensuring that the next generation of dentists that have optimal knowledge and confidence in the area of AMR is crucial. A systematic approach is vital to design an AMR content that is comprehensive and clinically relevant. The primary objective of this research study will be to implement a consensus-based approach to elucidate AMR content and curriculum priorities for professional dentistry programmes. This research aims to establish consensus along with eliciting opinion on appropriate AMR topics to be covered in the Bachelor of Dental Surgery syllabus.
A three-phase approach to validate content for curriculum guidelines on AMR will be adopted. First, literature review and content analysis were conducted to find out the available pertinent literature in dentistry programmes. A total of 23 potential literature have been chosen for inclusion within this study following literature review and analysis in phase 1. The materials found will be used to draft curriculum on antimicrobials for dentistry programmes. The next phase involves the validation of the drafted curriculum content by recruiting local and foreign experts via a survey questionnaire. Finally, Delphi technique will be conducted to obtain consensus on the important or controversial modifications to the revised curriculum.
An ethics application is currently under review with the Institute of Health Science Research Ethics Committee, Universiti Brunei Darussalam. All participants are required to provide a written consent form. Findings will be used to identify significant knowledge gaps on AMR aspect in a way that results in lasting change in clinical practice. Moreover, AMR content priorities related to dentistry clinical practice will be determined in order to develop need-based educational resource on microbes, hygiene and prudent antimicrobial use for dentistry programmes.
抗菌药物耐药性（AMR）是一个全球性的公共卫生和患者安全问题。鉴于存在高 AMR 风险，确保下一代牙医具备 AMR 领域的最佳知识和信心至关重要。系统的方法对于设计全面且与临床相关的 AMR 内容至关重要。本研究的主要目的将是采用基于共识的方法来阐明专业牙科课程中的 AMR 内容和课程优先事项。本研究旨在就涵盖在牙科外科学位课程中的适当 AMR 主题达成共识并征求意见。
将采用三阶段方法来验证 AMR 课程指南的内容。首先，进行文献回顾和内容分析，以查找牙科课程中可用的相关文献。在第 1 阶段的文献回顾和分析后，共选择了 23 篇潜在文献纳入本研究。发现的材料将用于起草牙科抗菌药物课程。下一阶段涉及通过问卷调查招募本地和外国专家来验证起草课程内容的有效性。最后，将采用德尔菲技术就修订课程的重要或有争议的修改达成共识。
目前正在向文莱达鲁萨兰国大学健康科学研究伦理委员会申请伦理许可。所有参与者都需要提供书面同意书。研究结果将用于确定 AMR 方面的重要知识差距，从而在临床实践中实现持久的变化。此外，将确定与牙科临床实践相关的 AMR 内容重点，以便为牙科课程开发基于需求的微生物、卫生和谨慎使用抗菌药物的教育资源。
