The aim of this study is to evaluate a patient's perspective regarding professionalism practiced by dental students in a university hospital setup by survey questionnaire. A questionnaire was formulated and was distributed among patients who visited for their treatment to the outpatient department of the hospital in a university setting. The study group consisted of adult individuals who attended the outpatient Department of Prosthodontics from June 2020 to April 2021. Three hundred questionnaire forms were distributed and 152 were received back; Chi-square test and frequency analysis were the statistical tests used to explore the relationship between two variables. Institutional clearance was taken from the institute (certificate No.IHEC/SDC/PROSTHO/21/043). There is more prevalence of males 52.6% compared to females 47.4%. Age group 31-40 years comprises the maximum number of patients. 52.6% of patients had their monthly income between 10,000 and 30,000 rupees. 84.2% of patients answered name badge to be desirable, 57.9% told surgical scrubs to be desirable, and 47.4% of patients answered cologne to be desirable. 68.4% of patients were neutral to clogs, 84.2% of patients were neutral toward shoes. All the patients agreed that the behavior and communication skills showed a good competence level of the students. Overall, there was a difference but there was no significance among different variables. The patient considers the dentist's altruistic behavior and communication skills to be more crucial; these two factors are regarded as the foundation for a strong patient-dentist professional relationship. For effective patient-centered service, both the dentist and the patient must agree on these ideals. Medical/dental educators must make significant efforts to reflect the dynamic nature of professions in dental education.
本研究的目的是通过调查问卷评估患者对大学医院环境中牙科学生专业素养的看法。设计了一份问卷，并分发给在大学环境下医院门诊部就诊的患者。研究组由2020年6月至2021年4月到口腔修复科门诊部就诊的成年人组成。共发放300份问卷，回收152份；采用卡方检验和频率分析来探讨两个变量之间的关系。已获得该机构的许可（证书编号：IHEC/SDC/PROSTHO/21/043）。男性患病率为52.6%，高于女性的47.4%。年龄在31 - 40岁的患者人数最多。52.6%的患者月收入在10,000至30,000卢比之间。84.2%的患者认为佩戴姓名牌是可取的，57.9%的患者认为穿手术服是可取的，47.4%的患者认为使用古龙水是可取的。68.4%的患者对木屐持中立态度，84.2%的患者对鞋子持中立态度。所有患者都认为学生的行为和沟通技巧显示出良好的能力水平。总体而言，不同变量之间存在差异，但无统计学意义。患者认为牙医的利他行为和沟通技巧更为关键；这两个因素被视为建立牢固医患专业关系的基础。为了提供以患者为中心的有效服务，牙医和患者都必须认同这些理念。医学/牙科教育工作者必须做出重大努力，以反映牙科教育中专业的动态性质。
