Identifying factors that influence the satisfaction of undergraduate dental students can contribute to establishing strategies for improving the educational process, furthering student development, and enhancing students' academic and professional achievements.
the present study investigated associations between undergraduate students' satisfaction with the dental course and their satisfaction with life, perception of professional career and sociodemographic factors.
this was a cross-sectional study on 512 dental students from a Brazilian School of Dentistry. Students were asked to respond to three questionnaires about sociodemographic characteristics, academic, and professional perceptions. Satisfaction with life was measured using the Brazilian version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, which comprises five statements with responses scored on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from "I strongly disagree" to "I strongly agree". Unadjusted and adjusted multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to test associations between satisfaction with the dental course and key variables.
most participants were female (73.2%), single (99.8%) and with mean age 21.77 (±2.71) years. Approximately three quarters had a family income over three times higher than the national monthly minimum wage. Higher satisfaction with the course was associated with more optimistic perception of the job market (OR=2.44; 95% CI: 1.36-4.40), better academic performance (OR=1.65; 95% CI: 1.00-2.74) and greater satisfaction with life (OR=1.10; 95% CI: 1.06-1.15). Students' sex and family income did not have significant impact on satisfaction with the dental course.
satisfaction with the dental course is related to an optimistic perception of the job market, academic performance and satisfaction with life.
确定影响本科牙科学生满意度的因素有助于制定改善教育过程、促进学生发展以及提高学生学业和专业成就的策略。
本研究调查了本科牙科学生对牙科课程的满意度与他们对生活的满意度、对职业的看法以及社会人口因素之间的关系。
这是一项对巴西牙科学院 512 名牙科学生的横断面研究。要求学生回答三个关于社会人口特征、学术和职业认知的问卷。生活满意度采用巴西版生活满意度量表进行衡量，该量表由五个陈述组成，每个陈述的回答都在一个 7 点李克特量表上进行评分，范围从“我强烈不同意”到“我强烈同意”。进行了未经调整和调整后的多因素逻辑回归分析，以检验牙科课程满意度与关键变量之间的关联。
大多数参与者为女性（73.2%）、单身（99.8%），平均年龄为 21.77（±2.71）岁。大约四分之三的学生家庭收入超过国家月最低工资标准的三倍。对课程更满意与对就业市场更乐观的看法（OR=2.44；95%CI：1.36-4.40）、更好的学业成绩（OR=1.65；95%CI：1.00-2.74）和更高的生活满意度（OR=1.10；95%CI：1.06-1.15）相关。学生的性别和家庭收入对牙科课程的满意度没有显著影响。
对牙科课程的满意度与对就业市场的乐观看法、学业成绩和生活满意度有关。
