Data were examined concerning dental students' confidence in removable prosthodontic treatment and their attitudes toward elderly persons before and after a ten-week clinical prosthodontic rotation. The Rosencranz and McNevin Aging Semantic Differential (SD) Scale was used to measure attitudes regarding the elderly; another SD was designed to measure confidence in removable prosthodontics. Both student's attitudes toward elderly persons and their confidence in carrying out removable prosthodontic treatment improved significantly after the rotation; the greatest improvement occurred when students treated patients of all ages. There was a significant relationship between confidence in performing removable prosthodontic treatment and clinical grades, but not didactic grades.
研究了牙科学生在为期十周的临床口腔修复科轮转前后，对可摘局部义齿修复治疗的信心以及他们对老年人的态度。使用罗森克兰茨和麦克内文老年语义差异量表来衡量对老年人的态度；另一个语义差异量表则用于衡量对可摘局部义齿修复的信心。轮转后，学生对老年人的态度和进行可摘局部义齿修复治疗的信心均有显著提高；当学生治疗所有年龄段的患者时，改善最为明显。进行可摘局部义齿修复治疗的信心与临床成绩之间存在显著关系，但与理论成绩无关。
