By means of a questionnaire, 4 cohorts of undergraduate students (n = 144) were asked before and after the clinical course in paediatric dentistry about their acceptance of the teaching of psychological aspects in dentistry. A generally very high interest was found for psychology as well as for child-related psychology. The teaching of this topic by means of lectures was thought to be useful, but other didactic means were demanded to supplement teaching. For many of the aspects taught, more information was requested. Moreover, teaching of aspects not taught in the lectures was also requested. The more obvious the practical relevance of each topic appeared, the greater was the students' interest. Psychology was thought to be useful as an aid to paediatric treatment. However, interest dropped after the completion of the paediatric dentistry course. It is concluded that undergraduate dental students have no particular inclination towards the treatment of children but rather a need for guidelines to avoid potential problems in dealing with this demanding group of patients.
通过问卷调查，在儿童牙科临床课程前后，对4组本科生（n = 144）进行了询问，了解他们对牙科中心理学方面教学的接受程度。结果发现，学生们对心理学以及儿童相关心理学普遍表现出非常浓厚的兴趣。通过讲座进行该主题的教学被认为是有用的，但也需要其他教学方法来补充教学。对于所教授的许多方面，学生们要求提供更多信息。此外，他们还要求教授讲座中未涉及的方面。每个主题的实际相关性越明显，学生们的兴趣就越大。心理学被认为有助于儿童治疗。然而，在儿童牙科课程结束后，兴趣有所下降。结论是，牙科本科生对治疗儿童并没有特别的倾向，而是需要指导方针，以避免在处理这群要求较高的患者时出现潜在问题。
