To ascertain the current nurse training establishments' (NTEs') commitment to the teaching of oral care, and its coverage in nursing literature.
Cross-sectional.
All NTEs in the UK for 1996/97
Self-completion questionnaire sent to all 162 Directors of Education of NTEs in the UK.
A subjective assessment of the adequacy of the coverage of oral care in syllabi offered as part of nursing training; a subjective assessment of the relevance of literature recommended for student reading.
72% (117) responded. 27% (32) were post-registration NTEs not teaching oral care. The remaining 85 completed questionnaires were analysed. 79% (67) of these had no dental input; 75% (64) would welcome some. 28% (24) taught the use of an oral care assessment form; 38% (32) discussed dental plaque. 38% (32) had no exclusive lectures on oral care. Of 31 textbooks, only 1 had comprehensive coverage of the subject. The majority scored less than 25% on the assessment system.
Many NTEs have oral care syllabus deficiencies. Students are recommended books which have insufficient information to provide an insight into oral care or dental disease. There would appear to be an urgent requirement for the nursing and dental professions to liaise in order to remedy this situation.
确定当前护士培训机构对口腔护理教学的重视程度及其在护理文献中的涵盖情况。
横断面研究。
1996/97年度英国所有护士培训机构。
向英国162所护士培训机构的所有教育主任发送自填式问卷。
对作为护理培训一部分所提供课程大纲中口腔护理覆盖范围充分性的主观评估；对推荐给学生阅读的文献相关性的主观评估。
72%（117所）做出回应。27%（32所）是不教授口腔护理的注册后护士培训机构。其余85份完整问卷进行了分析。其中79%（67所）没有牙科方面的投入；75%（64所）希望有一些。28%（24所）教授口腔护理评估表的使用；38%（32所）讨论牙菌斑。38%（32所）没有关于口腔护理的专门讲座。在31本教科书中，只有1本对该主题有全面涵盖。在评估体系中，大多数得分低于25%。
许多护士培训机构在口腔护理课程大纲方面存在不足。推荐给学生的书籍所提供的信息不足以深入了解口腔护理或牙科疾病。护理和牙科专业之间似乎迫切需要进行联络以改善这种情况。
