Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Although oral cancer is known to be particularly aggressive and to have a poor prognosis, early detection is often connected with a better outlook. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to evaluate dental students\' and interns\' understanding of oral cancer prevention strategies and practices, as well as their motivations for engaging in such efforts.
UNASSIGNED: The dental interns and undergraduates in their last years of the dental school participated in a cross-sectional questionnaire study. All eligible participants (N = 300) were asked to fill out a 48-item questionnaire on oral cancer prevention and early detection. The questionnaire was broken down into four parts covering demographic information, knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes.
UNASSIGNED: The percentage of people who answered the survey was 65% (N = 300). Interns outperformed dentistry school freshmen by a substantial margin (P = 0.05) on tests of both knowledge and attitude. Some people avoid being screened for oral cancer because they feel they do not have the knowledge, skills, self-assurance, or time to do so effectively.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of those polled in this research seemed to lack the necessary knowledge and abilities in mouth cancer prevention and early detection, but they had high levels of desire and a positive outlook toward oral cancer preventive education.
摘要:
尽管已知口腔癌特别具有侵袭性并且预后不良,早期检测通常与更好的前景有关。因此,这项研究的目的是评估牙科学生和实习生对口腔癌预防策略和实践的理解,以及他们参与这种努力的动机。
牙科学校最后几年的牙科实习生和本科生参加了一项横断面问卷调查研究。所有符合条件的参与者(N=300)都被要求填写关于口腔癌预防和早期发现的48项问卷。问卷分为四个部分,涵盖人口统计信息,知识,行为,和态度。
回答调查的人的百分比为65%(N=300)。在知识和态度测试中,实习生的表现明显优于牙科学校新生(P=0.05)。有些人避免接受口腔癌筛查,因为他们觉得自己没有知识,技能,自我保证,或者有效地这样做的时间。
这项研究的大多数受访者似乎缺乏预防和早期发现口腔癌的必要知识和能力,但是他们对口腔癌预防教育有很高的渴望和积极的看法。
