目的:探索知识,态度,非医学生关于阻生牙和与KAP相关因素的实践(KAP)。
方法:这项横断面研究在2022年12月至2023年2月期间在中国东北的两所大学(东北大学和沈阳音乐学院)招募了非医学生。分数>70%被定义为足够的知识,积极的态度,积极的实践。
结果:共有519名非医学生参加了这项研究。大多数参与者是男性(54.72%),≤20岁(72.83%),和新生(36.03%)。平均知识得分为4.98±3.46(可能范围:0-10),表示知识贫乏(49.80%)。多变量分析表明,患牙与足够的知识独立相关(OR=3.114,95%CI:1.589-6.103,P=0.001)。平均态度得分为24.65±3.78(可能范围:7-35),表明态度良好(70.43%)。知识(OR=1.182,95%CI:1.116-1.251,P<0.001),初中(OR=0.541,95%CI:0.327-0.895,P=0.017),高年级及以上(OR=0.477,95%CI:0.274-0.829,P=0.009),和阻生拔牙史(OR=2.386,95%CI:1.048-5.436,P=0.038)与良好态度独立相关。平均练习分数为21.45±5.64(可能范围:6-30),表明积极实践(71.50%)。知识(OR=1.074,95%CI:1.017-1.133,P=0.010)和女性(OR=1.501,95%CI:1.052-2.141,P=0.025)与主动实践独立相关。
结论:非医学生对阻生牙的认识较差,但态度良好,实践良好。非医学生需要额外的教育和意识到早期发现和管理阻生牙的重要性。
结论:该研究强调了非医学生对患牙的教育和认识的需要。
OBJECTIVE: To explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of non-medical students regarding
impacted teeth and the factors associated with KAP.
METHODS: This cross-sectional
study enrolled non-medical students at two universities (Northeastern University and Shenyang Conservatory of Music) in northeastern China between December 2022 and February 2023. Scores > 70% were defined as adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practice.
RESULTS: A total of 519 non-medical students participated in this
study. Most participants were male (54.72%), ≤ 20 years of age (72.83%), and freshmen (36.03%). The mean knowledge score was 4.98 ± 3.46 (possible range: 0-10), indicating poor knowledge (49.80%). The multivariable analysis showed that having impacted teeth were independently associated with adequate knowledge (OR = 3.114, 95% CI: 1.589-6.103, P = 0.001). The mean attitude score was 24.65 ± 3.78 (possible range: 7-35), indicating favorable attitudes (70.43%). The knowledge (OR = 1.182, 95% CI: 1.116-1.251, P < 0.001), junior grade (OR = 0.541, 95% CI: 0.327-0.895, P = 0.017), senior grade and above (OR = 0.477, 95% CI: 0.274-0.829, P = 0.009), and a history of impacted tooth extraction (OR = 2.386, 95% CI: 1.048-5.436, P = 0.038) were independently associated with the good attitudes. The mean practice score was 21.45 ± 5.64 (possible range: 6-30), indicating positive practice (71.50%). The knowledge (OR = 1.074, 95% CI: 1.017-1.133, P = 0.010) and female (OR = 1.501, 95% CI: 1.052-2.141, P = 0.025) were independently associated with the proactive practices.
CONCLUSIONS: Non-medical students had poor knowledge but favorable attitudes and good practice toward impacted teeth. Non-medical students require additional education and awareness about the importance of early detection and management of impacted teeth.
CONCLUSIONS: The
study highlights the need for improved education and awareness among non-medical students regarding
impacted teeth.
