■评估临床牙科学生关于普遍的老年口腔疾病的知识对于评估他们的临床能力至关重要。这项研究的重点是分析牙科学生对老年患者口干炎(AC)和口干症的知识。
■在这项分析性横截面调查中,来自Airlangga大学的临床牙科学生参与其中。我们采用简单随机抽样来选择至少76名学生并收集数据,包括有关AC和口干症的人口统计信息和知识,通过在线问卷调查。然后根据他们的知识水平将受访者分为三组:穷人,中度,很好。我们利用系数偶然性和比值比分析来探索人口因素与知识水平之间的关系和影响。
■研究结果表明,大多数受访者对AC表现出很高的理解水平(58.4%)。相反,相当比例的受访者对口干症的知识有限(66.3%).此外,我们的相关性分析,旨在确定知识水平与性别等内在因素之间的潜在关联,临床兴趣,靠近老年人,没有发现任何统计学上显著的关系(P>0.05)。
■在临床牙科学生的人群中,在老年人口统计学中,关于AC的知识水平值得称赞。然而,相当一部分学生对口干症缺乏足够的理解。
UNASSIGNED: Assessing the knowledge of clinical dental students regarding prevalent geriatric oral diseases is crucial in evaluating their clinical competency. This study focuses on analyzing dental students\' knowledge of angular cheilitis (AC) and xerostomia in elderly patients.
UNASSIGNED: In this analytical cross-sectional investigation, clinical dental students from Universitas Airlangga were involved. We employed simple random sampling to select a minimum of 76 students and gathered data, including demographic information and knowledge about AC and xerostomia, through an online questionnaire. Respondents were then categorized into three groups based on their knowledge level: poor, moderate, and good. We utilized coefficient contingency and odds ratio analysis to explore relationships and effects between demographic factors and knowledge levels.
UNASSIGNED: The study findings indicated that a significant majority of respondents demonstrated a high level of comprehension regarding AC (58.4%). Conversely, a notable proportion of respondents exhibited limited knowledge regarding xerostomia (66.3%). Furthermore, our correlation analysis, which aimed to identify potential associations between knowledge levels and intrinsic factors such as gender, clinical interest, and proximity to geriatric individuals, did not reveal any statistically significant relationships (P > 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Within the population of clinical dental students, there is a commendable level of knowledge concerning AC in the geriatric demographic. However, a substantial segment of students lacks adequate understanding when it comes to xerostomia.
