Amaç: Literatürde; ebeveynlerin, öğretmenlerin, diş hekimliği ve tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin dental travma ile ilgili farkındalıklarını değerlendiren çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Ancak, farklı üniversitelerdeki preklinik (birinci ve ikinci sınıf) öğrencilerinin bu konudaki farkındalıklarını değerlendiren kapsamlı bir çalışmaya henüz rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışma, dental travma konusunda teorik ve pratik eğitim almamış diş hekimliği fakültesi preklinik öğrencilerinin dental travma ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Türkiye’deki diş hekimliği fakültelerinin birinci ve ikinci sınıf öğrencilerine yönelik hazırlanan 15 soruluk anket formu, daha önceden kullanılmış olan anketler modifiye edilerek oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma için gerekli gözlem sayısının belirlenmesi amacıyla güç (power) analizi yapılmıştır. Anket sorularının cevapları yüzde olarak hesaplanmış ve verilerin analizinde ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlılık düzeyi α=0.05 olarak belirlenmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya, sekiz farklı diş hekimliği fakültesinden toplam 586 öğrenci katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin çoğunluğu (%90.4) dental travma konusunda yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığını belirtmiştir. Kendisini yeterli bulan öğrencilerin %55.4’ü ise diş hekimleri üzerinden bilgilendiklerini ifade etmiştir. Preklinik öğrencilerinin; %85.2’si travma sonrası avülse olan dişlerin steril serum fizyolojik ile yıkanıp tekrar yerine yerleştirilmesi gerektiğini, %38.6’sı ise avülse dişlerin soketine yerleştirilememesi durumunda steril serum fizyolojik içerisinde muhafaza edilerek diş hekimine götürülmesi gerektiğini belirtmiştir.
Sonuç: Anket sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, preklinik diş hekimliği öğrencileri genel itibariyle doğru yaklaşımlar sergilemiştir. Ancak, bazı sorular hakkında eksik ve yanlış bilgilere sahip oldukları saptanmıştır.
Aim: In the literature; There are studies evaluating the awareness of parents, teachers, dentistry and medical school students about dental trauma. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive study evaluating the awareness of preclinical (first and second year) students in different universities on this issue. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge level of dental trauma of preclinical students of the faculty of dentistry who have not received theoric and practical training on dental trauma.
Method: A 15-question survey prepared for first and second year students of dentistry faculties in Turkey was created by modifying the previously used survey. Power analysis was performed to determine the number of observations required for the study. The answers to the survey questions were calculated as percentages and the chi-square test was used in the analysis of the data. The significance level was determined as α=0.05.
Results: A total of 586 students from eight different faculties of dentistry participated in the study. Most of the students (90.4%) stated that they did not have enough knowledge about dental trauma. 55.4% of the students who found themselves sufficient steated that they were informed through dentists. Preclinical students; 85.2% stated that the teeth that were avulsed after trauma should be washed with sterile saline and repositioned, 38.6% stated that if the avulsed teeth could not be placed in the socket, they should be kept in sterile saline and taken to the dentist.
Conclusion: When the results of the survey were evaluted, the preclinical dentistry students showed correct approaches in general. However, it was determined that they had incomplete and incorrect information about some questions.
