Tandhygieniststuderande i Skåne -Varför väljs tandhygienistyrket och vilken längd på tandhygienistutbildning söks?Olsson, Ulrika January 2010 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för varför tandhygienistyrket väljs och varför den två- eller treåriga utbildningen till tandhygienist söks?Uppsatsen ger en översikt hur tankegångarna tidigare har varit inför tandhygienist-utbildningens längd. Hösten 2010 ska den behörighetsutredning som regeringen tillsatt redovisa vad de kommit fram till om tandhygienistutbildningens längd. För att få svar på uppsatsens syfte har en enkät utlämnats till förstaårsstudenter på tandhygienistutbildningen i Kristianstad och Malmö. Resultaten från enkätundersökningen visar att endast hälften av tandhygieniststudenterna har utbildningen som sitt förstahandsval. Tandhygienistyrket väljs främst för att studenterna vill arbeta med människor men även för att de vill arbeta praktiskt och för att yrket har goda framtidsutsikter.Hälften av Malmöstudenterna valde Malmö just för att utbildningen där är tvåårig medan en tredjedel av Kristianstadstudenterna valde utbildningen för att den var treårig och de på så vis skulle få en bättre utbildning. / The purpose of this essay is to explain why the dental hygiene profession is chosen by dental hygiene students and why the two- or three-year program in dental hygiene is chosen. This essay provides an overview of previous ideas regarding the length of the dental hygiene education. A survey was made on first-year dental hygiene students at two universities in southern Sweden to find the answers to the purpose of this essay.The results from the survey shows that only half of the dental hygienist students put their education as the top choice when applying to university. The dental hygiene profession is chosen primarily because of the desire to work with people but also because they want to work with their hands and that the profession has good prospects.Half of the Malmo students chose Malmo just because the education is two years there while a third of the Kristianstad students chose the education there because it was three years and that they would have a better education therefore.

Mid-level Dental Care Provider: Awareness and Attitudes of Ohio’s Dental HygienistsLeverich, Cynthia S 01 December 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the awareness and attitudes of dental hygienists in Ohio regarding the Advanced Dental Hygiene Practitioner (ADHP) as an occupation proposed by the American Dental Hygienists’ Association and to determine whether the ADHP could be a viable career option for Ohio dental hygienists.
I developed a survey to assess dental hygienists’ awareness, attitudes, and their views regarding the new mid-level dental provider. The study was limited to licensed dental hygienists in Ohio. The study included a simple random sample of 400 of the 4100 dental hygienists in Ohio obtained by a systematic approach, a random start and selection of subjects at a constant interval. The method of data collection was electronic surveys. Fifty-four dental hygienists (13% of the sample) participated in the study.
The results show that most of those responding were aware of the ADHP. Also, their attitude regarding the new mid-level dental provider was positive. Attitudes varied more when the respondents provided data on the adoption of legislation for the new provider. There was no consensus among respondents regarding the ADHP as a viable career option. More robust research is needed on the viability of the ADHP in Ohio.

Patienters rökvanor, deras motivation till rökavvänjning samt om de har blivit tillfrågade om sina rökvanor av tandvårdspersonal / Patients' smoking habits, their motivation to stop smoking and if they were asked about their smoking habits by the dental staffPrekadini, Njomze, Beciri Haziri, Lindita January 2010 (has links)
The aim of the present study was to examine smoking behaviour and motivation for smoking cessation in patients at a dental clinic. Another aim was to examine if the patients had been asked by the dental staff regarding their smoking habits. Twenty-two patients from a student clinic and twenty-one patients from a Swedish Public Dental Service Clinic in southern of Sweden participated in the study. Participants consisted of eighteen women and twenty-five men. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire that was directed at smokers. The questionnaire was answered in connection with the visit to the dental hygienist. The patients smoked between eight and twelve cigarettes per day and had on average smoked between 5 -15 years. More than half of the patients started smoking because of pressure from friends. In the future the patients would consider quitting smoking to avoid oral health diseases. Most of the patients wanted to try without external aid. The general health and oral health was perceived as good, or very good by 43 respondents. The most common oral health problems were dry mouth, dark brown coating on the teeth and gingivitis. This survey shows that many of those who currently smoke started smoking because of their surroundings. Giving up smoking to avoid oral health diseases was very important / important to the respondents. The motivation for smoking cessation was different among the patients. It was difficult for many patients to stop smoking. The survey also showed that more dental hygienists than dentists asked their patients about smoking habits and informing them about smoking cessation. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka rökvanor och motivation till rökavvänjning hos patienter vid tandvårdsklinik. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka om patienterna blivit tillfrågade av tandvårdspersonalen om sina rökvanor. Tjugutvå patienter från en studentklinik och tjuguen patienter från en folktandvårdsklinik i södra Sverige deltog i studien. Deltagarna bestod av 58 % män och 42 % kvinnor. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med användning av en enkät som var riktad till rökare. Enkäten besvarades i samband med ett tandhygienistbesök. Patienterna uppgav att de rökte mellan åtta och tolv cigaretter per dag och hade rökt mellan 5-15 år. Mer än hälften av patienterna började röka på grund av grupptryck eller kompisar. Patienterna kunde tänka sig att sluta röka i framtiden, för att undvika munhälsoskador och dem flesta av rökarna vill försöka sluta röka utan hjälp. Den allmänna hälsan respektive munhälsan upplevdes som bra eller mycket bra av samtliga 43 respondenter. De vanligaste problemen med munhälsan var muntorrhet, svarta bruna beläggningar på tänderna samt gingivit. Denna enkätstudie visar att många av dem som rökte började röka på grund av att personer i deras omgivning rökte. Att sluta röka för att undvika munhälsoskador var mycket viktigt/viktigt för patienterna. Motivationen till rökstopp varierade bland patienterna. Det var svårt för många av de att hålla sig rökfria. Studien visar även att det var fler tandhygienister än tandläkare som frågade patienterna om deras rökvanor och informerade om rökavvänjning.

Tandläkarstudenters kunskap gällande tandhygienistens kompetens : - En enkätstudie / Dental students knowledge about dental hygienists competence : - A questionnaire studyKartal, Petra, Mavi, Miray January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: Tandhygienistprofessionen har en betydande roll i svenska tandvården och arbetar främst förebyggande och hälsofrämjande. Tandläkarens och tandhygienistens arbetsområden kompletterar varandra, vilket gör att samarbetet är av stor vikt för en patientsäker vård. Syftet: Att studera vilken kunskap tandläkarstudenter i termin tio har avseende tandhygienistens kompetens. Metod: Studien var en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med enkät som mätinstrument. Urvalet bestod av tandläkarstudenter (termin 10) från Malmö- och Göteborgs universitet som erbjuder två- respektive treårig tandhygienistutbildning. Materialet bearbetades i SPSS. Variablerna analyserades genom deskriptiv statistik samt utfördes jämförelser mellan lärosätena genom Chi2-tester. Resultatet baserades på 51 deltagare från Malmö och 26 från Göteborg. Statistisk signifikanta skillnader fanns avseende frågorna om att diagnostisera pericoronit, arbeta med beteendeförändringar, avlägsna suturer, arbeta med bettfysiologiska patienter, utföra avtryckstagning och inneha röntgenutrustning. Totalt var det 39 deltagare i Malmö och 18 i Göteborg som ansåg att de inte har tillräcklig kunskap om tandhygienisters kompetensområden. Samband mellan studenternas kunskap och tandhygienisternas utbildningslängd på respektive lärosäte kan dock inte påvisas. Slutsats: Det finns kunskap hos tandläkarstudenterna om tandhygienistens kompetens, men med viss variation. Skillnader i kunskap om tandhygienisters kompetens finns mellan lärosätena. Majoriteten av deltagarna ansåg att tandläkarutbildningen inte gett tillräcklig kunskap om tandhygienistens kompetensområden. / Background: Dental hygienist profession plays a significant role in Swedish dentistry and works primarily with prevention/health promotion. Dentists and dental hygienist's professions complete each other, which makes co-operation necessary to obtain a safe care for the patient. The aim was to study dental students (semester 10) knowledge regarding dental hygienists competence. Method: A cross-sectional study with questionnaire as measuring instrument was performed. The sample consisted of dentistry students from Malmo- and Gothenburg’s University, with two respective three years of dental hygienist education. Variables were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Comparisons between institutions, through Chi2-test were performed in SPSS. The result was based on 51 (Malmo) respective 26 (Gothenburg) participants. Statistically significant differences occurred regarding questions of diagnosing pericoronitis, behavioral changes, removing sutures, working with temporomandibular disorders, bite-impressions and responsibility of radiographic equipment. Malmo had 39 participants and Gothenburg 18 that reported they had not received enough knowledge. The relationship between the students knowledge and dental hygienists’ length of education cannot be established. Conclusion: There is a knowledge about dental hygienist’s competence, but with some variation. Differences in knowledge exists between the institutions. The majority of participants felt that the education did not give them sufficient knowledge about the dental hygienist's competence.

Förebyggande tandvård för att främja oral hälsa hos äldre : - En registerstudie bland individer 65 till 70 år i Värmland / Preventive dental care to promote oral health in elderly : - A register-based study among individuals 65 to 70 year, in the Region of VärmlandSeleskog, Birgitta January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund: Kariessjukdomen hör till en av världens vanligaste sjukdomar med flertalet kända orsaks- och riskfaktorer. För att bevara en god oral hälsa utgör förebyggande tandvård en betydelsefull del bland äldre och kan ha en stor inverkan på en individs livskvalitet. Karies kan förebyggas och behandlas med stöd av patientutbildning och förebyggande tandvård, en hälsoinsats som främjar framförallt individen men även samhället med minskade resurs- och vårdkostnader. Syfte: Övergripande syftet med studien var att kartlägga förekomst och fördelning av registrerade förebyggande åtgärder i relation till karies bland individer 65 till 70 år, bofasta i Värmland 2017. Metod: Studiens design var en tvärsnittsstudie av individdata (n=2738) från 65- till 70-åriga individer bosatta i Värmland och undersökta i tandvården, Region Värmland 2017. Data baseras på Svenskt Kvalitetsregister för Karies och Parodontit (SKaPa) åren 2017 och 2018. Resultat: Närmare trefjärdedelar av individerna hade ingen tillståndskod för karies registrerad (72,1%). Det var ungefär dubbelt så vanligt med tillståndskoder för sekundärkaries jämfört med primärkaries, 684 respektive 291 registreringar. Totalt registrerades 742 sjukdomsförebyggande åtgärder (200-serien) och 3495 sjukdomsbehandlande åtgärder (300-serie). ”Icke-operativ behandling” var den åtgärd som starkast associerades till individer med kariestillstånd (OR 3,83; CI 3,04–4,83). ”Information vid risk för sjukdom” var starkast associerad till individer utan kariestillstånd. Antalet erhållna förebyggande åtgärder var snedfördelad och kunde variera från en upp till nio behandlingar per individ. Konklusion: Resultatet i denna studie talar för betydelsen av ytterligare studier inom förebyggande tandvård som hälsofrämjande insats för att främja oral hälsa bland äldre individer med kariessjukdom. Beteendemedicinsk prevention är en underutnyttjad åtgärd som behöver övervägas inom den förebyggande tandvården. / Introduction: Dental caries is one of the most common diseases worldwide with well-known risk factors. In order to maintain a good oral health, preventive dental care is an important part for elderly people and impacts on an individual´s quality of life. Dental caries can be prevented and treated with patient support, education and preventive dental care. Health promotion activities within dental care contributes to the individual’s well-being and reduces costs for the society. Aim: The overall aim was to identify the occurrence and distribution of registered preventive dental care in relation to caries, among individuals aged 65 to 70 years resident in the county of Värmland in 2017. Method: A cross-sectional register-based study of individual data (n= 2738) from 65 to 70-year-old individuals resident and dental examined, in the county of Värmland in 2017. Data was obtained from The Swedish Quality Registry for Caries and Periodontal Diseases (SKaPa) from years 2017 and 2018. Results: Nearly three-quarters of the individuals had no caries conditions registered (72,1%). Secondary caries-conditions were about twice as common compared to primary caries, 684 and 291 registrations, respectively. A total of 742 preventive-treatments and 3495 preventive disease-treatments were registered. “Non-invasive treatment” had the strongest association to individuals with caries conditions (OR 3,83; CI 3,04-4,83). The treatment “information when risk for disease” had the strongest association to individuals without caries conditions. The number of obtained preventive treatments were skewed and could vary from one up to nine treatments per individual. Conclusion; The results of this study indicate the importance of further studies of preventive dental care as a health promotion achievement to promote oral health among older individuals with dental caries disease. Behavioral medical prevention is underused and needs to be considered in preventive dental care in the future.

Previous issue date: 2010 / Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venâncio. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Profissional em Saúde. / Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar em que medida a formação oferecida pelo curso Técnico em Higiene Dental da Escola de Formação Técnica em Saúde “Enf Izabel dos Santos” (ETIS) contribui para a prática do cuidado, superando o significado de procedimento técnico, buscando identificar se os profissionais egressos valorizam também as diversas dimensões da atenção em saúde, reafirmando o compromisso com os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Para tanto, inicialmente apresenta uma discussão sobre as diferentes dimensões do cuidado. A seguir, uma revisão de conceitos da educação, com apresentação dos fundamentos da proposta pedagógica da ETIS. Por fim, a apresentação da análise dos dados obtidos por meio do trabalho de campo. Este estudo se deu sob uma abordagem qualitativa, tomando como sujeitos da pesquisa egressos do curso para formação de Técnico em Higiene Dental realizado em Nova Iguaçu, no período entre agosto de 2006 a junho de 2007. Como técnicas de pesquisa a autora adota a realização de grupo focal e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com egressos do curso, e ainda entrevistas com cirurgiões-dentistas, seus supervisores, além da revisão bibliográfica de concepções de educação/educação profissional e cuidado em saúde para construir o referencial teórico. O tratamento do material obtido no trabalho de campo foi orientado pela Análise de Conteúdo, sob a modalidade Análise Temática. A pesquisa apontou que a ETIS contribui para a prática do cuidado numa dimensão individual, ficando os aspectos políticos e sociais do cuidar incompletos, o que sugere ser apropriado trabalhar mais intensamente no curso pesquisado as diversas dimensões da integralidade. / This study aims at investigating to which extent the professional training offered by the Technical Course in Dental Hygiene at the “Enfª Izabel dos Santos” School of Technical Training in Health (ETIS) contributes to the practice of dental care beyond the meaning of technical procedures and verifies if its former students also value the several dimensions of attention in dental health care in accordance to the principles established by the Publich Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS). This study initially discusses the different dimensions of health care, followed by a review of educational concepts with the presentation of the pedagogical fundaments proposed by ETIS. Lastly, this study presents the analysis of the data obtained through fieldwork. This study has a qualitative approach whose subject are students who graduated in Technical Training in Dental Hygiene in Nova Iguaçu from August 2006 and June 2007. The author of this study uses the “focus group” technique with semi-structured interviews with former students, as well as interviews with dentists, who are their supervisors, together with a bibliographic review on educational concepts, professional education and health care in order to build up theoretical reference. The data analysis was performed through Content Analysis in Theme Analysis. This study indicates that while ETIS contributes to the practice of care in an individual dimension, it seems to overlook some important political and social aspects, which suggests that more intense integrating work needs to be done in the social dimension in the training course offered by ETIS.

The influence of diversity and the educational climate in shaping clinical competence of oral health studentsBrijlal, Priscilla January 2013 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / High attrition, low retention and low throughput are major problems facing South African higher education institutions. These problems have been attributed to student under-preparedness as a result of the legacy of apartheid education provision and associated limited academic opportunities available to working-class learners. South African studies indicate that black and working-class students are less likely to perform well than their middle-class peers. In the health sciences poor academic achievement is frequently associated with poor clinical competence.
Diminished clinical competence has the potential to compromise patient treatment success. This study, therefore, set out to examine the influence of diversity, with particular reference to race and social class, and the educational climate in shaping the clinical competence of students in an oral health program at a Faculty of Dentistry in South Africa. The purpose of the study was to understand the relationship between diversity, educational climate, and clinical competence so as
to better support the learning of all students in the oral health program.
Two concepts informed the theoretical parameters of the study – diversity and educational climate. In addressing diversity, Bourdieu’s construct of economic and cultural capital provided the conceptual tools for examining the extent to which students’ race and social class locations shaped their readiness for higher education and hence influenced their experiences and performance in the program. In terms of the educational climate, Tinto’s constructs of social and academic integration, provided the lens for explicating students’ persistence in the program,
taking into account their social and academic experiences. Set in a qualitative paradigm, a case study design was used, based on its characteristic principles
of bounded place, context, time and activity. The cohort was the first-year class of 2007 in the oral health program. The students of the cohort were tracked longitudinally from 2007 to 2010. Data was gathered from a range of quantitative and qualitative sources, such as, analysis of faculty documents, observations, mark schedules, student reflective writing, focus group and individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. This process involved drawing on the literature related to diversity and educational climate to identify emergent patterns and themes from the data, and then interpreting their meaning through the lenses of capital and social and academic integration. This study illuminated many ways in which student performance was affected by diversity, with particular reference to race and social class locations and associated access to economic and
cultural capital. Differences between middle-class and working-class students were noted in their performance, their preparation for university and its academic demands as well as in how these two groups of students interacted in the classroom. Significant differences were also noted in their transition and integration experiences at a social, professional and academic level. In addition, the study explicated ways in which the faculty, through its culture, structure, and pedagogy, appeared to contribute to an educational climate which either supported or deterred
student integration, both in social and academic ways. Cumulatively the challenges experienced by working-class students in particular appeared to have had real effects. The most significant effects were on their morale, their intent to engage and integrate and their consequent learning, academic performance and clinical competence. This study did not intend to solve but rather to understand the issue of differential performance. The findings of the study are envisioned to inform faculty and institutional strategies toward increasing effectiveness and responsiveness to differing student needs.

Tobacco Cessation Counseling Practices amongst Dental Hygienists in Central TexasMurray, Lacy 01 August 2021 (has links)
Although tobacco cessation is an uphill battle for almost everyone who attempts to quit, it is important that dental hygienists do not assume that patients are not interested. Dental hygienists are in an ideal position to offer cessation help to their tobacco using patients. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the tobacco cessation practices among central Texas dental hygienists. Specifically, dental hygienists were asked about beliefs, motivation, and confidence with regard to their tobacco cessation practice. A positive significant, moderate, relationship was found between beliefs and confidence (r=0.647), beliefs and practices (r=0.704), knowledge and capability (r=0.579), motivation and capability (r=0.529), motivation and practice (r=0.605), and years of practice and capability (r=0.699). The mean confidence scores for hygienists with more than 20 years of experience differed from those with 1-5 years of experience (p=.003) and 6-10 years of experience (p=.025).
