Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türk diş hekimi öğrencilerinden belirli bir grubun ağız sağlığı davranış ve tutumlarını Hiroshima University-Dental Behavioural Inventory (HU-DBI) ile değerlendirmesini yapmaktır. Tanımlayıcı desende tasarlanan araştırmaya, Bingöl Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında okumaya devam eden 1., 2., ve 3. sınıf öğrencilerinden 110 öğrenci katıldı. Araştırmaya dahil edilme kriteri tüm soruların cevaplandırılmış olmasıydı. Araştırmada öğrencilerin ağız hijyeni ile ilgili alışkanlıklarının ve davranışlarının incelenmesi için 20 ifadeden oluşan HU-DBI kullanıldı. Analizlerde sayı, yüzde ve ki-kare testleri kullanıldı. Anlamlılık p<0.05 düzeyinde kabul edildi. Katılımcıların %63.6’sını kadınlar, %36.4’ünü erkekler oluşturmuştur. Katılımcı öğrencilerin %47.3’ü birinci sınıf, %30’u ikinci sınıf ve % 22.7’si üçüncü sınıftır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin HU-DBI skor ortalaması 5.96±1.64 olarak belirlendi. Sınıf düzeyinin diş ipi kullanımı ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin sigara içme durumu ile cinsiyetin ve sınıf düzeyinin istatistiksel olarak önemli olduğu saptandı. Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin ağız sağlığı hijyeni ile ilgili olumlu davranış ve düşüncelerinin orta düzeyde olduğu belirlendi.

Evalution of Oral and Dental Health Behavior and Attitudes of Bingöl University Dental Faculty Students

Abstract

The aim of this research is to evaluate the oral health behaviors and attitudes of a certain group of Turkish dental students with Hiroshima University-Dental Behavioural Inventory (HU-DBI). 110 students from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students attending the Faculty of Dentistry of Bingöl University in the 2021-2022 academic year participated in the research, which was designed in a descriptive design. The criterion for inclusion in the study was that all questions were answered. In the study, HU-DBI consisting of 20 statements was used to examine the oral hygiene habits and behaviors of the students. Number, percentage and chi-square tests were used in the analysis. Significance was accepted at the p<0.05 level. 63.6% of the participants were women and 36.4% were men. 47.3% of the participating students were first class, 30% were second year and 22.7% were third year. The mean HU-DBI score of the students participating in the study was determined as 5.96±1.64. It was determined that the grade level was statistically significant with the use of dental floss. In addition, it was determined that the smoking status, gender and class level of dentistry students were statistically significant. It was determined that the positive behaviors and thoughts of the dentistry students about oral health hygiene were at a moderate level.
