Abstract

Amaç: Epidemiyolojik çalışmalar, dünya genelinde Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) ilişkili oral kanser eğiliminin arttığını göstermiştir. Diş hekimliği öğrencileri hastalarına doğru tavsiyeler verebilmek için HPV ve aşısı ile ilgili kapsamlı güncel bilgilere ihtiyaç duyarlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Marmara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin HPV aşısı hakkındaki bilgi düzeyi ve farkındalıklarının değerlendirilmesidir.
Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Marmara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde eğitim gören 102 4.sınıf ve 124 5. Sınıf olmak üzere toplam 226 öğrenciye 7 sorudan oluşan anket uygulanmıştır. Bu ankette öğrencilerin bilgi düzeyi ve farkındalıkları incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmamıza katılan öğrencilerin yaşları 21 ile 28 arasında değişmekte olup, 75’i (%33.1) erkek, 151’i (%66.8) kadındır. 4.sınıf öğrencilerinin “Ağız sağlığı uzmanlarının, hastalarının genel medikal durumunda aktif bir rol oynaması önemlidir.” önermesine katılma oranları (%96.1), 5.sınıf öğrencilerinden (%97.6) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde düşüktür (p:0.010; p<0.05). Kadın öğrencilerin ise “Kendime HPV aşısı yaptırdım/ yaptırmayı düşünüyorum” önermesine katılma oranları (%47.7), erkeklerden (%29.3) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir (p:0.005; p<0.05).
Sonuç: Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin HPV'nin neden olduğu oral kansere karşı farkındalıklarını arttırmaya yönelik kapsamlı eğitim ve motivasyon, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin bilgi ve tutumlarını da artıracaktır.

Abstract

Objective: More recently, HPV infection has been portrayed as a vital risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Dentistry students need comprehensive information about HPV to provide accurate advice to their patients. The aim of this study is 4th and 5th grade students’ awareness about HPV vaccination.
Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 7 questions was applied to 226 students (102 4th grade and 126 5th grades), who were studying at Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry. In this survey, students’ knowledge level and awareness were examined.
Results: In our study 75 (33.1%) of the participants were male and 151 (66.8%) were female. The rates of agreement of 4th grade students (96.1%) with the proposition “It is important that oral health professionals play an active role in the general medical condition of their patients.” were statistically significantly lower than the 5th grade students (97.6%) (p: 0.010; p <0.05). A statistically significant difference between grades in terms of participation rates in the statement “I got my HPV vaccine / I am thinking of getting it”. The rate of participation of 5th grade (%38.7) students in this statement was significantly lower than 4th grades (%45.1) (p:0.019; p<0.05) and significantly higher in women (47.7%) than in men (29.3%) (p = 0.005; p <0.05).
Conclusion: Comprehensive training and motivation for improving dentistry students awareness against HPV vaccine will also improve knowledge and attitudes of the dental students on HPV induced oral cancer.
