Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Objektif Yapılandırılmış Klinik Sınav (OSCE)-Objektif Yapılandırılmış Pratik Sınav (OSPE) ve fantom laboratuvarında simüle kafa modellerinde kök kanal tedavisi eğitimi alan öğrencilerin, endodonti kliniğindeki hastalara teşhis ve tedavi yaklaşımlarının değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya, xxxxx Diş Hekimliği Fakültesinde öğrenim gören, OSCE-OSPE ve fantom laboratuvarında eğitim almış olan 100 diş hekimliği öğrencisi dahil edildi. 14 soruluk teşhis ve tedavi konusu kapsamında hazırlanan 2 soru grubu içeren anket çalışmamızda klinik öncesi eğitimin, endodonti kliniğinde hastaya teşhis koyabilme ve tedavi edebilme üzerine olan etkileri değerlendirildi. Veri analizi için Tek Örneklemli Ki-Kare testi kullanıldı (p<0,05).
Bulgular: Öğrencilerin tanıya ilişkin yanıtları değerlendirildiğinde, öğrencilerin %96'sı ağız içi muayenenin tanıya yeterli katkı sağladığını belirtti. Öğrencilerin tedaviye ilişkin yanıtları değerlendirildiğinde ise öğrencilerin %64'ü yeterli görüş alanı elde etmekte zorluk çektiğini bildirdi.
Sonuç: OSPE-OSCE ve fantom laboratuvarlarının daha verimli hale getirilebilmesi için öğrencilerin dersler hakkındaki görüşleri değerlendirilerek bu doğrultuda gerekli güncellemeler ve yeni çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.

Self-Assessment of OSCE-OSPE and Phantom Laboratory Students' Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches in Endodontics Clinic: A Survey Study

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and treatment approaches of students who received endodontic practical training in the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)-Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) and phantom laboratory in the endodontics clinic.
Materials and Methods: The study included 100 dental students from xxx Faculty of Dentistry who had received training in OSCE-OSPE and the phantom laboratory. In our survey study, which included two groups of questions covering 14 questions on diagnosis and treatment, the effects of preclinical education on the ability to diagnose and treat patients in endodontic clinical practice were evaluated. The One-Sample Chi-Square test was used for data analysis (p<0.05).
Results: When evaluating students' responses regarding diagnosis, 96% of the students stated that intraoral examination provided sufficient contribution to diagnosis. When evaluating students' responses regarding treatment, 64% of the students had difficulty in obtaining a sufficient field of view.
Conclusions: In order to make OSPE-OSCE and phantom laboratories more efficient, students' opinions about the courses should be evaluated, and updates should be made accordingly.
