Evaluation of Dental and Medical Students' Perceptions Toward the Dental Profession

Öz

Aim: To evaluate dental and medical students' perceptions toward the dental profession.
Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in Sivas Cumhuriyet
University Faculty of Dentistry and Faculty of Medicine. The data collection tools were General Data Form, which asked sociodemographic questions and reasons for choosing a profession, and the Dental
Profession Perceptions Scale (DPPS). The scale was developed by Buldur for the first time and is answered in a five-point Likert type and consists of three sub-dimensions (status, human and scientific
factors). The population of the research consists of 1991 students. Students were emailed the survey link through the student portal. The study included 352 students who agreed to participate in the study.
Results: 50.0 % (n=176) of the participants (N=352) were medical faculty students, while 50.0 % (n=176) were dental students. Dental students were substantially more interested than medical students
to choose a department based on working conditions (p<0.001). Due to career certainty, a desire to help others, and a willingness to participate in scientific research, medical students pick a profession at
a considerably higher rate than dental students (p<0,05). The level of satisfaction with the department was found to be higher in medical students than in dental students (p=0,004). In terms of DPPS status factor mean score, there was no difference between medical faculty (20,5±5,3) and dental students (20,9±4,8) (p=0,392). Total scale score (p=0.015), human factor (p<0.001), and scientific factor (p<0.001) mean scores in dental students were significantly higher than in medical students. The total and sub-dimension mean DPPS scores of preclinical students were considerably higher than those of clinical students (p<0.05). The total score and sub-dimension mean score of the DPPS scale of the students who were satisfied with the department were significantly higher than the students who were not satisfied (p<0.05).
Conclusions: When choosing a profession, it is important to consider the comfort of working conditions, career certainty, willingness to help people, and willingness to conduct scientific research. It has been
demonstrated that the scientific and human aspects of the dental profession are effective when choosing a profession.
