Abstract

Aim: The aims of study are evaluation of information levels of dentistry students related with Covid-19 infection, making awareness about infection and protection ways and making them more careful and conscious during working. Material and Method: This study is applied to 782 students of dentistry. An online survey was used to evaluate for knowledge level of dentistry students about Covid-19 pandemic. There were questions evaluating information levels related with sociodemographic informations and Covid-19 infections in this study. Results: For evaluations of dentistry students information levels about Covid-19 pandemic, 782 students (female:470, male:312) aged between 17-37 from 32 different faculties were included in the study. Information sources about Covid-19 pandemic of students were not independents depending on gender and class level. According to pathway of transmission of Covid-19, there was a significant difference between women and men only in parental way which were more common in women (χ²=7.08; p0.05). Conclusions: This study targetted increasing awareness of students about infection risk during dental procedures and it targetted on preventions which must be taken for protection from Covid-19 infection. We think that true and rational informations must be given to students by education about Covid-19 disease.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin Covid-19 enfeksiyonu ile ilgili bilgilerini tespit etmek, bulaş ve korunma yolları açısından farkındalık oluşturarak hasta bakacakları dönemlerde daha dikkatli ve bilinçli olmalarına katkı sağlamaktır. Materyal ve Metod: Bu anket çalışması 782 kişiye uygulanmıştır. Dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin Covid-19 pandemisi ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerini değerlendirmek için online olarak anket yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin sosyodemografik bilgileri ve Covid-19 enfeksiyonu hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini ölçmeyi amaçlayan sorular bulunmaktadır. Bulgular: Diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencilerinin Covid-19 pandemisiyle ilgili bilgilerini değerlendirmek üzere yaşları 17-37 arasında değişen 32 farklı fakülteden 782 öğrenci (k:470, e:312) çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Covid-19 pandemisi ile ilgili bilgi kaynaklarının cinsiyet ve sınıflar düzeyi ile ilişkisi birbirinden bağımsız değildir. Covid-19 enfeksiyonunun bulaş yolu olarak kadınlar ve erkekler arasında sadece parental yolda kadınlar lehine anlamlı farklılık gözlenmiş (χ²=7.08; p0.05). Sonuç: Bu araştırmada, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin dental uygulamalar esnasında enfeksiyon bulaş riskinin farkındalığının arttırılması hedeflenmiş ve Covid-19 enfeksiyonunda korunmada dikkat edilmesi gereken önlemler üzerinde durulmuştur. Eğitimlerle öğrencilere Covid-19 enfeksiyonunun yol açtığı hastalık tablosu hakkında doğru ve akılcı bilgiler verilmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
