Özet

Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is contagious through respiratory droplets, close contact and aerosols emitted from high-end instruments. Dentists are at high risk for infection and have become carriers of the disease. Thus, dental health professionals should have sufficient knowledge and a high level of awareness on this issue. This study aimed to investigate the levels of knowledge and awareness about COVID-19 among dentists, students of dentistry and dental nurses. Materials and Methods: This study included 124 dentists, 122 students of dentistry and 128 nurses. A closed-ended questionnaire was developed with the help of the existing literature. The questionnaire, containing ten questions, was divided into three parts. Results: Dentists, nurses and students of dentistry had adequate information regarding COVID-19. It was determined that all the participating dentists (100%) and nurses (100%) and most students of dentistry (97.5%) felt threatened by being exposed to COVID-19 infection. A significantly higher proportion of dentists (58.9%) and clinical students (55.7%) compared to nurses (9.4%) believed that using protective equipment during dental practice will not protect them against COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: Dental health care workers should be trained in the prevention and control of COVID-19, and they should regularly renew these skills to protect themselves against new infections that may occur in the future.

Abstract

Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) solunum damlacığı, yakın temas ve yüksek hızlı aletlerden yayılan son aerosoller yoluyla bulaşıcıdır, diş hekimleri enfeksiyon için büyük risk altındadır ve hastalığın taşıyıcıları haline gelmişlerdir. Bu nedenle diş hekimliği sağlık çalışanlarının bu konuda yeterli bilgiye sahip olması ve farkındalık yaratması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, diş hekimleri, diş hekimliği klinik öğrencileri ve diş hekimliği hemşirelerinin COVID-19 hakkındaki bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya 124 diş hekimi, 122 diş hekimliği klinik öğrencisi ve 128 diş hekimliği hemşiresi dahil edildi. Mevcut literatür yardımıyla kapalı uçlu bir anket geliştirildi. On soru içeren anket üç bölüme ayrıldı. Bulgular: Diş hekimleri, hemşireler ve klinik öğrencileri COVID-19 hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahiptir. Tüm diş hekimleri (%100) ve hemşirelerin (%100) ve çoğu klinik öğrencisinin (%97,5) COVID-19 enfeksiyonuna karşı tehdit altında hissettiği belirlendi. Diş hekimi muayenesi sırasında koruyucu ekipman kullanmanın COVID-19 enfeksiyonuna karşı korumayacağını düşünen diş hekimleri (%58,9) ve klinik öğrencilerinin oranı hemşirelere göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksekti (%9,4). Sonuç: Diş hekimliği sağlık çalışanları, COVID-19’un önlenmesi ve kontrolü konusunda eğitilmeli ve gelecekte oluşabilecek yeni enfeksiyonlara karşı korunmak için bu becerileri düzenli olarak yenilemelidirler
