目的：评价伊朗牙医感染控制行为的影响因素。设计：横断面问卷调查。地点：参加全国牙科大会的伊朗全科牙科医生(GDP)。方法：GDPS填写一份自填式问卷，内容包括他们对感染控制的态度和行为。背景因素包括GDP的出生年份、性别和与工作有关的因素。统计评价采用卡方检验、克朗巴赫α检验和回归分析。结果：共有479名GDPS收回问卷。他们的平均年龄为38.6岁(SD=9.4)，其中53%为男性。绝大多数国内生产总值对被问及的IC标准持肯定态度，不同GDP背景特征无统计学差异。在所有受访者中，70%的人报告说，他们会将寄送物品的感染状况告知实验室，在将印模送到实验室之前对印模进行消毒，并在使用高速或超声波设备之前清洗患者的口腔。10%的受访者报告遵守所有研究的IC标准；更多的是年轻的GDPS和经验年限较少的人(P<；0.05)。结论：在牙医教育中，尤其是在继续教育中，需要更多地重视感染控制计划。
Aim:To evaluate the determinants of Iranian dentists' behaviour regarding infection control (IC).Design:A cross-sectional questionnaire survey.Setting:Iranian general dental practitioners (GDP) participating in a national dental congress.Methods:The GDPs filled in a self-administered questionnaire containing questions regarding their attitudes towards and their behaviour on several aspects of IC. Background factors included GDP's year of birth, gender, and work-related factors. Statistical evaluation employed the Chi-square test, Cronbach alpha, and regression analysis.Results:In total, 479 GDPs returned the questionnaire. Their mean age was 38.6 years (SD = 9.4) and 53% were men. The vast majority of the GDPs had positive attitudes towards the inquired after IC criteria with no statistical difference based on the GDP's background characteristics. Of all respondents, > 70% reported that they inform the laboratory about the infection status of the sent items, disinfect impressions before sending to the laboratory, and wash patients' mouths before working with high-speed or ultrasonic devices. Adherence to all the studied IC criteria was reported by 10% of the respondents; more frequently by younger GDPs and those with fewer experience years (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Greater emphasis on infection control programmes in dentists' education is called for especially in continuing education.
