目的:本研究的目的是评估临床示范的影响,本科牙科学生的信心,当治疗患者需要可拆卸的局部义齿。方法:45名本科牙科学生治疗他们的第一个病人需要可拆卸的局部义齿的信心进行了评估,使用问卷调查。23名学生在接受治疗前进行了示范,其余学生没有进行示范。结果进行了评估所花费的时间来完成的程序,以临床上可接受的standard.Results:所有的学生表示高水平的协议与声明,表达他们的信心,在应对所进行的临床程序。更有信心的学生比其他学生更快地完成了他们的临床程序,无论他们是否接受了演示。在接受临床示范的小组中,更自信的学生比例更高;因此,可以得出结论,这些小组的表现更好,以达到所需临床标准所需的时间来衡量。所有收到示威的学生都认为他们从中受益,而67%没有收到示威的学生认为他们会从中受益。对学生评论的分析表明,示范促进了信心,沟通技巧,理解和回忆在临床情况。谁没有察觉到从示威中获益的学生认为,他们有更多的时间一对一teaching.CONCLUSION:这项研究表明,那些学生谁收到了临床演示之前立即治疗他们的病人认为他们更有信心,因此他们的表现得到了改善。临床演示是耗时的,但它们似乎是值得花费的时间。
AIM: This study was designed to assess the influence of clinical demonstrations, on the confidence of undergraduate dental students, when treating patients requiring removable partial dentures.METHOD: The confidence of 45 undergraduate dental students treating their first patient requiring removable partial dentures was assessed using questionnaires. 23 students were given demonstrations prior to carrying out the treatment; the remainder did not receive a demonstration. Outcome was assessed by the time taken to complete the procedures to a clinically acceptable standard.RESULTS: All the students indicated high levels of agreement with a statement expressing their confidence in coping with the clinical procedures undertaken. The more confident students completed their clinical procedures more quickly than other students, irrespective as to whether they had received a demonstration or not. There was a higher proportion of more confident students in the groups who had received a clinical demonstration; it can therefore be concluded that these groups performed better, as measured by the time taken to achieve the required clinical standard. All the students who had received a demonstration believed they had benefited from it, whilst 67% of the students who had not received a demonstration believed they would have benefited from one. Analysis of the students' comments indicated that demonstrations facilitated confidence, communication skills, understanding and recall in the clinical situation. Students who did not perceive a benefit from the demonstrations believed that they had more time for one to one teaching.CONCLUSION: This study showed that those students who had received a clinical demonstration immediately prior to treating their patients believed they were more confident and as a result their performance was improved. Clinical demonstrations are time consuming, but they would appear to be time well spent.
