Abstract

Introduction

Current legislation leaves Oral Health Professional (OHP) education open to wide interpretation and may result in significant variation in educational practice and resultant professional attributes across Europe. Data regarding the current state of OHP education across Europe is limited. The aim of Part 1 of this series is to provide programme-level data for Primary Dental Degree Programmes, Dental Hygiene and Postgraduate Education.

Methods

A 91-item questionnaire was developed following the Delphi method. The questionnaire and the Articulate glossary of OHP education terms were developed concurrently to facilitate a common understanding of language. Piloting was performed in multiple stages and included institutions internal and external to the research group. The questionnaire was uploaded online and converted to a data hub, allowing dental schools to control their own data and update the data provided whenever they wish. All ADEE member schools (n = 144) were invited to provide data. Forty questions relating to school details, Primary Dental Degree Programmes, Dental Hygiene and Postgraduate Education were included in this part of the series.

Results

Seventy-one institutions from 25 European countries provided data between June 2021 and April 2023, which represents a response rate of 49.3% of ADEE members. Programme-level data for Primary Dental Degree Programmes, Dental Hygiene and Postgraduate Education is presented including programme length, funding, languages and fees, student numbers and demographics, student admission and selection processes and permission to practice after graduation.

Conclusion

This series of papers, as far as the authors are aware, are the first attempts to build a comprehensive picture of the current state of OHP education in Europe. A comprehensive view of the state of OHP education in Europe is not yet available but the O-Health-Edu data hub provides a means for all education providers in Europe to contribute data to reach this goal. It is anticipated that the data hub will be updated and built upon over time to continually establish a clearer picture of the state of OHP education in Europe.

O-HEALTH-EDU：欧洲口腔健康专业教育现状透视：第 1 部分：计划层面的数据。

导言：现行法律对口腔卫生专业人员（OHP）教育的解释较为宽泛，可能导致欧洲各国在教育实践和由此产生的专业属性方面存在巨大差异。有关欧洲口腔保健专业教育现状的数据十分有限。本系列的第一部分旨在提供初级牙科学位课程、口腔卫生和研究生教育的课程数据：方法：采用德尔菲法编制了一份 91 个项目的调查问卷。问卷和 "铿锵 "口腔保健教育术语表是同时开发的，以促进对语言的共同理解。试点工作分多个阶段进行，包括研究小组内部和外部机构。问卷被上传到网上并转换成数据中心，允许牙科学校控制自己的数据并随时更新所提供的数据。所有ADEE成员学校（n = 144）都被邀请提供数据。这部分系列调查包括40个与学校详情、初级牙科学位课程、牙科卫生学和研究生教育有关的问题：来自 25 个欧洲国家的 71 所院校提供了 2021 年 6 月至 2023 年 4 月期间的数据，占 ADEE 成员答复率的 49.3%。结果：来自 25 个欧洲国家的 71 所院校提供了 2021 年 6 月至 2023 年 4 月期间的数据，回复率为 49.3%。报告提供了初级牙科学位课程、口腔卫生和研究生教育的课程数据，包括课程长度、资金、语言和费用、学生人数和人口统计、学生录取和选拔过程以及毕业后的执业许可：据作者所知，这一系列论文是首次尝试全面介绍欧洲开放式卫生教育的现状。目前还无法全面了解欧洲的开放式水文计划教育现状，但开放式健康教育数据中心为欧洲所有教育机构提供了一个途径，使其能够为实现这一目标贡献数据。预计随着时间的推移，该数据中心将不断更新和发展，以持续建立一个更清晰的欧洲开放式水文计划教育状况图。
