Abstract

Introduction

With the premise that the demanding educational process and associated factors could influence the work-related quality of life (WRQoL) of dental students, this study aimed to investigate the influence of diverse sociodemographic and health-related factors, clinical education status, and sleep quality on the WRQoL of dental students.

Materials and Methods

A three-part questionnaire was administered to a group of preclinical and clinical dental students studying in different classes. The first part of the questionnaire included various sociodemographic and health-related questions. In the second part, the multidimensional 23-item WRQoL scale, with established validity and reliability, was applied to evaluate the WRQoL of the students. The last part of the questionnaire included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, comprising 19 items. General linear models were created to predict subscale scores using sociodemographic and health-related characteristics, as well as univariate significant independent variables.

Results

It was observed that the majority of the participants (78.2%) had poor sleep quality. Being clinical dental students had a significant and positive effect on the stress at work domain of WRQoL (p = .006), while it had a significant and negative effect on the home-work interface domain (p < .001). The decrease in sleep quality had a significant and negative effect on all domains of WRQoL (p < .05) except for the stress at work domain.

Conclusions

Clinical education status, regular smoking, and sleep quality significantly affect different domains of dental students' WRQoL. Changes in these factors should be considered in approaches to increasing students' WRQoL.

社会人口和健康相关因素、临床教育状况以及睡眠质量对牙科学生工作相关生活质量的影响

引言本研究的前提是苛刻的教育过程和相关因素会影响口腔医学生与工作相关的生活质量（WRQoL），因此本研究旨在调查不同的社会人口学和健康相关因素、临床教育状况和睡眠质量对口腔医学生WRQoL的影响。问卷的第一部分包括各种社会人口学和健康相关问题。在第二部分中，采用了23个项目的多维WRQoL量表来评估学生的WRQoL，该量表具有公认的有效性和可靠性。问卷的最后一部分包括匹兹堡睡眠质量指数，共有 19 个项目。利用社会人口学特征、健康相关特征以及单变量显著自变量建立了一般线性模型来预测分量表得分。作为临床牙科学生，对 WRQoL 的工作压力领域有显著的积极影响（p = .006），而对家庭-工作界面领域有显著的消极影响（p < .001）。除了工作压力领域外，睡眠质量的下降对 WRQoL 的所有领域都有显著的负面影响（p < .05）。在提高学生 WRQoL 的方法中应考虑这些因素的变化。

期刊介绍： The aim of the European Journal of Dental Education is to publish original topical and review articles of the highest quality in the field of Dental Education. The Journal seeks to disseminate widely the latest information on curriculum development teaching methodologies assessment techniques and quality assurance in the fields of dental undergraduate and postgraduate education and dental auxiliary personnel training. The scope includes the dental educational aspects of the basic medical sciences the behavioural sciences the interface with medical education information technology and distance learning and educational audit. Papers embodying the results of high-quality educational research of relevance to dentistry are particularly encouraged as are evidence-based reports of novel and established educational programmes and their outcomes.
