Therefore, it is crucial to understand various mistrusts regarding COVID-19 vaccine. The aim of the study was to investigate the knowledge and attitude regarding COVID-19 vaccine and its self-reported adverse effects among staffs and students of dental college in Himachal Pradesh. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted among the students and staff members of H. P. Government Dental College and Hospital, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. All those who received the vaccine from January 22 to February 8, 2021, were included. The survey was divided into two sections. Section 1 of the questionnaire included 14 questions which were regarding the knowledge and attitude of COVID-19 vaccine, whereas Section 2 of the questionnaire included a table with 13 symptoms, and the participants were asked to check the postvaccine symptoms whichever they experienced with the duration. Results: Majority, i.e., 94 of the recipients had pain at the injection site which had a duration range of 24 h to 4–5 days. Of 111 participants, 88 had a symptom of chills lasting 8 h to 48–72 h. 74.5% were hesitant to treat patients due to COVID-19 infection worries. 75.4% considered the need to follow COVID-19 appropriate behaviors such as wearing mask, maintain social distancing, and not going to crowded places even after vaccination. Conclusion: Participants in this survey reported favorable attitudes toward vaccination. The commonly reported adverse effects of vaccination were pain at injection, chills, body ache, and fever.","PeriodicalId":16001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Association of Public Health Dentistry","volume":"21 1","pages":"72 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41909827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the assessment is subjective, it can under/overestimate the student's performance and thus impair the learning process. Rubrics help standardize the assessment by giving guidelines to both the assessor and the student and minimize subjectivity. Methodology: A mixed method design was employed to identify the inter- and intra-rater reliability of assessing narrative reports and explore the faculty perceptions on using rubrics for the assessment of narrative reports. Results: The inter-rater reliability scores were 0.08 without the use of rubrics and 0.93 with the use of rubrics demonstrating a statistically significant-excellent reliability when rubrics were used. The intra- and inter-examiner mean total assessment scores showed a statistically significant variation when rubrics were not used while the variation was reduced with the use of rubric. The two examiners who were part of the study welcomed the use of rubrics for assessment. They concurred that rubrics gave the assessor the schema and minimized the subjectivity of the assessment. Although the time taken for assessment was initially longer with a rubric scale, subsequently, the time taken was reduced. The assessors felt that they were now in a position to give richer constructive feedback to students. They felt that the students should also know the rubric scale beforehand so that it sets the expectations and helps the student to set self-determined learning goals. Conclusion: The use of rubrics improves inter- and intra-rater reliability of assessment scores. It gives a direction to the examiners and helps categorizing the student performance with minimal subjectivity.","PeriodicalId":16001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Association of Public Health Dentistry","volume":"21 1","pages":"76 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46440853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, estimating the appropriate sample size for any research is critical to ensure adequate power to detect statistical significance. We frequently extract data from previous similar research publications to calculate sample size. When there are several research publications available in the literature from which the sample size for a particular study can be estimated, the researchers will be at a loss as to which one to choose. In such cases, the researcher may choose a reference article at random, or by identifying a recent publication, and/or by selecting a reference article that results to erroneous sample size estimation. There is no appropriate guidance for selecting the reference article, so the resulting sample size can be overestimated or underestimated. Sometimes, researchers purposefully choose a reference study to calculate a smaller sample size for their research, and such manipulations go unnoticed. Occasionally, a researcher may unintentionally select a highly biased reference article without critically evaluating it. These practices can result in inaccurate sample size estimates, undermining the scientific validity of research evidence. Considering this dilemma when selecting a suitable reference article for sample size estimation, it is appropriate to use the risk of bias assessment on all relevant articles and choose the one with the lowest risk of bias. There are already several risks of bias scales available for various research designs. This technique can address both unintentional and intentional mistakes in selecting the reference article for sample size. In research publications, the disclosure of the risk of bias assessment for sample size reference articles improves transparency and the internal and external validity of research. Considering the real potential of this strategy of introducing the risk of bias in selecting appropriate reference articles for sample size estimation should also be incorporated in the research reporting guidelines such as CONSORT guidelines.

The data obtained were tabulated in Microsoft Excel and statistically analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM Corporation) software. Results: In the present study, only 39.4% of the participants were aware of routine dental check-ups. 8.5% of the participants visited the dental clinic twice a year and 57% of the participants had never visited a dental clinic. 37.3% of the participants were aware of oral hygiene aids. 62% of the participants used a tongue cleaner routinely and 55.5% brushed their teeth using only horizontal brushing technique. 48.6% were aware that consuming tobacco causes cancer. Only 9.2% consumed tobacco in various forms. 49% of the participants felt that all dental procedures were painful and expressed fear. 81% of the students were unaware of dental fluorosis. 65.5% of the participants agreed that dental health education is important and 21.8% thought that it might be important. Inferential statistics using the Pearson Chi-square test showed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the responses and the Year of law degree the participant was pursuing. Conclusion: In the present study, law students have satisfactory knowledge about good oral hygiene practices and oral health care. However, the knowledge acquired must be transferred into daily practice. This can be achieved by a change in their attitude toward oral hygiene maintenance. The inclusion of oral health-oriented education programs in their curriculum would improve their knowledge along with behavior, and they would be a good model to the community.

Aim: To evaluate the genetic influence on dental caries and malocclusion. Objective: To assess the prevalence of dental caries and malocclusion in the family tree. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted among 26 families of Barwala, District Panchkula, Haryana, India. Clinical examination was conducted to assess dental caries [Decayed Filled Surface Index (DFS/dfs)] and malocclusion (Dental Aesthetic Index). Heritability within the study population was assessed within the pairs: grandparent–grandchildren pair and parent–children pair. Data were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics version-24. Results: Dental caries prevalence in grandfather–grandchildren pairs was 35.29% as compared to grandmother–grandchildren pair (36.36%), whereas father–children pair had 38% and mother–children pair had 42.59%. Statistically significant results were obtained for caries in grandmother–grandchildren pairs, father–children pair, and mother–children pair but not for grandfather–grandchildren. The prevalence of malocclusion in grandfather–grandchildren pairs was 70.58% as compared to grandmother–grandchildren pairs (13.63%), whereas the father–children pair had 52% and mother-children pair had 20.37%. Statistically, a significant result was obtained for a malocclusion among grandparent–grandchildren pair and parent–children pair. Conclusion: This study attempts at defining genetic implications in dental caries and malocclusion process. Caries prevalence was higher in mother–children pairs than in the father-children pair. The grandfather–grandchildren pairs had a higher prevalence of malocclusion than grandmother-grandchildren pairs.
