However, dental school students have few\u0000opportunities to learn about such care. The present study was performed to allow future curriculum planning by chronologically examining the\u0000influence of an end-of-life care lecture on students’ attitudes toward end-of-life care.\u0000Methods:The participants were 48 first-year dental school students (25 men and 23 women; medianage, 19.5y; range, 18 – 26y). The students’\u0000attitudes toward end-of-life care were measured using a shortened version of the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale, Form B,\u0000Japanese version.The survey was carried out three times—prior to the lecture, immediately after the lecture, and 7 months after the lecture to\u0000capture changes over time. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis.\u0000Results: A 100% collection rate/valid response rate was achieved before and immediately after the lecture. Furthermore, 91.7% of those who\u0000responded to the survey returned valid responses 7 months after the lecture. Of the six items, the post-lecture score for “it is meaningful for me\u0000to care for dying patients” increased significantly from the pre-lecture score (p < 0.05), but that recorded 7 months after the lecture did not\u0000show a significant difference from the pre-lecture score (p > 0.05).\u0000Conclusion: One-off lectures have limited influence on attitudes and awareness regarding end-of-life care among first-year dental students.\u0000Thus, a systematic curriculum over 6 years is necessary.","PeriodicalId":252788,"journal":{"name":"Global Dentistry","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122411998","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}

This study sought to assess\u0000the caries experience as well as determine the significant risk indicators for caries among young adults attending a tertiary health institution in Nigeria.\u0000Method: A one year retrospective study of patients within the age group 20-40 years who visited the dental out-patient clinic of University of Benin Teaching Hospital. The data\u0000of interest retrieved from the files included demographics (Gender, Age, Marital Status and Occupation), presenting complaint, missing teeth, decayed teeth, filled teeth.

The\u0000tooth with the highest caries affectation was the first permanent molars.\u0000Conclusion:The caries prevalence in this study population was high; occupation and age were significant risk indicators for caries, while married young adults had a greater\u0000caries experience.","PeriodicalId":252788,"journal":{"name":"Global Dentistry","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116697905","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}
