Dawson, Kathryn Fox, Marina Harris, Mark Jellicoe, Callum C.

The General Dental Council has also explicitly recognised the importance of self-regulated learning, and other associated behaviours, in the new The safe practitioner framework. However, traditional learning designs focus on the development of academic and clinical skills, and assume that psychosocial skills, which support self-regulated learning and enable the management of personal challenging circumstances, are already present. Unfortunately, data suggest that the psychosocial skills in many students currently entering healthcare programmes are relatively underdeveloped, impacting upon their approaches to learning and their mental health, and potentially, patient safety. Therefore, there is a need to support students in their psychosocial development. This development starts with teachers understanding the societal, academic and environmental circumstances that their current students have experienced, followed by the consideration of the importance of psychosocial skills within their dental education. This paper discusses these matters and suggests a psychosocial sub-curriculum along with a suggested framework for its implementation.","PeriodicalId":9229,"journal":{"name":"British Dental Journal","volume":"238 6","pages":"403-407"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41415-024-8231-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
