摘要

背景:印度老年人口不断增加,需要口腔卫生工作人员给予特别关注。本研究从培训者(教师)的角度探讨了牙科教师对老年牙科在牙科课程中的地位的看法,以及在印度目前的牙科培训部门中实施老年牙科课程所面临的挑战:我们采用定性方法,与不同级别的学术教师--系主任(8 人)、研究委员会成员(7 人)、院长(5 人)、讲师和副教授(8 人)--进行了四次焦点小组讨论。所有讨论都进行了录音和转录。采用归纳法对数据进行主题分析和编码。通过讨论就主题达成了共识:确定了三个主题--管理老年病人的独特挑战(与牙科护理接壤、态度、意识、社会问题和对家庭的依赖);提供老年病护理的当前问题(课程问题--教师培训、学生培训、教学内容、授课时间;学生和培训师的态度;基础设施问题)和发展战略(提高决策者的认识、与其他机构合作、修改课程设计、改进教育战略和转变病人护理方式):教员们认为非常有必要培养牙科学生的老年医学能力。基于当地需求的老年牙科课程可以确保变革的成功和持续。开设老年牙科专业将确保为不断增加的老年人口提供高质量的口腔护理。创新的教学策略、跨学科培训和较新技术的使用有助于改善老年牙科的教学。

Dental teachers' perceptions about the status of geriatric dentistry in the dental curriculum: A qualitative exploration in the Indian context.

Background: The increasing geriatric population in India needs special attention from the oral health workforce. This study explores dental teachers' perceptions of the status of geriatric dentistry in the dental curriculum and the challenges of implementing geriatric dentistry curriculum in the present dental training sector in India from the trainers' (teachers) perspective.

Methods: We utilised a qualitative approach, and four focus group discussions were conducted with/among various levels of academic teachers-Heads of Departments (n = 8), Board of Study members (n = 7), Deans (n = 5), Lecturers and Associate professors (n = 8). All discussions were audio-taped and transcribed. Data was analysed thematically, and coding was done using an inductive approach. Consensus on themes was achieved through deliberations.

Results: Three themes were identified-Unique challenges in managing geriatric patients (bordering on Dental care, Attitude, Awareness, Social issues and dependency on family); Current issues with provision of geriatric care (Curricular concerns-Teachers' training, Students' training, Instructional content, timing of delivery; Students' and trainers' attitudes; Infrastructural issues) and Strategies for advancement (Sensitisation of policymakers, Collaboration with other agencies, Modification in course design, Improved educational strategies and Shift in patient care delivery).

Conclusion: Trainers perceived a strong need to develop geriatric competencies among dental students. A geriatric dentistry curriculum based on local needs could ensure the success and sustenance of change. Introducing specialisation in geriatric dentistry would ensure quality oral care for the rising geriatric population. Innovative teaching strategies, interdisciplinary training and the use of newer technologies could aid in improved teaching of geriatric dentistry.

期刊介绍: The ultimate aim of Gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. In addition, management of other health problems impacts on dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who are seeking to read and to publish papers across a broad spectrum of specialties. This journal provides the juxtaposition of papers from traditional specialties but which share this patient-centred interest, providing a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.
