摘要

目的：本研究旨在评估巴勒斯坦权力机构对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）的知识水平和态度。方法：于2025年1月至2025年3月对阿拉伯裔美国大学牙科专业高年级学生和巴勒斯坦牙科从业人员进行在线横断面问卷调查。使用谷歌Drive创建了一份包含人口统计、知识和态度类别的37项问卷。结果：共有585名高级牙科学生和牙科医生参与调查，平均总知识得分为17.9±4.72分（23分），态度得分为21.49±3.41分（28分）。牙科专科学生的知识水平最高，普通牙科医生的知识水平最低。结论：牙科医生对OSA的认识不足，对OSA患者的管理和转诊持中立态度。因此，有必要修订牙科学校的课程，组织更多关于OSA的教育项目。

Knowledge and attitude toward obstructive sleep apnea among senior dental students, general dental practitioners, and dental specialists in Palestinian Authority: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitude toward obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Palestinian Authority.

Methods: An online cross-sectional questionnaire was conducted from January 2025 to March 2025 and targeted senior dental students at Arab American University and Palestinian dental practitioners. A 37-item questionnaire including demographics, knowledge, and attitude categories was created using Google Drive.

Results: A total of 585 senior dental students and dental practitioners responded to the survey, with a mean total knowledge score of 17.9 ±4.72 out of 23, and attitude score of 21.49 ±3.41 out of 28. Senior dental students revealed the highest knowledge level while the general dental practitioners showed the lowest.

Conclusions: Dental practitioners had insufficient knowledge about OSA and a neutral attitude regarding OSA patients' management and referrals. Thus, revision of curricula in dental schools and organizing more educational programs about OSA are needed.

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
