Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the selection and sequence of dental hygiene instruments taught during dental hygiene pre-clinical education in the United States.

Methods: Exempt status was received from the University of New Mexico's IRB (ID 21-336). A survey was developed with questions to be answered involving decisions for clinical teaching and sequencing on various assessment and implementation instruments during pre-clinic education. The instrument was 11 questions with multiple choice, ranking and short answer. A survey link was included through email invitation and successfully sent to 301 accredited dental hygiene programme directors in the United States. Results were collected and analysed through descriptive statistics.

Results: Forty-three of the invited participants completed the survey, a 14% response rate. Almost half (n = 24) of the participants chose to teach the periodontal probe first and 19 chose the explorer. Twenty-five participants selected they teach the sickle scalers first, 14 teach the universal curette scalers first and 4 teach the Gracey curette scalers first. All participants teach electronically powered scalers with 33 teaching after hand instrumentation and 8 before.

Conclusions: Results from this study emphasise that educators teach clinical instrumentation from professional opinion, but no attestation specifically suggests the use of evidence-based pedagogical standards for clinical teaching. Dental hygiene programmes could benefit from further research on pre-clinic instrument selection and sequencing as a way of standardised clinical teaching. These clinical implications could advance the science for standardised teaching of clinical instrumentation and sequencing in dental hygiene education.

口腔卫生临床前器械选择和顺序调查。
研究目的本研究旨在评估美国牙科卫生临床前教育中教授的牙科卫生器械的选择和顺序:新墨西哥大学的 IRB(ID 21-336)授予了豁免资格。新墨西哥大学获得了 IRB(ID 21-336)的豁免资格。调查问卷的问题涉及临床教学决策以及临床前教育中各种评估和实施工具的排序。调查问卷共有 11 个问题,包括多项选择、排序和简答。调查链接通过电子邮件发送给美国 301 位经认证的牙科卫生课程主任。调查结果通过描述性统计进行收集和分析:43名受邀参与者完成了调查,回复率为14%。近一半的参与者(n = 24)选择先教授牙周探针,19 人选择了探针。25 位参与者选择先教授镰刀式洁牙机,14 位先教授通用刮匙洁牙机,4 位先教授格雷斯刮匙洁牙机。所有参与者都在教授电子动力洁牙器,其中 33 人在手动器械操作后教授,8 人在手动器械操作前教授:这项研究的结果强调,教育者在教授临床器械时要从专业角度出发,但没有任何证明特别建议在临床教学中使用循证教学标准。口腔卫生课程可以从临床前器械选择和排序的进一步研究中获益,以此作为标准化临床教学的一种方式。这些临床意义可以推动口腔卫生教育中临床器械和排序标准化教学的科学发展。
