DENTAL TRAUMA KNOWLEDGE LEVEL AMONG EDUCATIONAL FACULTY SENIOR STUDENTS

ABSTRACT: Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the level of knowledge of dental trauma and especially permanent dental avulsion among the Department of Primary Education senior students. Material and Methods: Ethical approval of Hacettepe University Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Board was obtained. The data were collected via a structured, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire in Hacettepe University Faculty of Education. Results: A total of 145 students, 60 (41.0%) from the division of Early Childhood Education and 85 (59.0%) from the division of Classroom Education participated in this descriptive study. Of the students, 9.7% had previously received training on oral dental injuries. Even 33.1% knew that avulsed permanent tooth can be replanted, 91.7% thought that the tooth should not be replanted by themselves. Almost all of the students (94.5%) wish to learn more information about dental trauma. Conclusion: It has been observed that senior students’ level of knowledge related to dental trauma was inadequate. In this regard, prospective primary education teachers are in training need about this subject. It is also recommended that basic information on dental trauma has to be given in the context of first aid and emergency intervention trainings in these departments. Keywords: Tooth avulsion, knowledge, dental trauma, teacher   EĞİTİM FAKÜLTESİ SON SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN AĞIZ DİŞ YARANMASINA İLİŞKİN BİLGİ DÜZEYİ   ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Temel Eğitim Bölümü son sınıf öğrencilerinin ağız-diş yaralanmalarına ve özellikle de daimi diş avulsiyonuna (yerinden çıkması) ilişkin bilgilerinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hacettepe Üniversitesi (H.Ü.) Girişimsel Olmayan Klinik Araştırmalar Etik Kurul izni alınmıştır. Veriler yapılandırılmış, ön denemeden geçirilmiş, araştırıcılar tarafından hazırlanmış bir anket aracılığı ile H.Ü. Eğitim Fakültesinde toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Bu tanımlayıcı nitelikteki çalışmaya Okul Öncesi Eğitimi Anabilim Dalından 60 (% 41,0) ve Sınıf Eğitimi Anabilim Dalından 85 (% 59,0) olmak üzere toplam 145 öğretmen adayı öğrenci katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin % 9,7’si önceden ağız- diş yaralanmalarına ilişkin eğitim almış olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Çalışmada % 33,1 öğrencinin avulse olmuş daimi dişin yerine geri yerleştirilmesi gerektiğini bilmekte olduğu; ancak % 91,7’sinin bu müdahalenin kendileri tarafından yapılmaması gerektiğini düşündükleri görülmüştür. Neredeyse tüm öğrenciler (% 94,5) ağız-diş yaralanmaları hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmek istediklerini belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç: Çalışmada son sınıf temel eğitim bölümü öğretmen adayı öğrencilerinin ağız-diş yaralanmaları konusunda bilgi düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda temel eğitim bölümü öğretmen adaylarının ilgili konuda eğitim ihtiyaçları olduğu düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca bu bölümlerde verilen ilk yardım ve acil müdahale eğitimleri kapsamında da temel ağız-diş yaralanmaları bilgisinin verilmesi önerilmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Diş avulsiyonu, bilgi, diş yaralanması, öğretmen
