Abstract:

 Objective: This study aims to evaluate the perspectives of preclinical dentistry students 1st, 2nd and 3rd year towards disabled individuals before starting their clinical internship training. Methods: Our study was planned on 217 preclinical dentistry students studying at a dentistry faculty in Turkey. Survey form: It consists of 46 questions in total, including 6 questions that introduce students and 40 questions that constitute the Attitude Scale towards People Affected by Disabilities. The questions were directed to students in the Fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. For the analysis of the study; Power analysis, Frequency analysis, Normality test Shapiro-Wilk, Independent T test, One-Way Analysis of Variance ANOVA and Tukey test were used. The significance level was accepted as α0.05. Results: 179 students; 111 females and 68 males participated in the study. The participation rate was found to be 82.49. With the perspectives of preclinical dentistry students towards disabled individuals; there wasnt significant difference in terms of their gender p0.05, education level p0.05, attendance at any trainingseminar on disabled individuals p0.05, presence of a disabled individual among their acquaintances p0.05 and living in the same house with a disabled individual p0.05. However, a statistical difference was detected in terms of the frequency of meeting with disabled individuals p0.01. Conclusion: It was determined that students generally had a positive attitude towards disabled individuals. We think that it would be beneficial to conduct this research in the future by reaching a larger number of preclinical dentistry students with the participation of different dental faculties.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, preklinik diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin 1., 2. ve 3. sınıf klinik staj eğitimlerine başlamadan önce engelli bireylere yönelik bakış açılarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışmamız, Türkiyedeki bir diş hekimliği fakültesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 217 preklinik diş hekimliği öğrencisi üzerinde planlandı. Anket formu; öğrencileri tanıtıcı 6 soru ve Yetersizlikten Etkilenmiş Kişilere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeğini oluşturan 40 soru olmak üzere toplamda 46 sorudan meydana gelmektedir. Sorular, 2023-2024 eğitim öğretim yılı Güz döneminde öğrencilere yönlendirildi. Çalışmanın analizi için; Güç Power analizi, Frekans analizi, Normallik testi Shapiro-Wilk, Bağımsız T testi, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi ANOVA ve Tukey testi kullanıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi α0,05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya, 111i kadın ve 68i erkek olmak üzere 179 öğrenci katıldı. Katılım oranı 82,49 olarak bulundu. Preklinik diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin engelli bireylere yönelik bakış açıları ile; cinsiyetleri p0,05, eğitim düzeyleri p0,05, engelli bireylerle ilgili herhangi bir eğitimederse katılma durumları p0,05, tanıdıkları arasında engelli birey bulunma durumu p0,05 ve engelli birey ile aynı evde yaşama durumu p0,05 bakımından anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı. Ancak, engelli bireyler ile görüşme sıklığı açısından p0,01 istatistiksel bir farklılık saptandı. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin genel olarak engelli bireylere karşı olumlu bir tutum içerisinde oldukları tespit edildi. Bu araştırmanın, ilerleyen zamanda farklı diş hekimliği fakültelerinin de katılımıyla birlikte daha fazla sayıda preklinik diş hekimliği öğrencisine ulaşılarak yapılmasının faydalı olacağını düşünmekteyiz.
