| Abstract | Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja jest ispitati stavove studenata dentalne medicine na Medicinskom fakultetu u Splitu i doktora dentalne medicine koji rade u Splitu o medicini spavanja.
Metode: Proveli smo ispitivanje u koje je bilo uključeno ukupno 156 ispitanika (44 muškarca i 102 žene) od kojih je bilo 133 studenta dentalne medicine i 23 doktora dentalne medicine. Od ispitanika koji su ispunili anonimni upitnik, 115 ispitanika je odslušalo nastavu iz medicine spavanja tijekom studija dentalne medicine na Medicinskom fakultetu u Splitu, dok 39 ispitanika nije odslušalo nastavu iz medicine spavanja. Stavovi o medicini spavanja ispitali su se pomoću ASKME upitnika koji se sastojao se od 11 tvrdnji (S1-S11) na Likertovoj ljestvici koje su mjerile stavove ispitanika o medicini spavanja.
Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju značajnu razliku u zainteresiranosti za poremećaje spavanja između studenata i doktora dentalne medicine (3,43±1,00 vs. 4,13±1,10, P=0,003). Za razliku od studenata dentalne medicine, doktori dentalne medicine smatraju kako je potrebno više učiti o poremećajima spavanja tijekom studiranja (3,21±1,10 vs. 4,00±1,04, P=0,002). Nadalje, doktori dentalne medicine bi rado upisali kolegij o medicini spavanja kad bi takav predmet postojao u nastavnom planu i programu u odnosu na studente dentalne medicine (3,19±1,15 vs. 3,96±1,30, P=0,004). Analizom ukupnog broja bodova postignutog na 11 pitanja o stavu o medicini spavanja među ispitanicima rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako doktori dentalne medicine imaju veći rezultat u odnosu na studente dentalne medicine (38,91±5,89 vs. 35,50±5,69, P=0,009). S obzirom na činjenicu jesu li ispitanici tijekom studija imali prilike slušati o medicini spavanja i poremećajima spavanja, rezultati pokazuju kako ispitanici koji su imali nastavu iz medicine spavanja smatraju da potpuna anamneza uključuje i pitanja o kvaliteti spavanja, u usporedbi s ispitanicima koji nisu imali nastavu iz medicine spavanja (4,09±0,88 vs. 3,74±0,96, P=0,037). Analizom ukupnog broja bodova postignutog na 11 pitanja o stavu o medicini spavanja među ispitanicima obzirom na činjenicu jesu li tijekom studija slušali nastavu iz medicine spavanja rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako ispitanici koji su slušali nastavu iz dentalne medicine imaju veći rezultat u odnosu na ispitanike koji nisu slušali nastavu iz medicine spavanja (36,38±5,87 vs. 34,92±5,78, P=0,1805).
Zaključak: Naše istraživanje dokazalo je kako su studenti i doktori dentalne medicine izrazili pozitivan stav prema medicini spavanja te interes prema edukaciji iz medicine spavanja čime se ukazuje na mogućnost uvođenja nastave o medicini spavanja u nastavne planove i programe studija dentalne medicine ali i na drugim razinama edukacije poput poslijediplomske i specijalističke edukacije u dentalnoj medicini. |
| Abstract (english) | Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine attitudes of dental medicine students at the School of medicine, University of Split and doctors of dental medicine working in Split towards sleep medicine.
Methods: We conducted a study involving a total of 156 subjects (44 males and 102 women) of which 123 dental medicine students and 23 doctors of dental medicine were involved. Of the respondents who completed an anonymous questionnaire, 115 respondents attended the sleep medicine course during their education, while 39 respondents did not. Attitudes towards sleep medicine were investigated using a ASKME questionnaire consisting of 11 statements (S1-S11) that measured the attitudes towards sleep medicine.
Results: We found significant difference in interest towards sleep disorders among students and doctors of dental medicine (3,43±1,00 vs. 4,13±1,10, P=0,003). Unlike dental students, doctors of dental medicine believe that it is necessary to learn more about sleep disorders during their education (3,21±1,10 versus 4,00±1,04, P=0,002). Furthermore, doctors of dental medicine would gladly enroll in a course on sleep medicine if such a course existed in the curriculum in relation to students of dental medicine (3,19±1,15 vs. 3,96±1,30, P=0,004). By analyzing the total number of points reached on 11 questions about the attitude towards sleep medicine among the respondents, the results show that doctors of dental medicine have a higher score compared to students of dental medicine (38,91 ± 5,89 vs. 35,50±5,69, P=0,009). Given the fact that subjects during their education have had the opportunity to listen to sleep medicine and sleep disorders courses, the results show that respondents who have had those courses believe that complete anamnesis also includes questions about sleep quality compared to those who did not have the same experience (4,09±0,88 vs. 3,74± 0,96, P=0,037). By analyzing the total number of points reached on 11 questions about the attitude towards sleep medicine among the respondents due to the fact that during their education they attended a course of sleep medicine, the results of the research show that respondents who have attended such course have a higher score compared to those who did not (36,38±5,87 vs. 34,92±5,78, P=0,1805).
Conclusion: Our research has shown that students and doctors of dental medicine have expressed a positive attitude towards sleep medicine and interest in sleep medicine education, suggesting the possibility of introducing sleep medicine teaching in dental medicine curricula and programs, as well as on other levels of education such as postgraduate and specialist training in dental medicine. |
