| Popis: | Hiv teaching A dental curriculum which fosters knowledge and attitude. Objectives A pilot study to explore dental students views of current HIV related teaching and to assess the impact of this teaching on the students' self-perceived confidence in delivering dental care to HIV patients. Methods A short cross-sectional survey was conducted to gather the views of students on both objectives. Data was collected using an online self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive data analysis was conducted and used to present the data. Additionally, a one to one interview was performed with a past dental student for a thematic analysis. Results The HIV teaching at this dental school uses different learning approaches involving didactic, reflective, and participatory methods to address the knowledge, attitudinal and skills objectives. A didactic and experiential problem-based approach using role-play with simulated patients with feedback, and discussion is utilised. Preliminary results show dental students perceive the course to be valuable and there is a general improvement in confidence in their knowledge and ability to communicate with HIV-positive patients. Conclusions This evaluation suggests the course format and content are appropriate in providing education and training for dental students and supports the value of teaching HIV to undergraduate students. |
