Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study examines dental hygiene students¡¯ knowledge of and attitudes and behavior toward elderly individuals. As the population of elderly people increases, the need for dental services for this group increases as well.
Methods: A frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and one-way ANOVA were conducted using SPSS 25.0.
Results: Participants had various levels of knowledge and differing attitudes and behavior toward elderly patients; subjects who were interested in older people had more positive attitudes toward the elderly, as did younger, less experienced participants and those who work with older people.
Conclusions: Future studies should use additional measurement tools and include different groups of participants to improve understanding of dental hygiene students¡¯ attitudes towards the elderly.
