Objective: evaluate empathy and its dimensions in two different annual periods and determine the strengths and weaknesses observed in empathy and its dimensions. Material and methods: non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional study. The population was made up of Colombian dental students. The sample consisted of two cohorts: n=326 students, 100% of the population (cohort 2016) and n=207 students, 87.34% of the population (cohort 2022). Empathy was measured by the JES-HPS instrument. A confirmatory factor analysis, reliability and invariance was applied. Comparisons of empathy between cohorts were performed by factorial analysis of variance. Results. the three-dimensional theoretical model was met in both cohorts studied. Reliability levels were acceptable. No relevant statistical differences were found between the cohorts and a decline is observed in the second and fifth grades of empathy and dimensions in general. Conclusions. the values of empathy and its dimensions have remained unchanged over time and empathy is classified as “medium level.” As a consequence of the above, medium levels of empathy could be associated with a deficit in the ability to understand the subjectivity of thought. of the patient and, this situation, complicates a normal empathic attitude.

Foundation: the learning styles and approaches allow us to know how the student faces this process and the way in which they process the information that must be assimilated. Objective: to identify the learning styles and approaches used by Dentistry students and their relationship with academic performance in the Pharmacology discipline. Methods: a descriptive-cross-sectional study, with a qualitative-quantitative approach, carried out from November 2021 to January 2022. The non-probabilistic sample consisted of 28 students (90.3%) in the second year of the Dentistry course taught at the Havana Dentistry Faculty. Two instruments were applied to the participants: the Honey and Alonso questionnaire on learning styles and the Approaches and Inventory of Student Study Skills questionnaire. The dimensions of academic performance were excellent, good, and regular. Results: the very high/high preference predominated in the theoretical style (67.86%) and the moderate preference in the reflective style (67.86%). A significant relationship was found between the number of very high/high preference learning styles and academic performance (p=0.044), and between the reflective style and academic performance (p=0.024). Also, a significant relationship was found between academic performance and the strategic learning approach (p=0.008) and the preference for the transmission of information (p=0.028). Conclusions: there are learning styles and approaches among students that are related to academic performance in Pharmacology; Aspects that should be considered for the improvement of the teaching process of this discipline in Dentistry are shown.

The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of suspected child abuse (CA) in pediatric dentistry clinics of a Colombian public university. Descriptive study in 100 parent-child pairs aged 6 to 9 years and dental students. A questionnaire was designed and applied, inquiring about sociodemographic variables, general suspicion of CA and suspicion of CA was clinically evaluated according to injuries in the child. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were performed using X2 test. The results show the prevalence of general suspicion of CA was 12% and of suspected CA according to orofacial lesions 24%; the most prevalent extraoral and intraoral lesion was laceration (10%). Significant relationships were found between general suspicion of CA with tearing of the labial frenulum, multiple scars, burns suggestive of CA, bite marks, contusions, and lip laceration (p<0.05) and between suspicion of CA according to orofacial injuries and inadequate clothing, evidence of pain in the body, inadequate management of bodily injuries among others (p<0.05). It is concluded that in pediatric dentistry clinics in the university setting, suspicious lesions of CA can be presented from the general and orofacial evaluation; it is ethical and legal to train dental students in their detection, reporting and intervention, protecting the wellbeing of the child beyond the mouth.

Bioethics has been formally added, since 2008, to the curricula of dentistry courses in Ecuador. Documents have also been created that govern the ethical actions of the dentist in the face of different dilemmas that may arise during their clinical activity. This research seeks to describe the level of knowledge and application of bioethical principles in oral health professionals. A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research method was used, by means of a structured survey, applied to postgraduate students in the dental area. The data were processed and analyzed in a descriptive and correlational manner. The results obtained highlighted the presence of five levels of knowledge of bioethical principles. Among these, in the groups with the highest percentage of knowledge about bioethical principles, the application of the principle of non-maleficence in their clinical practice was highlighted. Lack of knowledge about the theory was revealed: many are unaware of the basic bioethical principles of the correct action of the oral health professional. However, a growing change has been demonstrated with regard to the application of these principles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relevance of basic sciences as predictors of students’ academic performance has great impact in healthcare education.Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the predictive role of dental students’ academic performance in the subject of Morphology on high credit subjects in the pre clinical and clinical phase, and on real time of graduation. A retrospective correlational study was conducted with 672dental students (2002 to 2012) at the Universidad de los Andes, Chile.The variables studied were sex, year of admission and graduation, and academic performance in the subjects of Morphology (first year), Pre clinics(third year), and Integral Adult Clinics of fourth and fifth year. Data analysis were conducted by means of Pearson’s correlation tests and structural equation modeling. Morphology academic performance was significantly associated, and predicted the academic performance in Adult Pre clinical(r=0.25 p<.01, b=0.250 p<.001), fourth-year Adult Clinic (r=0.20 p<.01,b=0.198 p<.001) and fifth-year Adult Clinic (r=0.14 p<.01, b=0.138p<.001), and was negatively with real graduation time. The model analyzed explained a 68.5 % variance in real time of the graduation. The results of this study contribute to strengthening the available evidence in relation to the relevance of students’ performance in the subject of Morphology for their development and training throughout the dental curriculum, as well as justifying the timely identification and support for those students experiencing difficulties in this subject.

Background: Predoctoral education requires student dedication to meet academic demands and learning goals with quality. University professors often complain that students do not regulate their learning strategies and are unable to act autonomously in their professional training. Purpose: To analyze the use of self-regulated learning in dental students at a Colombian public university. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out using Lindner et al.'s Self-Regulatory Learning Inventory, 4.01 version. The inventory includes four training areas (executive, cognitive, motivation, and environment control) among fourth semester dental students (sophomores) of University of Cartagena in Colombia. Results: The average use of self-regulated learning by the dental students was low. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the score in the scale (60-119) leads to a deficient level of learning (p<0,05). Conclusions: Marked weaknesses in the group of students intervened were identified who, in some cases, did not meet adequate self-regulated learning levels for their current year of study.

The aims of this paper were to explore and contrast the 2-factor model proposed for the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), to calculate the internal consistency of its 14 items and 2 factors, and to estimate the level of perceived stress in the population of 350 members of Nuevo Leon College of Dentists. Questions about socio-demographic information and professional practice and the PSS-14 were applied to a probability sample of 140 participants. The number of factors was two following Horn's criterion. The 2-factor model (positively and negatively keyed items), with item 12 shared by both factors, showed a close fit to the data. The internal consistency of the 14 items was high (α = .79). The distribution of the PSS-14 total score was positively skewed. It is concluded that the PSS-14 is valid in this population, and the average of perceived stress is low. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In trait -anxiety scale, the averages were 43,92 ± 7,83 for males and 46,97 ± 6.4 for women. According to sex, in anxiety-state and trait -anxiety scales significant differences (p> 0,05) were observed. Conclusions. Anxiety appears as a frequent phenomenon in the V cycle students of the Faculty of Dentistry at the Universidad de San Martin de Porres - North Branch. The relationship of these levels with sex was not significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to calculate associated costs with dental studies (ACDS) in a public university. Methods: we performed a cross-sectional study using a costing system on a random sample of 376 dental students enrolled at any semester in a public university. To calculate ACDS (Mexican pesos of 2009-1), we used a questionnaire divided into eight sections. Sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables, housing costs, food, transportation, instruments and equipment, as well as remunerations associated with patient care along 16 weeks of classes in each semester were included. We used linear regression. Results: the average of ACDS was of 18,357.54 ± 12,746.81 Mexican pesos. The largest percentage of ACDS (30.2%) was for clinical instruments (5,537.66 ± 6,260.50). Students also spent funds in paying to patients for their time during care delivered (2,402.11 ± 4,796.50). Associated variables (p < 0.001) with the ACDS were having completed at least one clinical course or one theoretical-practical course, living within the state or out of state (compared to students who live in the city where dental studies take place), and being enrolled in the more advanced dental studies. Conclusions: the results indicate that a significant percentage of the cost to students (13.1%) is related with clinical care delivery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
