نوع مقاله : مقاله‌های پژوهشی

چکیده

مقدمه: سسرطان‌زایی حفره‌ی دهان، فرایندی پیچیده است، تشخیص و درمان زودهنگام ضایعات سرطانی و پیش‌سرطانی، مهم‌ترین عامل در کاهش مرگ و میر می‌باشد. هدف از مطالعه‌ی حاضر، بررسی میزان آگاهی دانشجویان دندان‌پزشکی سال آخر دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد اصفهان (خوراسگان) در سال 1400-1401 در مورد سبب‌شناسی و اقدامات درمانی سرطان سلول‌های سنگفرشی حفره‌ی دهانی بود.
مواد و روش‌ها: مطالعه‌ی حاضر به روش توصیفی- تحلیلی و به شیوه‌ی سرشماری انجام شد. پرسش‌نامه‌ی محقق ساز به صورت حضوری توزیع و تکمیل گردید؛ تجزیه و تحلیل دادها در دو بخش توصیفی و استنباطی انجام شد. اطلاعات جمع‌آوری شده با استفاده از آزمون ناپارامتری Mann–Whitney و ضریب همبستگی  Spearmanدر سطح خطای 0/05درصد مورد بررسی قرار گرفت (0/05 p value ≤).
یافته‌ها: در مطالعه‌ی حاضر حدود 6/60 درصد دانشجویان ترم 11 و حدود 39/4 درصد ترم 12 بودند و میانگین سنی دانشجویان 25/73 سال بود. طبق بررسی دادهای جمع‌آوری شده، میانگین نمره‌ی آگاهی 5/74 از 10 بود. تفاوت معنی‌داری بین میانگین آگاهی دانشجویان ترم 11 و 12 در حیطه‌ی سبب‌شناسی وجود نداشت (0/147 = p value) در حالی که بین میانگین آگاهی دانشجویان ترم 11 و 12 در حیطه‌ی پیش‌آگهی و درمان، تفاوت معنی‌دار وجود داشت (0/001 = p value)، همچنین تفاوت معنی‌داری بین میانگین آگاهی دانشجویان (در دو حیطه‌ی سبب‌شناسی و درمان) با سنین مختلف وجود نداشت (0/245 = p value و 0/425 = p value).
نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج مطالعه‌ی حاضر نشان داد، سطح دانش و آگاهی دانشجویان در رابطه با سرطان سلول‌های سنگفرشی دهان تا حد مطلوب و رضایت‌بخش فاصله دارد.

The Level of Knowledge of Final Year Dental Students About the Etiology and Therapeutic Measures of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Lesions

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Carcinogenesis of the oral cavity is a complex process and oral cancer is one of the 10 most common cancers worldwide. Oral squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 90% of oral cancers, the most important risk factors of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are using tobacco and drinking alcohol. Early detection of cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions and timely referral is the most important factor in reducing mortality associated with OSCC, the purpose of this study is to investigate the level of knowledge of final year dental students at Isfahan Islamic Azad University (Khorasgan) during 1400-1401 regarding the etiology, Diagnosis and treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in a descriptive and analytical method and in a census method, and a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among the students in person; Data analysis was done in two descriptive and inferential sections. The collected data were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and the Spearman correlation coefficient at the error level of 0.05% (p value ≤ 0.05).
Results: In this study, about 60.6% of students were in the 11th semester and about 39.4% were in the 12th semester with average age of 25.73 years. The average awareness score was approximately average (score 5.74 out of 10). There was no significant difference between the average knowledge of the 11th and 12th semester students regarding etiology, while 12th semester students showed significantly higher knowledge in terms of prognosis and treatment compared to 11th semester students. There was no significant difference in the average knowledge between students of different ages in the fields of etiology and treatment.
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the level of knowledge and awareness among students regarding OSCC lesions is far from satisfactory.
