| Description |
The following Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction thesis examines the implementation of Intraprofessional education (intraPE) on dentists and dental hygienists. |
| Abstract |
Dentists and dental hygienists strive to provide the highest standards of patient care, but hierarchical identities often lead to poor collaborative care. The silo model, present in most dental and dental hygiene programs, can lead dentists and dental hygienists to misunderstand one another's role and potential when providing patient care. As a result, dentists and dental hygienists struggle to communicate with, understand, and respect one another. Intraprofessional education (intraPE) has been researched and presented means overcome these hierarchy identities and promote teamwork in the dental field. This study focused on the intraPE experiences, understanding of the scope of practice of one another, and attitudes toward intraprofessional collaboration (intraPC) of ‘Class of 2022' dental and dental hygiene students attending programs in Utah. It was hypothesized that students with intraPE experiences would have more positive attitudes toward intraPC. A Qualtrics survey was distributed to 200 dental and dental hygiene students. Fourteen of twenty-five participants reported participating in a variety of intraPE activities and their scope of practice task distribution leaned more toward dental hygienist-centered than expected. Narrowed down to twenty-two participants, t-test results found there were no significant differences in the attitudes toward intraPC between the participants that had reported participation in intraPE activities as compared to those that reported no participation in intraPE. Due to a small sample size, findings from this study have low statistical power, but provide insight into how this survey may be modified to further research on intraPE in dental education. |
