Özet:

 In recent years, the increase in diseases transmitted through blood and other body fluids has raised awareness about the implementation of sterilization and disinfection in the field of dentistry. The aim of this study is to examine the current practices and sensitivities of dental students regarding infection control, sterilization, and disinfection in the Oral, Dental, and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic. The participating students were asked to answer a questionnaire consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions related to sterilization and disinfection. Questions prepared in the form of a Likert scale were classified with a 5-point scale and scored as strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, strongly agree 5. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, Shapiro-Wilk, Mann Whitney U and chi-square test. The study group consisted of a total of 150 students, with 71 47.3 being 4th and 79 52.7 being 5th grade students. The average age of the group was found to be 23.28  1.12 years. When comparing the importance of handwashing when working with gloves and the disinfection of rotary instruments for infection control between 4th and 5th grade dentistry students, the results were significantly in favor of the 5th grade dentistry students p0.05. The average scores of the responses regarding sterilization and disinfection were 73.91 for the 4th-grade students and 76.93 for the 5th-grade students. When the scores were compared between the two grades, no statistically significant difference was found p0.05. It has been revealed that dentistry students need to be careful regarding sterilization and disinfection.

 Son yıllarda kan ve diğer vücut sıvıları ile bulaşan hastalıklardaki artış, diş hekimliği alanında sterilizasyon ve dezenfeksiyon uygulanmasına yönelik farkındalığı artırmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin Ağız, Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi Polikliniğinde enfeksiyon kontrolü, sterilizasyon ve dezenfeksiyon konusundaki mevcut uygulamaları ve bu konulara duyarlılıklarını incelemektir. Ankete katılan diş hekimliği öğrencilerine sterilizasyon, dezenfeksiyon ve enfeksiyon ile ilgili çoktan seçmeli 20 sorudan oluşan soruları cevaplamaları istenmiştir. Likert ölçeği şeklinde hazırlanan sorular 5 puanlı skala ile sınıflandırılmış olup kesinlikle katılmıyorum 1, katılmıyorum 2, kararsızım 3, katılıyorum 4, kesinlikle katılıyorum 5 seklinde puanlanmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metotlar, Shapiro-Wilk, Mann Whitney U ve ki kare testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma grubunu 71 47.3 4. sınıf ve 79 52.7 5. sınıf öğrencisi olmak üzere toplam 150 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Grubun yaş ortalaması 23.28  1.12 yıl olarak bulundu. Eldivenle çalışırken el yıkamanın önemi ve döner aletlerin dezenfekte edilmesinin enfeksiyon açısından kontrolü 4. ve 5. Arasında değerlendirildiğinde 5. Sınıflar lehine anlamlı bulundu p0.05. 4.ve 5. sınıfların sterilizasyon ve dezenfeksiyon konusunda verdiği cevapların puanlarının toplam ortalaması sırasıyla, 73.91 ve 76.93 olarak bulundu. Sorular üzerinden toplanan puanlar sınıflar arasında karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmadı p0.05. Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin sterilizasyon ve dezenfeksiyonla ilgili dikkatli davranmaları gerektiğini ortaya çıkarmıştır.
