Abstract [sv]

Kunskaper i oral hälsa har betydelse för att sjuksköterskor på ett tidigt stadium ska kunna upptäcka olika sjukdomstillstånd i munhålan. Bristande kunskap i oral hälsa har rapporterats vara ett problem inom vården och därför behövs det ökad utbildning inom oral hälsa hos sjuksköterskor. Syftet med studien var att jämföra kunskaper inom oral hälsa mellan sjuksköterskestudenter i årskurs 1 och årskurs 3. Undersökningen skedde med användning av en strukturerad enkät som delades ut av studiens författare till sjuksköterskestudenter som gick årskurs 1 (n= 95) och årskurs 3 (n= 57) vid Högskolan Kristianstad. Studenterna ansåg sig ha bra teoretiska och praktiska kunskaper medan det i resultatet av kunskapsfrågorna framkom att det fanns brister. Resultatet visade också att statistiskt signifikanta skillnader fanns i kunskap mellan studenterna i årskurs 1 och årskurs 3 på frågor om svampinfektion, muntorrhet, protes och bedömning av munstatus. I denna studie var kunskaperna låga i flera områden inom oral hälsa hos sjuksköterskestudenterna. Ökad utbildning är önskvärt för att vårdtagare ska få de åtgärder som de är i behov av i munhålan.

Abstract [en]

Knowledge of oral health is important so registered nurses, at an early stage, can detect various diseases in the oral cavity. Lack of knowledge in oral health has been reported among registered nurses. The purpose of this study was to compare the knowledge in oral health between nursing students in grade 1 and grade 3. The study was based on a questionnaire with fixed response alternatives that were distributed by the author to nursing students in grade 1 and grade 3 at Kristianstad University. The students claimed to have good theoretical and practical knowledge while the survey revealed that there were gaps in knowledge. The results showed also that there was a statistically significant difference in knowledge between students in grade 1 and grade 3 concerning candidiasis, xerostomia, prosthesis and oral health assessments. In this study the knowledge is low in several areas within oral health among the nursing students. Increased education is desirable to ensure adequate oral health procedures among patients in hospital or nursing homes.
