Abstract

Background: The quality of health services is a very important thing in the delivery of health services in order to show the degree of perfection of health services. Good service quality can lead to a sense of satisfaction for patients. Measuring the quality of service in a health facility can be done by assessing the level of patient satisfaction, where the patient is an object that directly enjoys the services provided. At the time when the COVID-19 pandemic caused disruption to public access to services, every health facility had to improve the quality of service to prevent transmission which could save the lives of patients and dentists. Purpose: This study aims to describe the level of patient satisfaction with the quality of service during a pandemic covid-19 at the dental polyclinic at the Lepo-Lepo Kendari Health Center. Research method: This type of research is descriptive in nature with a total sample of 50 people (total sample) who are visitors or patients at the dental polyclinic at the Lepo-Lepo Public Health Center. Results: the results of this study showed that 48% of patients were satisfied on the assurance dimension, 54% of patients were satisfied on the effectiveness dimension of health services, 56% of patients were satisfied on the dimensions of health services (responsiveness), 60% of patients were satisfied on the convenience dimension (physical appearance) and 58% of patients were satisfied on the human relations dimension (empathy). Conclusion: Overall from the five dimensions, the level of patient satisfaction with the quality of service at the dental polyclinic at the Lepo-Lepo Public Health Center is in the satisfied category.

Abstract

Background: Little dentists were selected elementary school students who become UKGS cadres to play an active role in implementing some health improvement efforts in their schools. UKGS activities run less than optimally due to the lack of involvement of small doctor cadres and very minimal knowledge about dental and oral health owned by small doctor cadres. The prevalence of dental caries in Indonesia is still high, namely 92,6% for the age group 5-9 years and 73,4% for the age group of 10-14 years. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out various innovations and breakthroughs to prevent caries, one of which is the small dentist training module innovation. The use of modules in health education has a positive impact on increasing knowledge. Modules were printed teaching materials that are designed to be studied independently by learning participants without being accompanied by a teacher. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of using the training module on the knowledge level of small dentist cadres. Methods: This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with Pre and Post with Control Group Design with a total sample of 30 people from each group. Results: The results of the influence analysis before and after training using the cadre training module using the Paired T-Test obtained ?-value = 0.000 (? <0.05), meaning that there is a significant change in the average knowledge score before and after training using the module small dentist cadre training. The difference in the value of knowledge after cadre training between the intervention group and the control group resulted in ?-value = 0.043 (?<0.05), which means that there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group.

Abstract

Introduction: For a long time, the prevention of cross-contamination in dentistry has mainly been concentrated in the operating room. Activity related to laboratory work, a potential source of pathogen transmission, is therefore often overlooked. In addition, the practice of prosthodontics often gives the impression that aseptic measures cannot be rigorously applied. Several factors account for this situation. Designing a prosthesis involves handling a certain number of potentially contaminated and heat-sensitive objects (prostheses, impressions, wax tubes, occlusion bites, etc.). The items transferred between the dental office and the dental laboratory as well as the prosthetic instruments constitute the main chain of cross contamination in prosthodontics. Thus, an evaluation of the dentists and prosthetists’ compliance with regard to their asepsis through a cross-sectional study was necessary. Methods: two anonymous questionnaires were distributed. The first was among the dentists and the second to dental prosthetists in the public and private sectors.  Results: From the 302 questionnaires distributed, only 220 were filled-in. 78% of the dentists and 37% of the prosthetists know the disinfection protocol of reusable instrumentation. 80.3% of the dentists and 74.1% of the prosthetists disinfect their prosthetic work but with varying percentages according to the group of items (impressions, prosthesis, etc.). 71.5% of the practitioners and 18.5% of the technicians disinfect their laboratory instruments systematically. However, 45% of the dentists and 54% of the prosthetists think they are not exposed to infections. Discussion: The results showed an insufficient level of knowledge and compliance to ensure asepsis of the prosthetic work both in the public and private sectors, contributing to a relatively high level of exposure to infections compared to a Canadian study. Conclusion: Given the insufficient compliance and in order to remedy these deficiencies, a simple decontamination protocol is suggested. Improving awareness and providing continuous training are then required.
