Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Students are the guiding light of our generation. Educating and nurturing them to achieve their best goal is the job of a facilitator. Awareness of iatrogenic injuries among students helps them to deal with unfortunate incidences and teach them to be better and compassionate doctor. A Questionnaire survey was conducted among 310 students comprising of final year students, interns and post graduates of a dental college in Piparia, Vadodara, Gujarat which consisted of 14 closed ended questions. The responses of students were documented and descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was done. All of the students gave correct answers for term the ‘iatrogenic’ and more than half of the students agreed that the patient should be reported about any unwanted injury caused by them so that its severity and complications can be managed. Most of the injuries that were seen were due to the usage of burs; about 50% of students substantiated that skill, experience and up to date knowledge can prevent iatrogenic injury. The role of iatrogenic injuries when taught and addressed among the students can lead to a better dental treatment outcome and increases the confidence among students.
