Abstract

Some social factors, such as the advancement of dental technology and the increase of in-home care, have recently changed the two-year vocational schools and junior colleges for dental hygienists to three-year vocational schools and junior colleges, or to university departments. Therefore, it seems necessary to construct new clinical training methods. The Preventive Dentistry Department in Hiroshima University Hospital has given clinical training to many students of dental hygiene from some schools, and received the last students from a two-year vocational school in the 2005 academic year. Thereafter, the university hospital has been expected to train more educated students and produce better dental hygienists. Thus, it seems urgently necessary to evaluate he present training methods, before the preparation of new methods. This study investigated the self-evaluation of clinical skills by students from a two-year vocational school for dental hygienists, before and after the clinical training at the reventive Dentistry Department in Hiroshima University Hospital in the 2005 academic year. Self-evaluation can be considered as one of the methods of evaluation of clinical training, since better clinical training should produce an improvement in self-evaluation. As a result, the level of self-evaluation of most clinical skills after clinical training was significantly higher than that before training. Therefore, it was suggested that the students were conscious of the effectiveness of the clinical training. The results of this study might be useful as a standard to evaluate new training methods.
