Summary
Close-contact teaching and learning activities (CCTLs) effectively utilize patient non-attendance time for dental students. These skills-based tasks enhance learning, provide direct feedback, and maximize clinical attachment potential.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Clinical Skills Training
Background:
- Limited clinical exposure in undergraduate dental programs necessitates effective use of student time.
- Patient non-attendance presents a challenge, requiring alternative learning opportunities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate close-contact teaching and learning activities (CCTLs) for dental students.
- To enhance the utilization of clinical time, particularly during patient non-attendance.
Main Methods:
- CCTLs are short, skills-based tasks with structured assessment criteria.
- Activities are performed in the clinical environment using available resources and staff.
- CCTLs are used formatively to provide direct observation and feedback.
Main Results:
- CCTLs are beneficial for early-stage dental students, improving skills and understanding of protocols.
- High student engagement and positive reception were observed.
- Activities facilitated familiarity with direct observation, peer collaboration, and feedback.
Conclusions:
- CCTLs provide valuable direct feedback opportunities, potentially exceeding those with patient presence.
- These activities empower students in their learning, fostering lifelong professional development.
- CCTLs effectively complement clinical attachments, maximizing educational potential.

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...
