Summary
Indonesian dental candidate teachers need more training and support for evidence-based practice (EBP). Many are willing to teach colleagues, indicating potential for a national faculty development program in EBP.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for optimal dental patient outcomes.
- Implementation of EBP in low-resource countries, including Indonesia, faces challenges.
- Understanding the needs of Indonesian dental faculty is essential for effective EBP training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the profile of candidate teachers in Indonesian dental schools.
- To evaluate their attitudes towards EBP and self-reported evidence use.
- To identify learning needs and willingness to support peer education for EBP.
Main Methods:
- A validated online questionnaire was emailed to 165 candidate teachers across 29 Indonesian dental schools in June 2024.
- Data were collected from 125 respondents (75.8% response rate).
- Analysis included descriptive statistics of teacher profiles, EBP attitudes, usage, and learning needs.
Main Results:
- Most respondents had prior EBP training, but 16% had no exposure.
- Candidate teachers reported moderately positive attitudes towards EBP.
- Significant needs for further training (71.2%) and teaching materials (58.8%) were identified, with 14% willing to share resources.
Conclusions:
- Indonesian dental candidate teachers require enhanced training and material support for EBP.
- Positive attitudes towards EBP exist, alongside a willingness to collaborate.
- Findings support the development of a tailored, nation-wide faculty development program for EBP.

2.4K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...
