The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge regarding tooth avulsion and dental first aid response among Croatian students of the Faculty of Education. A cross-sectional study was conducted among students. Participants (N = 235) were female with an average age of 21.9 ± 2.7 years. The questionnaire contained 10 close-ended questions with two to eleven possible answers. Every participant chose one correct answer. Statistical significance was determined using a Chi-square test. Majority of participants had never received any kind of information on management of a knocked-out tooth. Questions in the nature of tooth injuries, a knocked-out tooth, tooth replantation and whether the knocked-out tooth should be placed back were answered confirmatively by 40.43%, 83.40%, 57.02% and 62.55% of participants, respectively. The questionnaire showed that 18.78% of participants were aware that replantation should be performed within 30 min. The appropriate cleaning and transport medium was chosen by 40.85% and 35.31% of participants, respectively. A nearby dentist would be visited by 66.38% of students. Only 8.08% of participants provided a correct answer to all of the knowledge-based questions. The “I do not know” answer was chosen by 18.30% of participants whenever it was offered. This indicates that the majority (89.78%) were not aware of the fact that the procedure they chose would be inappropriate. The current study confirmed that future primary school teachers have a lack of knowledge for immediate response to tooth avulsion, leaving small chances for a successful prognosis of tooth replantation.
Uvod: Anksiolitici su jedni od najčešće propisivanih lijekova te su veoma popularni zbog svoje široke terapijske primjene. Cilj: Cilj je ispitati učestalost korištenja anksiolitika kod studenata medicine.Metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 222 studenata od 1. do 6. godine Studija medicine na Medicinskom fakultetu Osijek rješavajući anonimni upitnik. Rezultati: Od 222 studenata 19,5 % koristilo je benzodiazepin. Djevojke ih koriste značajno češće od muškaraca. Najčešće indikacije za korištenje su osjećaj tjeskobe i anksioznost. Najčešće korišten benzodiazepin je alprazolam. Najviše ih koriste studenti 6. godine medicine, dok ih studenti 1. godine ne koriste.Razlozi za korištenje razlikuju se prema godinama studiranja; glavni razlog korištenja na 3. godini je nadolazeći ispit, dok su na 5. i 6. godini razlozi uzimanja benzodiazepina obiteljski i ljubavni problemi. Jednom u više mjeseci benzodiazepine koristi 59,1 % studenata, dok ih 5 % koristi svaki dan, 20,9 % studenata koristi i smatra korisnima biljne preparate za smirenje. Pomoć stručnjaka za svoje probleme potražilo je 32,6 % studenata koji su koristili benzodiazepine, dok ih je 41,9 % o tome razmišljalo. Zaključci: Unatoč tome što su studenti medicine izloženi velikom stresu te anksiolitike koriste češće nego opća populacija, njihova je uporaba racionalna i kontrolirana. / Introduction: Anxiolytics are one of the most prescribed drugs due to their wide therapeutic use. Aims: Our goal is to examine the frequency of anxiolytics use in medical students. Materials and methods: 222 medical students from 1st to 6th year at the Faculty of Medicine in Osijek participated in the research by solving an anonymous questionnaire. Results: Of the 222 students, 19.5% used anxiolytics. Women use them significantly more than men. The most common indication for use is anxiety. The most used benzodiazepine is alprazolam. They are mostly used by 6th-year medical students. Reasons for benzodiazepine use vary depending on the year of study; 3rd-year students use benzodiazepines due to upcoming exams, while for the 5th and 6th year students, family and love problems are more
