“…PPE must be available in the workplace according to the risks that may occur in each job. 24 Infection control that can be carried out by radiographers is radiography room infection control, radiology staff infection control, and infection control in each dental radiography technique. 2,10 This was one of the weaknesses in this study because the infection control aspects listed in the questionnaire were incomplete.…”

Introduction: One of the sectors that has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic is dentistry. There is a significant chance that an intraoral radiographic examination will facilitate the spread of the COVID-19. One of the radiographers' efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus is to carry out infection control. The application of infection control performed by radiographers is influenced by many factors. This study aimed to analyze differences in the application of infection control in intraoral radiographic examinations during the COVID-19 pandemic in various healthcare facilities. Methods: This study conducted was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of 13 statement items. Thirty intraoral dental radiographers who were employed in radiology departments at various healthcare facilities participated in the study as respondents. The research data that had been collected was then tested using the One Way Anova test to find out the differences in the application of infection control by radiographers from each healthcare facility. Results: The results of the study indicated that the significance value was 0.314 (p>0.05), which means that there was no significant difference in the score category for each healthcare facility. The lack of complete respondents from all different kinds of existing healthcare facilities was still a weakness of this study. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no discernible difference in how each healthcare facility implemented infection control during intraoral radiographic examinations.KeywordCOVID-19, healthcare facilities, infection control, intraoral radiographs, radiographers

Background: Hundreds of millions of nosocomial infection cases are estimated yearly worldwide. Nosocomial infections significantly lead to death and financial losses in the healthcare system. There is a need for infection mitigation, one of them is using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The importance of using PPE is still not supported by its compliance. Aim and Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitude toward PPE use among professional dental students at RSGM Universitas Jember. Materials and Method: The research method uses quantitative observational analytics cross-sectionally with questionnaires given through google forms and checklists filled out by researchers during observation. Variable involvement consists of knowledge, attitude, and practice in using PPE. It took 132 professional dental students as the respondents whose selection was done by stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate using Microsoft Excel and the chi-square test on SPSS. Results: 81.8% of respondents had a good level of knowledge of PPE use, 81.1% of respondents had a positive attitude towards using PPE, and there were 22% of respondents who were not compliant using PPE. Respondents who did not comply with PPE came from dental treatment-producing aerosols. There was a relationship between knowledge and PPE use (p-value 0.002), but no relationship was found between attitude and PPE use (p-value 0.792). Conclusion: There was a relationship between knowledge and PPE use but no relationship between attitude and PPE use.
