“…Nurses account for a large proportion of the health care workforce and are often present at the point of care or supervising direct caregivers [30,31]. Therefore, oral health care education and training are essential for graduating nurses to improve the oral and systemic health of older people [32][33][34][35][36]. Such education and practice provided with an interprofessional approach enables nursing students to contribute, learn and work effectively with other professionals involved in oral health [29].…”

Background: The recognised relationship between oral health and general health, the rapidly increasing older population worldwide, and changes in the type of oral health care older people require have raised concerns for policymakers and health professionals. Nurses play a leading role in holistic and interprofessional care that supports health and ageing. It is essential to understand their preparation for providing oral health care. Objective: To synthesise the evidence on nursing students' attitudes towards, and knowledge of, oral healthcare, with a view to determining whether oral health education should be incorporated in nursing education. Methods: Data sources: Three electronic databases-PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL. Study eligibility criteria, participants and interventions: Original studies addressing the research objective, written in English, published between 2008 and 2019, including students and educators in undergraduate nursing programs as participants, and conducted in Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development countries. Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Data extracted from identified studies were thematically analysed, and quality assessment was done using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results: From a pool of 567 articles, 11 met the eligibility criteria. Findings documented five important themes: 1.) nursing students' limited oral health knowledge; 2.) their varying attitudes towards providing oral health care; 3.) the need for further oral health education in nursing curricula; 4.) available learning resources to promote oral health; and 5.) the value of an interprofessional education approach to promote oral health care in nursing programs. Limitations: The identified studies recruited small samples, used self-report questionnaires and were conducted primarily in the United States. Conclusions: The adoption of an interprofessional education approach with a focus on providing effective oral health care, particularly for older people, needs to be integrated into regular nursing education, and practice. This may increase the interest and skills of nursing students in providing oral health care. However, more rigorous studies are required to confirm this. Nursing graduates skilled in providing oral health care and interprofessional practice have the potential to improve the oral and general health of older people.

“…25 Previous studies reported that early clinical exposure or the early exposure of PBL was effective education methods to improve their understanding and motivate their professional practice. 26,27 Our goals are to develop effective curricula to provide oral healthcare education to oral health and nursing students from early stages and encourage them to practise oral health care in the future. There is no curriculum for nursing oral health care from early stages in Japan, although dental schools and dental hygiene schools have some lectures regarding oral health care in the first year.…”

“…As a result of nursing education being relocated to universities a perception developed that nurse education had become increasingly detached and isolated from practice and was too heavily weighted in theory. Hoyles et al. (2000) contended that the notion of less practical input was poorly considered and the pendulum had swung too far.…”
