Factors associated with interest of dental sugeon in the teaching od dental hygienist technician

Abstract

This study aims to verify the factors associated to the teaching interest of the dentist active on the Public Health System, for the Dental Hygienist Technician formation, on the Metropolitan Region of the Grande Vitoria (MRGV). Cross-secctional study with amostral representative of 217 dentists that work in Public Health System in RMGV-ES was conducted through structured interviews. Questions about: personal identification, formation, trajectory, qualification professional and researcher and teacher activities was collected. The data were statistically processed and submitted to chi-square tests. It was verified that the factors positively associated to the teaching interest are: the professional performance on the Vila Velha, Vitoria and Viana (p=0.032), the professional age less then 45 years (p=0.050), the specialization on the Public Health and/or Education areas (p=0.035), prior or current experience of exercise of the teaching practice in classroom (p<0.001) and in stage fields (p=0.050), the experience in search (p=0.001). Whereas the specialization on the Odontological Clinic areas established a negative association with the teaching interest (p=0.038). From the results, we could understand the context sorrounding the interest of the dentists on the Dental Hygienist Technician formation. The verification of these factors allow the comprehension of the difficulties that permeate formation of human resources in coletive buccal health, on the technical level, for the team work on the Sistema Unico de Saude.
