Objectives: This study examines dental hygiene students’ knowledge of and attitudes and behavior toward elderly individuals. As the population of elderly people increases, the need for dental services for this group increases as well. Methods: A frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and one-way ANOVA were conducted using SPSS 25.0. Results: Participants had various levels of knowledge and differing attitudes and behavior toward elderly patients; subjects who were interested in older people had more positive attitudes toward the elderly, as did younger, less experienced participants and those who work with older people. Conclusions: Future studies should use additional measurement tools and include different groups of participants to improve understanding of dental hygiene students’ attitudes towards the elderly.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to measure dental hygiene students’ self-control, self-confidence, self-regulation, and task difficulty preferences for online learning; it also seeks to identify the factors that influence dental hygiene students’ self-control. Methods: An independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze differences in the self-control, self-confidence, self-regulation, and task difficulty preference of dental hygiene students currently enrolled in two universities in Busan. A Scheffe test was conducted, and a multiple linear regression analysis of the factors impacting self-control was conducted as well. Results: The results show that confidence and self-regulatory efficacy significantly influence participants’ self-control. Conclusions: Higher self-confidence and self-regulation are associated with greater self-control
