Abstract Background This study was to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) regarding brushing teeth with powered toothbrush among doctors. Methods This population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted by using a self-administered questionnaire regarding powered toothbrush based on the KAB model. Multistage cluster sampling was used to enrol doctors. Results A total of 403 doctors were included in the study. The proportion of “need to be strengthen” on knowledge, attitude and behaviors was 68.0 percent, 71.0 percent and 80.4 percent, respectively. The usage rate of powered toothbrush was low in doctors (12.2 percent). Doctors from dental department had higher knowledge (p<0.001) and attitude (p<0.01) scores than the doctors from non-dental department. Doctors from the district with a higher gross regional product had higher knowledge (p<0.01) and behaviors score (p<0.001), and doctors from higher-level hospitals had higher knowledge (p<0.001). Using powered toothpaste was positively associated with the knowledge (p<0.001), attitude (p<0.05) and behaviors (p<0.001) scores. Conclusions The majority of doctors’ knowledge, attitude and behaviors regarding powered toothbrush were needed to be strengthened. Specific health education is needed to improve the knowledge, attitude and behaviors regarding powered toothbrush.

And Behavior

Background: This study investigated the feasibility to conduct an educational webinar for improving COVID-19-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in Munich. Methods: A before-after experiment was conducted in Turkish-speaking family physician offices. Turkish-speaking participants (n=245) of a cross-sectional study evaluating COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors were invited to an educational webinar. COVID-19 vaccination intention and knowledge (25 true/false items) were the primary outcomes. Also, attitudes and behaviors to COVID-19 vaccination were asked using Likert scales (min. 1, max. 5). Results: Knowledge (22.8±1.5 vs. 23.1±1.5) and behavior (4.1±0.4 vs. 4.2±0.3) scores did not change after the intervention, nor changed the intention to be vaccinated (p>0.05). However, there was a significant increase in the attitude scores from mean 3.9±0.5 to 4.2±0.5 (p=0.009). The webinar received high scores (mean 4.7±0.2). Conclusion: We suggest educational interventions involving key persons from the Turkish-speaking community as peer trainers to change the negative attitudes towards vaccination.

AbstractThe paper aims at exploring determinants of the university students' intentions to stay within their university region. At this, we presume that students' career choice motivations are related to their professional intentions, which again, along with demographic characteristics, affect their migration decision. Our analysis is based on a cross-sectional study of 2,353 students from three different higher education institutions, two of them located in Germany and one in Namibia. Results indicate that in Germany migration matters because a considerable proportion of students intend to leave the university region after graduation. At this, we found that the students' geographical provenance exerts the most significant effect on the intention to stay. Moreover, certain professional intentions were directly and some career choice motivations were indirectly linked with the intention to remain at the university location. We present several conclusions and implications.
