Impact of a Case‐Based Sleep Apnoea Education on the Knowledge, Attitudes and Confidence of Dental Hygiene Students—A Multicentre Intervention Study
The case based educational intervention increased OSA knowledge and improved attitudes and confidence among dental hygiene students. The results also determined that the OSAKA questionnaire can be used in a setting with dental hygiene students to provide an overview of their knowledge, attitudes and confidence toward OSA. Current sleep medicine education in dental hygiene programmes is limited, suggesting the need for enhanced and sustained educational interventions to address this knowledge gap.
