Breaking the silence: confidence and barriers in raising concerns among undergraduate dental students– “a national study”
Notwithstanding the limitations of the current study, the results show that participants were marginally confident in raising concerns related to patient safety and several barriers to raising concerns were also identified. These findings underscore the need for dental schools to focus on enhancing students' confidence and empowering them to report concerns when warranted. A transparent and supportive culture can contribute to improvements in patient safety and enhancing professionalism of dental students.
