Parental Smoking and Smoking Status of Japanese Dental Hygiene Students: A Pilot Survey at a Dental Hygiene School in Japan
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2008Co-Authors: Toru Naito, Koichi Miyaki, Mariko Naito, Masahiro Yoneda, Nao Suzuki, Takao Hirofuji, Takeo NakayamaAbstract:This study aimed to determine the frequency of smoking and to explore factors associated with the smoking habits of female students at a Dental Hygiene school in Japan. Questionnaires regarding cigarette smoking were given to 168 female students. The response rate was 97.6%. The prevalence of smoking, including current and occasional smokers, was 20.3%. Among family members, only the smoking status of their mother significantly influenced the smoking status of the students. The odds ratio for smoking among Dental Hygiene students whose mothers were smokers in comparison to students whose mothers were not smokers was 5.1 (95% confidence interval 2.1-12.2, p=0.000). Decision tree analysis showed that the smoking habit of Dental Hygiene students was correlated with their mothers' smoking history, as well as the smoking status of junior high school teachers, the smoking habits of close friends and a history of participating in a smoking prevention program when in elementary school. The increased smoking rate of young females, including Dental hygienists, is a growing problem in Japan. The smoking statuses of Dental Hygiene students might be closely influenced by their mothers' smoking status.

Advocacy for the Provision of Dental Hygiene Services Within the Hospital Setting: Development of a Dental Hygiene Student Rotation.
The journal of evidence-based dental practice, 2016Co-Authors: Jacqueline A. Juhl, Lynn StedmanAbstract:Educational preparation of Dental Hygiene students for hospital-based practice, and advocacy efforts promote inclusion of Dental hygienists within hospital-based interdisciplinary health care teams. Although the value of attending to the oral care needs of patients in critical care units has been recognized, the potential impact of optimal oral health care for the general hospital population is now gaining attention. This article describes a hospital-based educational experience for Dental Hygiene students and provides advocacy strategies for inclusion of Dental hygienists within the hospital interdisciplinary team. The Dental hygienist authors, both educators committed to evidence-based oral health care and the profession of Dental Hygiene, studied hospital health care and recognized a critical void in oral health care provision within that setting. They collaboratively developed and implemented a hospital-based rotation within the curriculum of a Dental Hygiene educational program and used advocacy skills to encourage hospital administrators to include a Dental Hygiene presence within hospital-based care teams. Hospital-based Dental Hygiene practice, as part of interprofessional health care delivery, has the potential to improve patient well-being, shorten hospital stays, and provide fiscal savings for patients, institutions, and third party payers. Advocacy efforts can promote Dental hygienists as members of hospital-based health care teams. Further research is needed to document: (1) patient outcomes resulting from optimal oral care provision in hospitals; (2) best ways to prepare Dental hygienists for career opportunities within hospitals and other similar health care settings; and (3) most effective advocacy strategies to promote inclusion of Dental hygienists within care teams.

Professionalization, gender and female-dominated professions: Dental Hygiene in Ontario.
The Canadian review of sociology and anthropology. La Revue canadienne de sociologie et d'anthropologie, 2008Co-Authors: Tracey L. AdamsAbstract:This paper explores the influence of gender and feminism on the professional projects of female-dominated professions, through a case study of Dental Hygiene in Ontario. Full professional status has eluded many female-dominated professions, including Dental Hygiene. Historically, Dental Hygiene was defined as work for women, to be performed strictly under the control of male dentists. In recent years, Dental Hygiene has pursued a professional project and struggled for greater independence from dentistry. Ideas about gender and, particularly, feminism have been central to their professional project.

inter professional conflict and professionalization dentistry and Dental Hygiene in ontario
Social Science & Medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Tracey L. AdamsAbstract:In Ontario, Canada, an inter-professional struggle is occurring between the professions of dentistry and Dental Hygiene over who should be the primary oral health care provider for the public; that is, when someone seeks Dental treatment, who should they see first? This conflict has been spurred by recent changes in the regulation of health care professions, changing markets for professional services, and the professional projects pursued by Dental Hygiene and dentistry. An examination of the history and dimensions of dentistry-Dental Hygiene relations, reveals the extent to which professionalization both provokes and is shaped by inter-professional conflict.
