Résumé
Studies in health professional students have shown the students' perception of instructor caring behaviors had a positive impact on student behaviors and their anxiety. Health professional students are under high emotional and academic demands during entry-level programs which can lead to higher anxiety. The purpose of this study was to measure the relationship between worry or anxiety and dental hygiene students' perceptions of faculty caring behaviors. Cross-sectional survey research was conducted with a convenience sample of dental hygiene students (n = 355) in the United States using a web-based survey. The validated instruments Nursing Students' Perceptions of Instructor Caring (NSPIC) and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) were used for data collection. The NSPIC contains five subscales including instilling confidence through caring (CTC), supportive learning climate, appreciation of life's meanings, control versus flexibility (F), and respectful sharing (RS). Data analysis included descriptive, correlation, and multiple linear regression. The completion rate was 66% (n = 235). Findings showed the NSPIC subscale, CTC had a statistically significantly higher median score than other NSPIC sub-scales (p < 0001). The NSPIC subscale RS had the second-highest median score. The results of the PSWQ showed that 48% of participants were in the chronic worrier category. Regression analysis showed CTC was a significant predictor of worry (p < 0.001) and a one-unit increase in CTC resulted in a 0.21 decrease in the PSWQ score. Our findings suggested instilling CTC behaviors was the most significant faculty caring behavior and was associated with lower levels of student worry. The results from this study may aid in identifying and developing effective caring behaviors for faculty to support students during stressful dental and allied dental curricula.
