RESUMO

Purpose: In recent years, C,anada has seen the development of new educational pathways to baccalaureate education for dental hygienists. Research has demonstrated that degree education strengthens dental hygienists' cognitive and practice abilities and increases career opportunities. However, the 2021 Canadian Dental Hygienists Association (CDHA) Job Market and Employment Survey reported that only 27% of respondents held a baccalaureate degree. The current study was the first to explore levels of interest in and barriers to pursuing degree education among Canadian diploma-holding dental hygienists. Methods: This qualitative explorative study utilized purposeful maximum variation sampling to select Canadian dental hygienists across 10 provinces and 1 territory for 3 e-focus groups. Selected participants (N = 17) were CDHA members who held a dental hygiene diploma as their highest educational credential. E-focus groups were thematically analysed for barriers using Saldaña's descriptive and in vivo coding. Results: All participants expressed an interest in pursuing further education at some point during their career. Reported barriers to doing so were family commitments, financial restrictions, accessibility, limited employer support, unfamiliarity with eligibility criteria, unfamiliarity with existing programs, stress/anxiety over returning to school, and unfamiliarity with the benefits of earning a degree. Conclusions: The qualitative research findings supplemented answer options for a subsequent national online research survey distributed to all CDHA members; results of that survey are not included in this article. National and provincial dental hygiene associations and educational institutions can use the study findings to develop strategies to reduce barriers and raise awareness of degree education among Canadian dental hygienists.


But: Le Canada constate un mouvement grandissant vers l'élaboration de nouvelles voies d'accès à l'obtention d'un baccalauréat pour les hygiénistes dentaires. La recherche a démontré que les études universitaires renforcent les capacités cognitives et de pratique des hygiénistes dentaires et augmente leurs possibilités de carrière. Toutefois, le Sondage sur le marché du travail et de l'emploi mené en 2021 par l'Association canadienne des hygiénistes dentaires (ACHD) a révélé que seulement 27 % des répondants détenaient un baccalauréat. La présente étude a été la première à examiner les niveaux d'intérêt et les obstacles liés la poursuite d'études universitaires chez les hygiénistes dentaires du Canada titulaires d'un diplôme. Méthodes: Cette étude qualitative exploratoire a utilisé une sélection maximale d'échantillons variés pour sélectionner par choix raisonné des hygiénistes dentaires dans 10 provinces et un territoire du Canada pour 3 groupes de discussion en ligne. Les participants sélectionnés (N = 17) étaient des membres de l'ACHD qui détenaient un diplôme en hygiène dentaire comme diplôme d'études le plus élevé. Les groupes de discussion en ligne ont été analysés par thème pour déterminer les obstacles à l'aide du codage descriptif et in vivo de Saldaña. Résultats: Tous les participants ont exprimé leur intérêt à poursuivre leurs études à un moment ou à un autre de leur carrière. Les obstacles signalés étaient les engagements familiaux, les restrictions financières, l'accessibilité, le soutien limité de l'employeur, la méconnaissance de l'admissibilité, la méconnaissance des programmes existants, le stress et l'anxiété liés au retour aux études et la méconnaissance des avantages de l'obtention d'un diplôme. Conclusion: Les résultats de la recherche qualitative ont enrichi les options de réponse pour un sondage national de recherche en ligne subséquent qui serait distribué à tous les membres de l'ACHD; les résultats de ce sondage ne sont pas inclus dans le présent article. Les associations nationales et provinciales d'hygiène dentaire et les établissements d'enseignement peuvent utiliser les résultats de cette étude pour élaborer des stratégies visant à réduire les obstacles et à sensibiliser les hygiénistes dentaires canadiens aux études universitaires.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: A growing body of research is exploring why applicants select to enrol into a 4-year dental hygiene degree in Canada when the entry-to-practice credential remains a diploma. The aims of this study were to investigate first-year entry-to-practice students' motivating influences for choosing the dental hygiene profession and enrolling in a baccalaureate program. METHODS: Between 2013 and 2018, first-year students in the University of British Columbia's Bachelor of Dental Science program completed orientation surveys. A secondary data analysis was conducted on a total of 127 orientation surveys from a cumulative first-year population over a 5-year period. 159 students participated in the surveys for an 80% response rate. Survey questions were open-ended. Saldaña's approach to coding was used to analyse the descriptive data for emerging themes. RESULTS: The primary reasons for choosing dental hygiene as a profession included personal desire (65%) which involved students' desire to help others, as well as past experience (32%) relating to personal, goal or external experiences. Two prominent themes for choosing a dental hygiene degree emerged and included expanding career opportunities outside of clinical practice (82%) and broadening and deepening one's knowledge base (34%). CONCLUSIONS: The results provide insight about the factors that influence prospective dental hygiene students to pursue a baccalaureate credential that is presently beyond the entry-to-practice requirements for the dental hygiene profession in Canada.
