Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The questions directed to dentists in the prepared questionnaire are distributed as follows:
* Demographic information (6 questions),
* Physical conditions of the unit to be served (5 questions),
* Applications for employees (2 questions),
* Applications for appointment and patient admission (4 questions),
* Study procedure and treatment protocols (10 questions),
* Attitudes towards COVID-19 (8 questions) Existing questionnaire questions were examined by 5 dentists for clarity and finalized.
A pilot study was conducted on a group of 20 dentists before the prepared questionnaire started to work. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by retesting this group of 20 people 10 days later. 20 people included in the pilot study were evaluated within the scope of the study.
Survey questions were shared online. According to the data of the Turkish Dental Association, survey questions were sent to the registered dentists in the chambers.
Before the survey questions appear on the screen, individuals will be informed of the privacy policy for data collection and consent to volunteering is asked. If they answered "no" to the survey, the survey was closed automatically. A second reminder email was sent to those who did not respond to the questionnaire four days later. A reminder e-mail was sent to those who did not respond to the questionnaire, six days after the start date.
