Dentist experience influence knowledge and attitude towards HIV patient in West Jakarta, Indonesia

Objectives: Nowadays, there is an increasing population of HIV patient in Indonesia. Prevention of HIV correlated disease is very important to reduce the numbers. Dentist’s knowledge and attitude are two main components that may play a role in reducing and preventing the severity of HIV infection. Recently, no available data about dentist experience, knowledge, and attitude towards HIV patient in West Jakarta.
To evaluate the dentist experience based on knowledge and attitude toward HIV patient in West Jakarta.
Methods: The crossectional descriptive design study was conducted on 218 private practice dentist in West Jakarta. The knowledge and attitude were assessed by a validated questionnaire. A structured questionnaire was filled in under informed consent, consist of 20 questions to evaluate the dentist’s knowledge, and 16 questions for attitude. Data were analyzed by logistic regression.
Results: Good knowledge about HIV patient was found on 127 (58.25%) respondents and good attitude was 124 (56.88%) respondents. Data analysis showed that only duration of dental practice (P<.00) less than 1 year was an independent risk factor for good knowledge and a good attitude (P<.00; P<.05) respectively, towards HIV patient. Age, gender, history with HIV person and history of body contact of HIV patient were not associated with knowledge and attitude (P>.05). Assuming a fresh graduate dentist (less than 1 year) has still retentive knowledge which impacts on their attitude towards HIV patient in the dental practice setting. Continuing dental education should be introduced regularly on an HIV perspective.
Conclusions: Dentist experience less than 1-year practice has more good knowledge and attitude towards HIV patient in West Jakarta.
