In "reason of affecting the humanity quality education curriculum learning", the graduates' major choices were "lack of qualified teachers" and "school not giving too much attention," the undergraduates' major choice was "heavy course assignments", there were statistical differences between undergraduates and graduates(P<0.05). Respondents wished that the humanity quality education curriculum teaching methods are lectures(57.1%) and practice(50.0%), and the method and assessment of the course are practice examination(33.5%). Career planning and employment guidance of dental medicine"(63.7%), "dental health policy and regulations"(62.7%) and "dental health service management"(56.6%) were the most desirable courses to learn among all the respondents.The survey 2 of the first part surveyed the dental graduates(70 students) of the fourth and fifth class in Xi'an Jiaotong University and the graduates(78 students) with the same grades in the Fourth Military Medical University.

The expected way of study, course teaching and assessment were similar with the results in the first part.The second part investigated a total of 150 dentists in Xi'an and Guangzhou areas. 94.0% of them thought professional humanities quality education being important for career growth, 77.3% of them thought the proportion of the professional humanities quality education in university course should be increased.

Conclusion:Dental university students, dentists, patients and the public all considered that the dental humanity quality education curriculum being very important, but the current situation is lack of enough emphasis on the part of courses still, the varieties of the courses is limited and the force-feeding education teaching method is dominated still. Therefore, in order to improve the dental students learning interests and rich the professional humanistic quality of dentists, we should increase dental humanism quality curriculum appropriately and we should change the teaching method. According to the arrangement of professional courses, we should adjust the class time of professional humanity quality education course, in order to make a sequential curriculum. Moreover, we should enhance dental health propaganda and education and optimize dental treatment procedure, and improve the laws and regulations. The media should advocate medical science and knowledge, and they should build the medical treatment a positive model, and this will definitely contribute its share to build a harmonious doctor-patient relationship. |
