Introduction: Logbooks are considered one of the effective clinical evaluation methods. This study endeavored to evaluate the perspective of dental students at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences regarding the fixed prosthesis logbook.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, all sixth-year dental students who took the fixed prosthesis course two in the academic year 2022-2023 (54 students) were included and provided with logbooks. At the end of the semester, the students were given a questionnaire to evaluate their perspective regarding the logbook. Analysis was done through independent t-tests, and Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation statistical tests (p< 0.05).
Results: In the field of necessity, 53 students (98.1 percent); in the field of design, 39 students (72.2 percent); in the field of quality, 54 students (100 percent), and in total, 53 students (98.1 percent) agreed to use the log book. The average score of prosthetics in male students (16.96±1.04) was lower than that of female students (17.76±1.33; p=0.021). The average grade was not different between male (16.80±1.20) and female students (17.01±1.11; P=0.648). There was no difference between male and female students when comparing different fields and the total score (p>0.05). The students’ grade point average (GPA) had a correlation with the scores of necessities, quality, and total, but the values were not significant.
Conclusion: The findings indicated a positive consensus among the students regarding the use of logbook, reflecting their satisfaction, and positive perspective. This suggests that the logbook is an effective tool to enhance students' performance and satisfaction. Besides, the potential for designing logbooks for other departments and engaging students and teachers in their evaluation could further enhance the quality of education.
