Self-efficacy of LSMU and VU dental students in endodontic treatment

I am Rugilė Juškaitė, a 4th year student at the Faculty of Dentistry of LSMU. I am doing my master's thesis on the topic "Self-efficacy of LSMU and VU dental students in endodontic treatment". The aim of the study is to assess the correlation of self-confidence of dental students with the acquired endodontic knowledge and the number of treated canals. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary. Your confidentiality will be ensured: the questionnaire used for the survey is anonymous and the structured data will be used in the Master's thesis for scientific purposes. By completing the survey you agree to participate in my research. If you have any questions about the survey or any questions you may have during the survey, you can contact me by email: [email protected]

If you have chosen one answer option that suits you (unless otherwise indicated), please mark it with an X.

Thank you for your time and answers!

The results of this questionnaire are not made public
