Objectives: This study aimed to analyze a cross-cultural adaptation of the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) for Indonesian dentists.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 general dentists in health services in Jakarta, Indonesia. The first step included cultural adaptation and translation, which was followed by the development of the tested questionnaire through expert agreement and by validity and reliability analysis using Spearman correlation coefficient, Cronbach α, and interclass correlation coefficient. The SAQ consisted of 30 items and 6 dimensions (safety climate, teamwork climate, job satisfaction, stress recognition, perception of management, and working conditions).Respondents were members of the Indonesian Dental Association who voluntarily filled out a Google-based questionnaire from September to October 2020.Results: A total of 250 respondents with a response rate of 16.4% demonstrated a total Cronbach α value of 0.897, whereas the value per item ranged from 0.890 to 0.905, which suggested an acceptable and good to very good internal consistency. The interclass correlation coefficient value varied from 0.840 to 1.000, which meant almost perfect agreement. The correlation coefficient of 30 questions items resulted in a total SAQ score ranging from 0.422 to 0.699 (moderate to strong correlation) and between 6 dimensions to total SAQ score ranging from 0.648 to 0.772 (strong correlation). Conclusions:The Indonesian version of the SAQ exhibited good validity and very good reliability and potential to be used for evaluating dentists' patient safety culture in Indonesia.

The aim of this literature review was to study the underlying mechanisms of the association between periodontal disease and prostate cancer. Methods: This study was literature review study, pubmed searching was used to find scientific article about association of periodontal disease and prostate cancer. Results: Direct correlation between periodontal disease and prostrate cancer is still unclear. It was hyphotesized that microorganisms involved in chronic periodontitis may directly induce mutations in the tumor-suppresor genes and proto-oncogenes or alter the signalling pathways that in turn stimulates cancer growth. Conclusion: Periodontal disease may associate to prostate cancer by mutation induction in tumor-suppresor genes.

Patient satisfaction  is a comparison between the patient’s perception of the service received and their expectation before getting the service. The level of patient satisfaction is very important because it could be a measure of the success of a health care facility. The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on patient satisfaction due to changes in the service flow. This study aimed to determine the level of patient satisfaction with dental services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an observational descriptive study with a cross sectional research design. The study was conducted by distributing the patient satisfaction questionnaire to 100 patients who received dental treatment at Puskesmas (Public Health Center) Kampung Sawah, Kecamatan Tanjung Karang Timur, Bandar Lampung. The results showed that 60.1% of patients had high level of satisfaction; 20.08% had moderate level of satisfaction; and 19.32% had low level of satisfaction. In conclusion, the majority of patients who received dental treatment at Puskesmas Kampung Sawah had high level of satisfaction of the services provided.Keywords: patient satisfaction; COVID-19; patient satisfaction questionnaire; dental services Abstrak: Kepuasan pasien merupakan suatu perbandingan antara persepsi pasien terhadap pelayanan yang diterima dengan harapan sebelum mendapatkan pelayanan.
