“…For example, male undergraduate students seem to have stronger negative attitudes towards AIDS patients attitudes to AIDS, HIV and sexual behaviour. During the 1990s, growing interest has been shown in the attitudes of (Lester 1989) and male university students show more negative attitudes towards the issue of AIDS (Sheehan health care personnel and students (Atchison et al 1990, Froman et al 1992, Stierborg 1992, Bell et al 1990), while extreme punitive attitudes towards high risk groups were found in a small minority consisting pre-et al 1993, Evans et al 1993, Falk-Kessler et al 1994, Kunzel & Sadowsky 1995 (Table 1).…”

This paper provides a review relating to the attitudes of health care professionals, students and the general public to HIV/AIDS and people with HIV/AIDS. This is done by describing the literature on attitudes to HIV and AIDS in three fields of research: medicine/nursing, psychology and the social sciences. In addition, we look at the countries in which research has been conducted in these issues and at the variety of tools and methodological approaches used and at the participants studied. The review shows that, during the 1990s, the research interest in issues related to HIV/AIDS attitudes has rapidly increased. Most of the work on HIV and AIDS has been done in the United States, with the main focus on empirical research using questionnaires. The attention has mostly been on students and their attitudes to AIDS/HIV and sexual behaviour, but increasing interest has also been shown in the attitudes of health care personnel and students. As it seems that attitudes have been highly resistant to change, more consideration needs to be given to finding appropriate ways of educating the general public, students and health care professionals. A comprehensive analysis is also needed of the different tools used in measuring attitudes and in international comparisons of the attitudes of adolescents, health care professionals and students towards AIDS and AIDS patients.

“…In our questionnaire, the ownership of a practice was not determined; however, it may be related to that female dentists were less likely than male dentists to own the practice as shown in other studies. [6][7][8] Instead, female dentists were more likely to be employed in a large practice with several dental staff. Relatively more female dentists were currently finishing or had completed a specialty program in conservative dentistry.…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9] Furthermore, several specified studies based on dental work models have mentioned a gender difference in terms of occupational relationships, professional attitudes, academic contributions, treatment decisions, etc. 4,5,7,8,[10][11][12][13] However, it has been rarely studied on gender difference related to dental operation per se. One study showed that female dentists reportedly applied topical anesthesia more often than male dentists before needle injection.…”

“…The operative procedures may be further influenced by practitioners'degree of attentiveness, caring, and other personal characteristics. 7) We selected direct resin composite restoration for a representative operative model and chose relevant variables for specification. The aim of this study was to assess whether there is an independent effect of gender difference in direct resin composite restoration under consideration of background confounding factors of practitioners which might affect.…”

This study aimed to assess whether the gender of the dental practitioner affects operative techniques in class 2 and class 5 resin composite restorations. In 2008, a nationwide survey was given to Korean dentists. Total 12,193 e-mails were distributed, 2,632 were opened by recipients, and 840 responses were collected. Of the respondents, 78.9% were male and 21.1% were female. The gender distribution in the age groups between respondents and the total population did not differ (p > 0.05). A chi-square test was used to compare technical differences between female and male dentists. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between gender and operative techniques in resin composite restoration. For class 2 resin composite restoration, female dentists were 1.87 times more likely than male dentists to do multiple incremental fillings (four layers or more) and 2.72 times more likely than males to spend 30 minutes or more for the treatment (p < 0.05). For class 5 resin composite restoration, female dentists were 2.69 times more likely than their male counterparts to use a cavity base or liner, 1.83 times more likely to do multiple incremental fillings (four layers or more) and 1.63 times more likely to spend 20 minutes or more for the procedure (p < 0.05). The gender factor was influential to individual operative techniques in restorative treatment. [J Kor Acad Cons Dent 35(2):116-124, 2010]

“…One area in which there has been some effort to identify gender-related attitudes and orientations as they relate to patient management issues involves clinician willingness to treat HIV-infected patients (PHIV+) (5)(6)(7)(8). Both published (9) and unpublished secondary analyses of this data set show gender-based differences in orientation toward treating PHIV+ among private general practice dentists (GPDs) in New York City (NYC).…”
