| مستخلص: | Purpose/objectives: This research aimed to identify factors that affect dental students' attitudes toward participation in rural clinical outplacements (RCOP) in Australia, and to suggest strategies that will increase students' desire to attend RCOP in the future. Methods: Dental students from the nine dental schools in Australia were invited to an online survey on their willingness to participate in an RCOP and the factors that influence this willingness. These factors were grouped into themes of education, personal and health, social, financial, and information-related. Results: The study had an estimated response rate of 10% with 202 responses. More than two-thirds (68%) of students were willing to participate in an RCOP. Students who grew up in a rural area were significantly more likely to be willing to attend an RCOP, compared to those from urban settings. Attitudes toward the anticipated educational experience of RCOP were positive, while factors related to finances and pre-existing information were of concern to students. Educational, personal/health-related, and social factors had significant impacts on participants' willingness to attend RCOP. Conclusion: Overall, despite students holding negative opinions on certain social and financial factors, their positive attitudes toward other factors outweighed these. Universities should aim to further promote the educational benefits of RCOP to improve students' attitudes prior to attending RCOP. In-depth qualitative analysis is required to explore students' concerns regarding RCOP and longitudinal research is warranted to monitor students' attitudes toward RCOP and rural work over time.
