Service-Learning has emerged as a pedagogical strategy that blends community engagement with academic goals and has been associated with improved attitudes toward community service among health-professions students; however, evidence from Latin America, and from Dental Education in Chile in particular, remains scarce. This study assessed dental students\u2019 attitudes toward community service before and after participation in Service-Learning activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A pre\u2013post survey study was conducted between August and December 2025 among undergraduate dental students at a Chilean University who took part in community-based educational activities. Community service attitudes were measured using a Spanish adaptation of the Community Service Attitudes Scale (CSAS), a 10-subscale Likert-type instrument administered online three weeks before and three weeks after the intervention. Internal consistency was good (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1\u2009=\u20090.885 pre-test; 0.957 post-test). Of 162 students who completed the pre-test, 77 were matched to post-test responses and included in the analysis. Changes across the 10 subscales were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA, and effect sizes were calculated as Hedges\u2019 g.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Most participants were female (64%) and had no prior community service experience (69%). Significant changes were observed in three subscales: norms increased from pre- to post-intervention (LS Mean 4.44 vs. 4.56;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.035), empathy showed the largest change (3.18 vs. 4.34;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and perceived costs decreased (4.21 vs. 3.44;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The remaining seven subscales showed no significant change. Subgroup analyses showed that the reduction in perceived costs was significantly smaller among junior students than among intermediate and senior students (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participation in Service-Learning was associated with improvements in empathy and social norms and with a reduction in perceived barriers to community engagement among dental students. These findings support the early incorporation of community-based experiences into the Dental Curriculum. This study adds evidence from a Latin American setting where such data are scarce, highlighting the global relevance of Service-Learning for developing socially responsible dental professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-026-10109-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T01:04:18Z","timestamp":1786496658000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dental students\u2019 attitudes toward community service: a pre\u2013post survey study of a service-learning experience in Chile"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9793-2864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina","family":"Leiva Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0390-0018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe Rodrigo","family":"Aguilera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7107-095X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ver\u00f3nica","family":"Aravena-Castillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2323-6620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viviana","family":"Hidalgo V.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3637-4437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Far\u00edas Orellana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3578-7125","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriana","family":"Stuardo-Parada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"10109_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8633389","DOI":"10.1155\/ijod\/8633389","volume":"2026","author":"T Arunratanothai","year":"2026","unstructured":"Arunratanothai T, Chuenjitwongsa S, Tavedhikul K, Sumrejkanchanakij P, Fakhruddin KS, Samaranayake L, et al.
