To identify barriers on the use of diagnostic microbiology facilities in general dental practice.
A cross-sectional survey using a postal questionnaire.
Primary/secondary care interface between the diagnostic oral microbiology laboratory, University of Glasgow Dental Hospital and School, Glasgow and dental practitioners within the surrounding health boards, 1998.
All GDPs (797) within Argyll and Clyde, Ayrshire and Arran, Lanarkshire and Greater Glasgow Health Boards.
The responses were expressed as both absolute and relative frequencies.
Responses were received from 430 (55%). The most frequent reason for failure to use the service was lack of information, with more than half of the respondents claiming to be unaware of the facility. Lack of request forms and sampling equipment were also viewed as barriers to using the service.
The laboratory is failing to successfully communicate its role in addressing the growing burden of antibiotic resistance in the community and must be more proactive in encouraging appropriate use and increasing accessibility of the service to GDPs.
确定普通牙科实践中使用诊断微生物学设施的障碍。
采用邮寄问卷进行横断面调查。
1998年，格拉斯哥大学牙科学院和医院的诊断口腔微生物学实验室与周边健康委员会内的牙科从业者之间的初级/二级医疗接口。
阿盖尔和克莱德、艾尔郡和阿伦、拉纳克郡以及大格拉斯哥健康委员会内的所有全科牙医（GDPs，797人）。
回答以绝对频率和相对频率表示。
收到430份回复（55%）。未使用该服务的最常见原因是信息缺乏，超过一半的受访者称不知道该设施。缺乏申请表和采样设备也被视为使用该服务的障碍。
该实验室未能成功传达其在应对社区抗生素耐药性日益增加的负担方面的作用，必须更积极主动地鼓励适当使用该服务，并提高GDPs对该服务的可及性。
