The purpose of this study was to identify factors that may influence current American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) members' definitions of a successful oral sedation.
Surveys were electronically mailed to all AAPD members with registered e-mail addresses, and printed surveys were sent via postal mail to all other members. The survey included: (1) items on demographic variables; and (2) questions on sedation methods and definition of success.
The following response rates were recorded: (1) electronic survey = 26%; (2) printed = 45%; and (3) diplomate = 53%. The majority of members (55%) characterized their patient management style as being authoritarian. Sixty-seven percent agreed that the need to employ restraints when using sedation does not necessarily indicate that sedation is inadequate or unacceptable. When asked if such a sedation outcome could be defined as being successful, however, the agreement dropped to 47%. When defined as optimal, the respondents' agreement was further reduced to 36%.
The practitioner's management style and use of restraint significantly influence how a dentist defines a successful sedation.
本研究旨在确定可能影响美国儿科学会（AAPD）现任成员对成功口腔镇静定义的因素。
调查问卷通过电子邮件发送给所有有注册电子邮件地址的AAPD成员，并通过邮政邮件发送给所有其他成员。调查问卷包括：（1）人口统计学变量项目；（2）关于镇静方法和成功定义的问题。
记录到以下回复率：（1）电子调查=26%；（2）纸质调查=45%；（3）专科医师=53%。大多数成员（55%）将他们的患者管理方式描述为专制型。67%的成员同意在使用镇静时需要使用约束措施并不一定表明镇静不足或不可接受。然而，当被问及这样的镇静结果是否可以被定义为成功时，同意的比例降至47%。当被定义为最佳时，受访者的同意比例进一步降至36%。
从业者的管理方式和约束措施的使用显著影响牙医对成功镇静的定义。
