The purpose of this study was to survey program directors and students of advanced pediatric dentistry training programs in the United States on sedation issues.
Surveys were sent to the target audiences. Questions contained response categories ranging from fill-in-the-blank, Likert-order scale style, and categorical. The surveys resided on SurveyMonkey. A cover letter emphasizing such issues as anonymity of responses was sent via e-mail to participants using the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry listserv. The responses were downloaded and subsequently analyzed using SPSS statistical software.
Data were obtained from 49% of program directors and 17% of students. Experience with different routes of sedative administration varied from "none" (even with the oral route) to "significant." Oral midazolam was the most-often used route and sedative. Restraint was reportedly used by the majority of programs.
Strategies should be developed to strengthen consistency of competencies in sedation practices across academic training programs.
本研究旨在就镇静问题对美国高级儿童牙科培训项目的项目主任和学生进行调查。
向目标受众发放调查问卷。问题包含填空、李克特量表式和分类等多种回答类别。调查问卷通过SurveyMonkey平台发放。一封强调回复匿名性等问题的附函通过电子邮件发送给使用美国儿童牙科学会邮件列表的参与者。回复被下载下来，随后使用SPSS统计软件进行分析。
获得了49%的项目主任和17%的学生的回复。不同镇静给药途径的经验从“无”（即使是口服途径）到“丰富”不等。口服咪达唑仑是最常用的途径和镇静剂。据报道，大多数项目都使用约束措施。
应制定策略，以加强各学术培训项目在镇静实践能力方面的一致性。
