Credited with a long history of providing preventive care, dentists are challenged by increasing demands from better educated consumers interested in improving their health and caring for themselves. The task of administering patient education services, identifying patients at risk, targeting specific behaviors for change, and managing costs is the subject of this case study. The Self-Care Motivation Model described here, is used to develop a patient education/smoking cessation/lifestyle change program for a patient with numerous dental and general health disturbances. Time and cost saving methods for administering such total patient care are discussed. Suggestions for reframing the context of dental patient education and health behavior change initiatives to include general healthy human development competencies are provided.
长期以来，牙医一直致力于提供预防性护理，但如今，受过良好教育、希望改善自身健康并关爱自己的消费者对他们的需求不断增加，这给他们带来了挑战。本案例研究的主题是管理患者教育服务、识别有风险的患者、针对特定行为进行改变以及控制成本的任务。这里描述的自我护理动机模型，用于为一位患有多种牙齿和全身健康问题的患者制定患者教育/戒烟/生活方式改变计划。文中还讨论了实施这种全面患者护理的节省时间和成本的方法。同时提供了一些建议，以重新构建牙科患者教育和健康行为改变倡议的背景，使其包括一般健康人类发展能力。
