This paper explores the understanding and practice of patient-centred care (PCC) within dentistry. The aim of the research was to explore the nature of PCC, how PCC is taught and how it is practiced within a dental setting.
The results of a qualitative, interview-based study of dental professionals working across clinical and teaching positions within a dental school are presented.
Results suggest that a shared understanding of PCC revolves round a basic sense of humanity ('being nice to patients'), giving information that is judged, by the clinician, to be in the patient's best interest and 'allowing' patient choice from a set of choices made available to patients by the clinicians themselves.
This research suggests that significant work is needed if dentists are going to conform to the General Dental Council guidelines on patient-centred practice and a series of recommendations are made to this end.
本文探讨牙科领域以患者为中心的护理(PCC)的理解与实践。该研究的目的是探究PCC的本质、在牙科学中PCC是如何教授的以及在牙科环境中是如何实践的。
呈现了一项基于访谈的定性研究结果,该研究针对在一所牙科学院担任临床和教学职位的牙科专业人员。
结果表明,对PCC的共同理解围绕着一种基本的人文意识(“对患者友善”)、提供临床医生认为符合患者最大利益的信息以及“允许”患者从临床医生自己提供给患者的一系列选择中进行选择。
这项研究表明,如果牙医要符合英国牙科总会关于以患者为中心实践的指导方针,就需要开展大量工作,并为此提出了一系列建议。
