Objective To understand the attitudes and behaviour of staff in dental practice towards adopting a reduce, reuse, recycle approach to resource management.Design A qualitative interview study.Setting The site for the study was a mixed NHS/private dental practice in North Devon.Subjects All disciplines from one dental practice.Methods (1) A practice scoping exercise - provided context and identified an interview sample. (2) Qualitative interviews with practice staff - explored knowledge and attitudes about sustainability and identified opportunities and limitations for the sustainable management of resources.Results The main issue raised by staff was the amount of waste generated. There was a strong desire to implement changes, but deep concerns were expressed about the impact of challenging current guidance on infection control.Conclusions Primary care dentistry provides both surgical and non-surgical care to more than half the UK population. Therefore, lessons learned from general dental practice can encourage positive change. More research is needed across dental practice in order to generalise these findings.
目的 了解牙科诊所工作人员对采用减少、再利用、回收资源管理方法的态度和行为。
设计 一项定性访谈研究。
地点 研究地点是北德文郡一家国民保健服务体系（NHS）与私立混合的牙科诊所。
研究对象 来自一家牙科诊所的所有学科人员。
方法 （1）诊所范围界定活动——提供背景信息并确定访谈样本。（2）对诊所工作人员进行定性访谈——探讨关于可持续性的知识和态度，并确定资源可持续管理的机会和限制。
结果 工作人员提出的主要问题是产生的废物量。大家强烈希望实施变革，但对挑战当前感染控制指南的影响表达了深切担忧。
结论 基层医疗牙科为超过一半的英国人口提供手术和非手术护理。因此，从普通牙科诊所吸取的经验教训可鼓励积极变革。为了推广这些发现，需要在整个牙科诊所开展更多研究。
