To access and synthesize the existing literature about the effects of compassionate care on oral health outcomes.
A scoping review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to identify articles from six electronic databases: MEDLINE via the PubMed interface, Embase, Age-Line, Scopus, CINAHL, and Cochrane.
Among 30 studies reporting on compassion in dental treatment, only two reported on the effects of compassionate care on oral health outcomes. One study is cross-sectional and evaluated oral health outcomes in children, while the other is a cohort study evaluating oral health outcomes in older adults. Each study used different tools to assess oral health outcomes. However, both studies used the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE) to assess empathy among dental students, dentists, or dental hygienists.
The retrieved studies used different methodologies and had discrepant results. More clinical studies investigating the effects of compassionate care on the outcomes of dental treatment are necessary.
检索并综合现有关于关怀护理对口腔健康结局影响的文献。
按照系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南进行范围综述，以从六个电子数据库中识别文章：通过PubMed界面的MEDLINE、Embase、Age-Line、Scopus、CINAHL和Cochrane。
在30项报告牙科治疗中关怀情况的研究中，只有两项报告了关怀护理对口腔健康结局的影响。一项研究是横断面研究，评估儿童的口腔健康结局，而另一项是队列研究，评估老年人的口腔健康结局。每项研究使用不同的工具来评估口腔健康结局。然而，两项研究均使用杰斐逊医生共情量表（JSPE）来评估牙科学生、牙医或口腔保健员的共情情况。
检索到的研究使用了不同的方法，结果也不一致。有必要开展更多临床研究来调查关怀护理对牙科治疗结局的影响。
