The purposes of this dental study were to identify, among non-dental health care providers and administrators, (1) those reasons assessed to be most persuasive in adopting selected dental preventive practices, (2) barriers perceived to be present for their clients to obtain dental services, and (3) practices which would make dental services more available to their clients. A nine-item dental care/attitude survey was completed by 82% (n = 68) of the health care and social services providers/administrators attending one of the United Way of East Central Iowa group meetings. The results of this survey indicated that, for these respondents, the most persuasive reasons for adopting preventive dental practice behaviors were based on susceptibility to disease and social and esthetic benefits. Further, the results of this survey showed that female respondents gave significantly higher scores than males to the importance of social benefits (self-worth and employment marketability), health benefits, and the importance that authority figures (dentists and physicians) placed on the behavior. Fifty-one percent of the respondents knew of patients who had problems obtaining dental services. The main reasons given for clients' access problems were the lack of money, the lack of insurance, and the lack of transportation.
这项牙科研究的目的是,在非牙科医疗保健提供者和管理人员中,确定:(1)在采用选定的牙科预防措施方面被评估为最具说服力的原因;(2)其客户在获得牙科服务时被认为存在的障碍;(3)能使客户更容易获得牙科服务的措施。爱荷华州中东部联合劝募协会小组会议之一的82%(n = 68)的医疗保健和社会服务提供者/管理人员完成了一项包含九个项目的牙科护理/态度调查。这项调查的结果表明,对于这些受访者来说,采用预防性牙科行为最具说服力的原因是基于对疾病的易感性以及社会和美学益处。此外,这项调查的结果显示,女性受访者对社会益处(自我价值和就业适销性)、健康益处以及权威人士(牙医和医生)对该行为的重视程度的评分明显高于男性。51%的受访者知道有患者在获得牙科服务方面存在问题。客户获取服务问题的主要原因是缺钱、缺乏保险和交通不便。
