Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the level of patients’ compliance with recall / follow-up visits attending the dental Centre of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH). Methods: This study adopted a descriptive retrospective study of case notes retrieved from the medical records department of the dental Centre, University of Benin Teaching Hospital. The period under study covers 2019 to 2021. The data was collected by means of 1232 questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentages. Results: The result showed that the participants in the age bracket of 18-40 years of age (277) complied better to recall visit in comparison with the study age distributions which are 41-65 years (218) and age above 65 years (188). As per the influence of gender on compliance of patients with post-extraction recall visits, it was observed that the male participants (288) responded better to the recall visits compared to the female participants (251). The Relationship between distance away from the hospital and compliance of patients with post-extraction recall visits was also evaluated, and it was observed that the patients closer to the hospital within 5km (442) complied better to recall revisit in comparison to the participants who were within 10km (224) from the hospital as well as the participants that were 10km & above (17). Finally, the influence of interval between procedure and recall visit was also evaluated, and the result revealed that the participants that were given 7 days of recall revisit (663) complied better compared with the participants who were given 14days duration for recall revisit (478). Conclusion: The data from this study highlighted the possible need for a paradigm shift in patient-doctor interphase especially as it concerns recall visits. Compliance to recall appointment by the patients depends largely on age, gender, distance from hospital and interval between procedures and is mainly responsible for the noncompliance of patients to recall visit.
贝宁大学教学医院(UBTH)牙科中心对拔牙后患者依从性的评估:一项为期两年的回顾性研究
目的:本研究旨在评估贝宁大学教学医院(UBTH)牙科中心患者对召回/随访的依从性。方法:本研究采用描述性回顾性研究,检索贝宁大学教学医院牙科中心病历部的病例记录。研究期间为2019年至2021年。采用1232份问卷收集数据,采用频率、百分比等描述性统计方法进行分析。结果:与41 ~ 65岁(218人)和65岁以上(188人)的研究年龄分布相比,18 ~ 40岁(277人)的参与者对回忆来访的依从性更好。根据性别对患者拔牙后回忆访视依从性的影响,观察到男性参与者(288人)对回忆访视的反应优于女性参与者(251人)。我们还评估了离医院的距离与患者提取后回忆访视依从性之间的关系,发现距离医院5公里(442)以内的患者比距离医院10公里(224)以内的参与者以及距离医院10公里及以上的参与者(17)对回忆访视的依从性更好。最后,我们还评估了程序和回忆访视间隔的影响,结果显示,7天的回忆访视的参与者(663)比14天的回忆访视的参与者(478)更符合要求。结论:本研究的数据强调了可能需要在病人-医生间期进行范式转变,特别是在涉及回忆访问时。患者对召回预约的依从性在很大程度上取决于年龄、性别、与医院的距离和手术间隔,这是患者不遵守召回就诊的主要原因。
