Abstract

Objective: With good communication and information retention being key aspects of valid consent, this study aimed to assess adult patient information recall immediately after an orthodontic consultation.

Materials and methods: Adults interested in bracket-based or clear aligners were invited to take part at a single private dental practice. A 45-minute consultation with one of three general dental practitioners (GDPs) primarily providing orthodontics took place. A participant self-completed questionnaire tested recall of 20 items from the consultation. Demographics such as gender, age, level of English, education level, previous orthodontic experience and having a close family member or friend who had orthodontic treatment were also recorded.

Results: Forty-two participants completed the questionnaire, and the information recall rate was 75% (mean score = 15). Three of the 42 participants recalled all 20 items. No statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) were found between information recall and any demographic variable, however, older participants (36 years and over) scored less (mean = 13.83) than participants 18-25 years (mean = 15.6).

Conclusions: A quarter of information provided during an orthodontic consultation with a GDP in a private dental practice cannot be recalled immediately afterwards by patients and so it is recommended that any verbal or visual information is always supplemented with written information.

私人牙科诊所的成人正畸咨询:患者离开手术时记得多少信息?
目的:良好的沟通和信息保留是有效同意的关键方面,本研究旨在评估成人患者在正畸咨询后立即回忆信息。材料和方法:对托架或透明牙齿矫正器感兴趣的成年人被邀请参加一个私人牙科诊所。与主要提供正畸治疗的三名普通牙科医生(gdp)中的一名进行了45分钟的咨询。一份参与者自填的问卷测试了他们对20个咨询项目的回忆。统计数据包括性别、年龄、英语水平、教育程度、以前的正畸经验以及是否有亲密的家庭成员或朋友接受过正畸治疗。结果:42名被试完成问卷,信息回忆率为75%(平均得分为15分)。42名参与者中有3人回忆起了全部20个项目。信息回忆与人口学变量之间无统计学差异(P < 0.05),但年龄较大的参与者(36岁及以上)得分低于18-25岁的参与者(平均= 15.6)。结论:在私人牙科诊所与国内生产总值进行正畸咨询时,患者无法立即回忆起四分之一的信息,因此建议任何口头或视觉信息都应辅以书面信息。
