Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to identify the most important and relevant aspects of functioning related to oral health from the patient's perspective.
Materials and methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional qualitative study, focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Adults age 18 years or older with an oral health condition, such as caries, periodontal disease, cancer of the oral cavity or lips, were included. The content of the focus groups and interviews was recorded, transcribed, and analysed using thematic analysis, that is, patterns in the data were identified and broken down into meaningful concepts, which in turn were linked to the most precise categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Focus groups and interviews were analysed until saturation was reached.
Results: Statements of 36 participants were included in the analysis. Saturation was reached after analysing five focus groups and 3 interviews, 1213 meaningful concepts were identified and subsequently linked to 150 ICF categories (51 in the Body Functions component, 39 in Activities and Participation, 16 Body Structures, 44 in Environmental Factors) and 102 Personal Factors. Thirty-four concepts were not covered by the ICF and 49 were non-definable concepts. The results of one focus group comprising of young health professionals are displayed separately.
Conclusion: Functioning-based outcomes for persons with an oral health condition were identified in every component of the ICF, indicating that oral health conditions affect different aspects of an individual's everyday life.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
