Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use fluoride-hesitant parents as a model to identify the factors that erode versus build trust in their child's dentists.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide with fluoride-hesitant parents recruited from two dental clinics and through snowball sampling. A content analysis was performed to identify factors that erode versus build parents' trust in their child's dentist.

Results: Of the 56 parents interviewed, most were female (91.1 percent) and white (57.1 percent) and had a mean age of 41±9.7 (standard deviation) years. Factors identified included five that erode trust (having trust violated previously, sensing discrepancies, getting pushed to accept fluoride, feeling dismissed, and sensing bias) and four that build trust (being treated as an individual, having a dentist who communicates, feeling supported and respected, and having a choice).

Conclusions: Dentists' understanding of the factors that erode and build trust with parents could help providers develop patient-centered communication strategies.

对影响惧氟父母信任牙医的因素进行定性评估。

目的：本研究的目的是以对氟过敏的父母为模型，找出削弱或建立对子女牙医信任的因素：方法：采用半结构式访谈指南，对从两家牙科诊所和滚雪球式抽样中招募到的拒氟家长进行了定性研究。研究对内容进行了分析，以确定削弱或建立家长对孩子牙医信任的因素：在受访的 56 位家长中，大多数为女性（91.1%）和白人（57.1%），平均年龄为 41±9.7（标准差）岁。所发现的因素包括五种削弱信任的因素（之前信任受到侵犯、感觉到差异、被强迫接受氟化物、感觉被否定以及感觉到偏见）和四种建立信任的因素（被当作一个独立个体对待、牙医善于沟通、感觉到支持和尊重以及有选择权）：牙医对削弱和建立与家长信任的因素的了解，有助于牙医制定以患者为中心的沟通策略。
