摘要

目的确定尼日利亚牙医目前使用远程齿科技术的比例、影响其使用的因素、通信手段和使用的设备,以及他们对远程齿科技术在牙科实践中的可接受性、有效性和适用性的看法。调查方法使用 Survey Monkey 在线调查收集参与者的人口统计数据、远程牙科治疗的使用情况、远程牙科治疗的优势和挑战,以及对其可接受性、有效性和适用性的看法。采用卡方检验来确定组间的显著差异。结果:在 119 名参与者中,62.2% 的人目前没有使用远程齿科技术。不到一半(42.6%)的人在工作时使用互联网,12.5%的人只在家里使用互联网(P=0.016)。手机和个人电脑是唯一使用的设备,但 60% 的公共医疗保健参与者使用手机(P= 0.425)。大多数研究参与者(94.9%)同意远程齿科可用于将患者与可能无法随时提供的专科护理联系起来,但只有 47.1% 的人同意使用远程齿科为患者提供专科护理。84%的人同意远程齿科的电信设备成本可能是一个令人担忧的问题,66.4%的人同意在远程齿科中隐私仍然是一个令人担忧的问题。结论:尼日利亚牙医对远程牙科治疗的使用率目前还很低,在工作时间上网可能会提高远程牙科治疗的使用率。手机和个人电脑在公共和私人牙科中心都很普遍。尽管许多尼日利亚牙医认为远程牙科治疗很有效,但他们对远程牙科治疗在牙科实践中的可接受性和适用性仍有一些顾虑

The Use of Teledentistry for Patient Care among Dentists in Nigeria
Objectives: To determine the proportion of Nigerian dentists presently utilising Teledentistry, factors affecting its use, means of communication and devices used and their opinions on it acceptability, effectiveness and suitability in dental practice. Methods: A Survey Monkey online poll was used to collect data on participants’ demographics, their use of Teledentistry, perceived benefits and challenges of Teledentistry, as well as opinions on its acceptability, effectiveness, and suitability. The chi-square test was used to determine statistically significant differences between groups. Results: Out of 119 participants, 62.2% do not currently utilize Teledentistry. Less than half (42.6%) with internet access at work and 12.5% with internet access only at home utilize Teledentistry (P=0.016). Cell phones and personal computers are the only devices used but 60% of participants in public health care used cell phones (P= 0.425). The majority (94.9%) of the study participants agreed that Teledentistry can be used to connect patients with specialist care that may not be readily available but only 47.1% agreed to the use of Teledentistry for specialized care of patients. Eighty-four per cent agreed that the cost of telecommunications equipment for Teledentistry can be a cause for concern and 66.4% agreed that privacy is still a concern in Teledentistry. Conclusion: The use of Teledentistry among Nigerian dentists is currently low and access to the Internet during work hours may increase Teledentistry utilisation. Cell phones and personal computers are commonly used in both public and private dental centers. Although many Nigerian dentists consider Teledentistry effective, there are a few concerns about its acceptability and suitability for use in their dental practice
