摘要

背景和目的:冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行导致医疗服务的提供发生了重大变化。尽管在高暴露环境中存在风险,但牙科工作人员等一线工作者仍应继续提供基本服务。本研究专门探讨了新南威尔士州牙科工作人员的经历,并确定了他们对大流行期间牙科保健服务的看法:研究采用了有目的的抽样方法,从两个地方卫生区招募了 24 名牙科工作人员。采用布劳恩和克拉克所描述的演绎框架来分析记录。确定了四个主要重点领域:应对协议变更、适应政策和协议变更的影响、修改牙科治疗计划以及对培训和政策实施的建议:牙科工作人员报告说,管理人员已经尽其所能,在团队中工作得到了最大的支持。减少与病人的接触和个人防护设备有助于员工在看病时感到安全。心理健康和远程牙科服务可以得到更多支持:在 COVID-19 全球大流行期间,牙科工作人员及其管理层经历了独特的挑战。未来需要考虑的问题包括改善对员工的支持以及进一步调查远程牙科等方案的有效性。

Provision of Public Dental Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences of Dental Staff in Greater Western Sydney, Australia.

Background and aim: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to significant changes in health service delivery. Despite the risk in high-exposure environments, frontline workers such as dental staff were expected to continue delivering essential services. This study specifically sought to explore the experiences of dental staff in New South Wales and determine their perceptions of dental care delivery during a pandemic.

Methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit twenty-four dental staff from two local health districts. A deductive framework, as described by Braun and Clark, was used to analyse the transcripts. Four major focus areas were identified: responding to protocol changes, adapting to the impact of changes in policy and protocol, modifying dental treatment planning and recommendations for training and implementation of policies.

Results: Dental staff reported that management staff were doing all they could and were most supported working in a team. Reduced contact with patients and personal protective equipment helped staff feel safe when seeing patients. Mental health and remote dentistry services could be more supported.

Conclusions: Unique challenges were experienced by dental staff and their management during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Future considerations include improved support for staff and further investigation into the effectiveness of options such as teledentistry.
