Oral Health and Dental Health Care Experiences of Patients From the Netherlands With Parkinson's Disease: A Qualitative Study.
Background: Parkinson's disease patients have poorer oral health than their healthy peers. Insight into their own experiences is vital for improving dental care.
Objective: To better understand the experiences of Parkinson's disease patients' with their oral health and dental care.
Materials and methods: Eleven semistructured interviews with Parkinson's disease patients from the Netherlands were conducted. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify recurring themes and patterns.
Results: Participants' narratives revealed challenges in accessing dental treatment, primarily due to motor and communication difficulties. They also highlighted organisational barriers, such as appointment scheduling and awareness of care practitioners about Parkinson's disease patients' oral health. Furthermore, they expressed the urgent need for Parkinson's disease-specific dental education to (dental) care practitioners and research initiatives that focus on Parkinson's disease patients' oral health and dental care.
Conclusion: Parkinson's disease patients' experiences highlight the need for tailored care interventions and improvements in dental care systems.
期刊介绍:
The ultimate aim of Gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. In addition, management of other health problems impacts on dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who are seeking to read and to publish papers across a broad spectrum of specialties. This journal provides the juxtaposition of papers from traditional specialties but which share this patient-centred interest, providing a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.
