摘要

简介:身体虚弱对日常口腔卫生和定期看牙医的能力有深远的负面影响。为了向老年人提供有效的口腔护理和口腔健康服务,本研究旨在探讨体弱多病的居家老年人在日常口腔卫生和专业护理方面的经历、需求和障碍。方法:对27名比利时居家体弱老年人进行半结构化访谈。访谈采用反身性专题方法进行分析。结果:确定了三个主题:“口腔保健的重要性”;“日常口腔卫生”;以及“寻求专业护理”。所有参与者都确认了保持良好口腔健康的重要性。然而,日常口腔卫生往往没有按照最新指南的建议进行。功能独立被认为是一个重要的问题,参与者表示不愿意向家庭护理护士寻求帮助。关于预防性牙科检查的有效性,人们的意见不一。结论:研究结果突出了老年人口腔健康知识或实践与其重要性意识之间的差距。因此,需要努力提高老年人口腔护理的自我效能感。非口腔保健提供者可以在鼓励和推荐老年人向口腔保健专业人员咨询方面发挥关键作用。

Oral Care Experiences of Home-Dwelling Frail Older Adults in Flanders, Belgium-A Qualitative Study.

Introduction: Frailty has a profound negative impact on the abilities to perform daily oral hygiene and to regularly attend a dental professional. To inform effective oral care and oral health services for older adults, this research aimed to explore frail, home-dwelling older adults' experiences, needs, and barriers to daily oral hygiene and professional care.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-seven home-dwelling frail older adults in Belgium. Interviews were analysed using a reflexive thematic approach.

Results: Three themes were identified: 'importance of oral healthcare'; 'performing daily oral hygiene'; and 'seeking professional care'. All participants confirmed the importance of maintaining good oral health. Nevertheless, daily oral hygiene was often not performed as the latest guidelines recommend. Functional independence was considered an important issue, and participants expressed reluctance to ask home care nurses for help. Opinions on the usefulness of preventive dental visits were mixed.

Conclusion: The findings highlight a gap between older adults' oral health knowledge or practices and the awareness of its importance. Consequently, efforts are needed to enhance older adults' self-efficacy in oral care. Non-oral healthcare providers could play a key role in encouraging and referring older adults to oral health professionals.

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.
