背景:

思春期の若者が歯科受診時にどのように相互作用を経験するかについての研究は不足している。歯科受診時に経験した相互作用は、思春期の若者がどのように口腔内の健康をケアし、歯科医院にどのように通院するかに影響を与えるだろう。

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of studies about how adolescents experience the interaction during dental visits. The experienced interaction during dental visits will influence how adolescents take care of their oro-dental health, and how they attend at the dentist's office.

エイム:

虫歯の既往歴の有無にかかわらず、18歳児の歯科受診時の相互作用体験を探る。

AIM: To explore the interaction experiences during dental visits of 18-year-olds with or without a history of caries.

デザイン:

15歳時の歯の健康状態をその後の歯科スタッフとの交流経験の予測因子とした．歯の健康状態はDecayed Missed Filled Teeth indexで評価され、交流経験はPatient Dental Staff Interaction Questionnaireで評価された。

DESIGN: The dental health status at age 15 years was used as a predictor of subsequent interaction experiences with the dental staff. The dental health status was assessed by the Decayed Missed Filled Teeth index and interaction experiences by the Patient Dental Staff Interaction Questionnaire.

結果:

虫歯の既往歴のある青年期は、健康な歯を持つ青年期に比べて、歯科受診時の相互作用を有意に否定的に経験していた。この関連は、潜在的な交絡因子（親密感、性別、母親の基礎教育の期間）を調整した後に有意であった。

RESULTS: Adolescents with a history of caries experienced the interaction at dental visits significantly more often negatively than adolescents with healthy teeth. The association was significant after adjustment for potential confounding factors (sense of coherence, gender, and duration of maternal basic education).

結論:

思春期のう蝕患者を理解し、励まし、適切な交流を行うことで、患者は治療やセルフケアに前向きで受容的になる可能性がある。

CONCLUSIONS: Understanding, encouraging, and appropriate interaction with adolescents with caries may make patients more positive and receptive for treatment and self-care.
