良好的口腔卫生对长期护理居民的整体健康有影响，但疗养院需要显著改善。在纽约州的22家养老院开展了一项名为“实地指导”的项目，该项目将以循证为基础的日常口腔护理方法--无战口腔护理--与兼职牙科保健员一起采用指导模式。这份报告讨论了质量改进项目的实施情况，该项目改善了养老院居民的日常口腔护理质量，并改变了提供护理的工作人员的知识和态度，所有这些都得到了地区牙科卫生员教练的支持。(C)2019年AMDA--急性后和长期护理医学学会。
Good oral hygiene has an impact on the overall health of residents in long-term care; however, significant improvement is needed in nursing homes. A "boots on the ground" project was developed that incorporates Mouth Care without a Battle, an evidence-based approach to person-centered daily mouth care, into 22 New York State nursing homes using a coaching model with part-time dental hygienists. This report discusses implementation of the quality improvement project, which improved the quality of daily mouth care provided to nursing home residents, as well as changed the knowledge and attitudes of the staff providing their care, all supported by regional dental hygienist coaches.
