：本研究旨在澄清精神科护士对住院患者进行口腔护理的实际状况。我们在本研究中调查了精神科护士。总共分析了 129 份有效回复。结果显示，大多数精神科护士都感受到口腔护理的重要性。大约 80% 的精神科护士自我评价所进行的口腔护理不足。大约一半的人对口腔护理进行了自我评价，认为没有与牙医合作进行。与牙医合作的精神科护士将“口腔状况不佳”和“知识不足”视为口腔护理不足的原因，这表明与牙医合作可能会导致人们意识到口腔护理不足。随着与牙医合作的加强，我们的结果表明精神科护士需要采取措施提高口腔护理的质量。
: The present study aimed to clarify the actual status of oral care administered by psychiatric nurses to hospitalized patients. We investigated psychiatric nurses in the present study. A total of 129 valid responses were analysed. The results revealed that most psychiatric nurses felt the importance of oral care. Approximately 80% of psychiatric nurses self-evaluated the oral care being performed as insufficient. Approximately half self-evaluated the oral care as not conducted in collaboration with dentists. Psychiatric nurse who worked in collaboration with dentists cited ‘poor oral condition’ and ‘insufficient knowledge’ as reasons for insufficient oral care, suggesting that collaborating with dentists may lead to an awareness of insufficient oral care. Along with the enhancement of collaboration with dentists, our results suggest that psychiatric nurses need to take steps to improve the quality of oral care.
