Abstract
Aims: To systematically review the qualitative evidence related to experiences of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and to explore their journeys within health care services. Methods: A systematic search of the following databases was conducted: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL Complete, and the Cochrane database. Thematic synthesis was used to analyze and synthesize the data from qualitative studies that explored the journeys of TMD patients within health care services. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool was used to critically appraise the quality of the included studies. Results: The search strategies yielded 4,563 articles across all databases, and 18 articles were eventually included. Six themes were derived: care-seeking attitudes; expectations and health care experience; the patient-clinician interaction; diagnosis as a stepping stone for improvement; management; and social support. Conclusion: The journey within health care services may play a valuable role in the ability to cope with chronic TMDs. Receiving a diagnosis, being listened to, and being believed are among the most important elements making for a positive clinical experience.
目的:系统地回顾与颞下颌疾病(TMD)患者经历相关的定性证据,并探讨他们在卫生保健服务中的经历。方法:系统检索MEDLINE、Embase、PsycINFO、Web of Science、CINAHL Complete和Cochrane数据库。专题综合用于分析和综合来自定性研究的数据,这些研究探索了TMD患者在卫生保健服务中的旅程。使用批判性评估技能计划(CASP)工具对纳入研究的质量进行批判性评估。结果:搜索策略在所有数据库中产生了4,563篇文章,最终包括18篇文章。得出六个主题:求医态度;期望和卫生保健经验;医患互动;诊断是改善的垫脚石;管理;还有社会支持。结论:卫生保健服务中的旅程可能在应对慢性tmd的能力中发挥重要作用。接受诊断,被倾听,被相信是形成积极临床体验的最重要因素。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
