Full textElektroniska journalsystem är en viktig del av tandvården i Sverige, då användbarheten av dessa system kan påverka arbetsflödet i tandvårdsorganisationer. Denna studie syftar till att mäta System usability scale (SUS) poäng för olika elektroniska journalsystem som används i olika tandkliniker i Sverige. Studien kommer också att undersöka sambandet mellan SUS-poäng för elektroniska journalsystem och deltagarnas ålder, kön, intresse av teknologi, antal patienter per arbetsdag, yrkeserfarenhet, möjlig specialutbildning för att använda elektroniska journalsystem och perioden för denna utbildning. Studien kommer också att rangordna det vanligaste användbarhetsproblemet i journalsystem bland de sju möjliga användbarhetsproblemen som ingår i frågeformuläret. Studien kommer att presentera hur deltagarna beskriver upplevda användbarhetsproblem i journalsystem. Den kvantitativa metoden utgör den största delen av denna studie, medan de öppna frågorna användes för att få en djupare kunskap om några av användbarhetsproblemen. Ett digitalt frågeformulär användes i denna studie för att samla in data från 115 tandläkare och 77 tandhygienister som arbetar vid olika tandkliniker runt om i Sverige för att få en statistisk förankrad beskrivning om användbarheten av olika elektroniska journalsystem. SUS indikerar en låg användbarhetsnivå i de systemen som ingår i studien. Vi upptäckte också en signifikant negativ korrelation mellan frekvensen av att använda systemen och användbarhetsnivån. Män visade en bättre upplevelse för användbarhet av systemen jämfört med kvinnor. Det högst rankade användbarhetsproblemet var användarnas behov av lång tid för att dokumentera patientfall. Vi sammanfattade hur deltagarna beskriver upplevda användbarhetsproblem i journalsystem under tre kategorier som är: ett ineffektivt användargränssnitt, brist på semantisk interoperabilitet och användare som skriver på en lapp.

Full textAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of hypnotherapy’s effects and experiences of hypnotherapy as a treatment of dental fear in dental clinics. Material and Methods: The material was obtained through interviews with six informants working with hypnotherapy as a treatment for dental fear in dental clinics in Sweden. The interviews were conducted using an interview guide and lasted 20 - 35 minutes. The method was qualitative and the interviews were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. Results: In the results a main theme appeared: Preventive treatment. The results showed that the informants perceived hypnotherapy’s effects as good and they experienced hypnotherapy as effective in the treatment of dental fear. The informants agreed that hypnotherapy should be used in dental clinics and performed by a dentist or dental hygienist. Many of the informants felt that their colleagues had difficulties accepting hypnotherapy as a method. Conclusion: Perceptions and experiences of hypnotherapy as a treatment and its effect are generally positive with some exceptions regarding their colleagues attitudes towards the method. More research is needed to bring a wider acceptance and understanding of hypnotherapy as a treatment method.

Full textAim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cigarette smoking and parodontitis. Method: The study is based on a general literature study that compiles current research in the chosen subject. The study is based on 15 quantitative articles which were searched through PubMed and Sience Direct. Results: The results showed that there was a relation between periodontal disease and cigarette smoking. Smoking was the primary behavioral risk factor for the occurrence of parodontitis and smokers showed a more unhealthy behavior and negative attitude to the general health. Studies also showed that the body's defense against bacteria decreased in smokers who had a high amount of plaque and thus contributed to the immune system overreacts to the bacteria. This in turn caused widespread damage in the tissue and resulted in loss of tissue.Conclusion: The study showed that there is a relation between cigarette smoking and periodontitis. Variables such as age and sex have no influence on the association between cigarette smoking and periodontitis. In contrast, the number of smoked cigarettes per year and the number of years of consumption that have an impact on the occurrence of periodontal disease.

Full textThere were two primary goals of this work. The first goal was to investigate humeral and scapular kinematics in a simulated workplace environment. The second goal was to validate a triaxial accelerometer (Virtual Corset) for the collection of humeral elevation exposure data in an occupational setting. To achieve the first goal, healthy subjects were asked to perform constrained and functional humeral elevation motions. Differences were observed in scapular kinematics. In addition, the variability between constrained arm elevation and functional overhead tasks was found to be similar. Therefore, to compare scapular kinematics in an occupational group (dental hygienists) a functional work related task was determined to be more appropriate. The dental hygienists performed teeth instrumentation on simulated patients' with both big and average chest girth in a simulated work environment. Dental hygienist's humeral elevation and scapular upward rotation angles were found to be higher while working on the big chest girth manikin. These differences may increase dental hygienists susceptibility for musculoskeletal disorders. To achieve the second goal, an in-vitro comparison of angles measured with the Virtual Corset and an inclinometer was conducted under static conditions. Under dynamic conditions the Virtual Corset was compared to a potentiometer, in a pendulum setting. It was found that the Virtual Corset can accurately reconstruct elevation angles under static conditions, root mean square error less than 1[white square]. Under dynamic conditions, the error size was related to the angular velocity and acceleration, and the radius of rotation. To further investigate the Virtual Corset's ability to measure exposure parameters in-vivo the Virtual Corset was compare to a magnetic tracking device. To do so dental hygienists performed flossing tasks in a simulated work station. It was found that the Virtual Corset can be used to reconstruct elevation angles, with an acceptable angle error, and to identify exposure parameters in occupational settings similar to the one simulated in the present study. This dissertation includes unpublished co-authored material.
