Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All SPDs (including post-graduate dentists in paediatric dentistry) in Sweden, circa 150 in total, and approximately 1,000 GDPs, will be invited to answer the questionnaire. To be included GDPs need to have registered addresses in county Skåne, Sweden, and be accredited to provide dental care to children and adolescents by Region Skåne, the regional public health and dental care provider. A questionnaire along with written information about the study and two consent forms will be mailed to presumptive study participants. Those willing to participate in the study are asked to return (postage prepaid) one signed consent form and the completed questionnaire. The questionnaire is adapted from one previously used in Sweden. It contains demographic questions, and questions regarding work situation. These questions are followed by four clinical scenarios, and questions relating to use of pain management practices. Responses are given on a 5-point Likert scale. The final questions are open ended and concern the use of pre- and postoperative analgesics.
