Area of Science:

  • Dental Science
  • Communication Studies
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Effective dentist-patient communication is vital in prosthodontics, particularly concerning esthetic preferences.
  • Previous communication studies lack standardized methods, hindering result evaluation.
  • Methodological development is needed to quantitatively analyze dentist-patient interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To translate and adapt the Roter Method of Interaction Process Analysis (RIAS) for Swedish prosthodontic contexts.
  • To evaluate the applicability and reliability of the revised RIAS method in analyzing dentist-patient communication in prosthodontics.

Main Methods:

  • The Roter Method of Interaction Process Analysis (RIAS) was translated into Swedish and modified for prosthodontics.
  • Ten audio recordings of dentist-patient encounters at a prosthodontic specialty clinic were coded using the revised RIAS manual.
  • Intra-rater reliability was assessed for utterance classification (97%) and categorization definition (lambda = 0.76).

Main Results:

  • The revised RIAS method successfully distinguished communication patterns in audio-recorded prosthodontic encounters.
  • Distinct interaction profiles were identified, effectively differentiating between encounters.
  • High intra-rater reliability indicates the method's consistency and accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The revised RIAS method is a valid and reliable tool for communication research in prosthodontics.
  • This method enables quantitative analysis of dentist-patient interactions, aiding in understanding communication dynamics.
  • The findings support the use of RIAS for improving dentist-patient communication strategies in prosthodontics.
