A comparative study investigating patient experience at corporate and private dental practices.
Get PDFOral healthcare is an essential aspect of an individual’s systemic health. However, many oral conditions are left untreated due to the inaccessibility to dental care. Many disparities limit access to dental care like low income and lack of insurance coverage. Untreated oral conditions are linked to systemic health problems like cardiovascular disease, stroke, and pancreatic cancer. Patient experience is a driving factor in the continued involvement in dental care that would limit some of the diseases with oral health manifestations. I aim to compare patient experiences in private and corporate dental practices to provide a scope of the dental care opportunities in the Omaha area through semi-structured interviews with various dentists. I conducted four interviews with two private and two corporate dentists that focused on patient volume and experience. I found that corporate dental practices handle a higher volume of patients and maintain more advanced technology to accommodate their attendance. Private practices are more traditional in their treatment, offering a more personal approach by the dentist. Both private and corporate dentists emphasize the importance of communication in building a relationship that has trust as the foundation. Ultimately, this study highlights some of the differences in the delivery of dental care across two avenues of dentistry to ensure accurate understanding of dental care in the Omaha area
Diagnostic Categories and Epistemic Injustice in Clinical Psychology
No full textThis study investigated how clinical psychologists reasoned about and used diagnostic categories in practice. Diagnostic categories are limited and sometimes reductive systems of understanding people. They can also bring with them epistemic injustice, a type of wrong done to someone specifically in their capacity as a knower. In this case the concern is that a mental health diagnosis is a serious attack on a person’s credibility, wherein their experience is seen as less legitimate insofar as it is caused by an illness. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with clinical psychologists. Psychologists generally described using diagnosis as one of many tools to understand their clients. They emphasized learning about their clients through the clinical relationship, through open and unjudgmental listening. In their theoretical thinking about diagnosis, clinicians pulled from multiple explanatory frameworks. Some explanatory frameworks, like biogenetic explanations, were used as a justification for pathologizing mental deviance, whereas others, for example psychosocial explanations, were used as reasons not to pathologize mental differences
