Wetenschapsagenda 'Mondzorg voor ouderen' in Nederland en Vlaanderen
DOI: 10.5177/ntvt.2019.12.19085 Bladzijden: 637-645Thema: Mondzorg bij kwetsbare ouderen
De mondzorg voor ouderen is in de tandheelkunde en ook in de algemene gezondheidszorg een onderbelicht thema, terwijl mondzorgverleners steeds vaker worden geconfronteerd met kwetsbare, medisch gecompromitteerde ouderen met een complexe zorgvraag. Met als doel onderzoekers in Nederland en Vlaanderen (België) te stimuleren om meer gezamenlijk onderzoek te doen en daarmee te komen tot uitbreiding en implementatie van kennis, is de wetenschapsagenda ‘Mondzorg voor ouderen’ geformuleerd. Daarmee wordt een maatschappelijk verantwoorde en sterke wetenschappelijke basis geboden voor duurzame mondzorg voor kwetsbare ouderen. Hierin is de focus gericht op 3 thema’s: mondgezondheid en orale functie bij ouderen, multi-/interdisciplinaire samenwerking binnen eerstelijnszorg en kosten, baten en langetermijneff ect(en) van levensloopbestendige mondzorg.
Research agenda oral care for older people in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium)
Oral care for older people is an underexposed topic in dentistry as well as in general healthcare, while oral care professionals are increasingly confronted with frail and multimorbid older people with complex care needs. The research agenda ‘Oral care for the elderly’ was developed to encourage the collaboration of researchers in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) to do more research in this area and in this way, to achieve an expansion and implementation of knowledge. This will make possible the provision of a socially responsible and robust basis for sustainable oral care for frail older people. The focus of the agenda is on 3 themes, namely oral health and oral function for older people; multi/interdisciplinary collaboration within primary care and the costs, benefits and long-term effect(s) of oral care throughout the entire course of life. This article provides an overview of this research agenda and the way in which it has been established.
