目的

开发及评价用于度量我国口腔医生医患沟通水平的量表。

方法

由20 名临床口腔医生及医患沟通研究者组成研究工作小组，通过研究文献，参考国际上常用的医患沟通量表及议题讨论，初步确定了口腔医患沟通量表的理论结构。 并进行预调查及条目筛选，形成正式量表。 向240 例口腔患者发放正式量表，对量表进行信度、效度分析评价。

结果

量表各条目与所属维度、各维度与量表总体之间均有显著性相关，提取出特征根大于1 的4 个因子，累积贡献率为62.60%，4 个因子所有条目的负荷值均在0.4 以上。 量表总体的Cronbach's α 系数为0.943，各维度的Cronbach's α 系数分别为0.916、0.845、0.841、0.780。

结论

口腔医患沟通量表具有良好的信度和效度，可用于了解口腔医生医患沟通水平，发现医生在医患沟通能力方面的薄弱环节，对针对性开展医患沟通教育具有一定的实用价值。

Objective

To develop a special scale for measuring the doctor-patient communication of dentists in China.

Methods

The research group was composed of 20 dentists and doctor-patient communication researchers.By studying related literatures and making reference to internationally recognized doctor-patient communication scales and session discussions， we established an initial theoretical structure of the doctor-patient communication scale applied in hospitals of stomatology.The formal scale was formed finally after pilot study and entries screening.The scale was tested by 240 patients with oral diseases， and its reliability and validity were evaluated.

Results

There was remarkable correlation between each item and its dimension， also each dimension and overall scale.Extracted four factors， the characteristic roots of which were greater than 1， the cumulative contribution rate of which was 62.60% and the load values of all entries from the four factors were above 0.4.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the overall scale was 0.943 and those of the sub dimensions were 0.916， 0.845， 0.841， 0.780.

Conclusions

The scale showed excellent reliability and validity.It can be used to quantify the doctor-patient communication in hospitals of stomatology， and dig out weaknesses of dentists in communication skills.It plays an important role in doctor-patient communication education.
