Abstract

OBJETIVO: devido à crescente preocupação dos profissionais em adquirir novos pacientes e mantê-los satisfeitos com o tratamento, o presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o nível de satisfação de pacientes em tratamento ortodôntico em relação à atuação do ortodontista. MÉTODOS: foram avaliados 60 questionários preenchidos por pacientes em tratamento ortodôntico com profissionais especialistas em Ortodontia, da cidade de Curitiba-PR. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: o grupo 1 compreendia 30 pacientes que se consideravam insatisfeitos e se transferiram de profissional nos últimos 12 meses; os 30 pacientes participantes do grupo 2 consideravam-se satisfeitos e estavam em tratamento ortodôntico com o mesmo profissional há pelo menos 12 meses. RESULTADOS E CONCLUSÕES: após a realização da análise estatística pelo teste qui-quadrado, foi possível concluir que os fatores estatisticamente relacionados com o nível de satisfação dos pacientes avaliados, considerando a atuação do ortodontista, foram: titulação, recomendação do profissional, motivação, classificação técnica, interação profissional/paciente, e relacionamento pessoal com o paciente. Na avaliação do tratamento ortodôntico, os fatores que determinaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas no nível de satisfação dos pacientes foram: quantidade de pacientes atendidos simultaneamente e integração do paciente durante as consultas
