Abstract
This mixed methods study explored the oral health–related knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns of nurse practitioners (NPs) in Canada. The survey was sent to all NPs across Canada (N = 4,540); 153 respondents (3.4% response rate) completed the online survey, and 4 respondents were subsequently selected to participate in qualitative, semistructured interviews. NPs believe that they have a role in oral health care and are motivated to include oral health into their practice. However, a lack of knowledge and skills, likely caused by gaps in education and training, is limiting their ability to do so with confidence.
