Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the experiences of young people and their parents regarding the impact on school performance due to time away from school for orthodontic appointments and to explore their views about a possible extension to the current service. DESIGN: Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. SETTING: UK district hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven pairs of interviewees: Young people undergoing fixed appliances and their parents. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with young people and their parents. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. A framework approach was used to analyse the data. RESULTS: Thematic analysis of the data identified five main themes which were (i) Expectations of the treatment process and appointments, (ii) Impact of school absences and treatment, (iii) Appointments, (iv) Implications for young people, parents, and others and (v) Satisfaction with treatment. These themes were then further subdivided and analysed. CONCLUSIONS: Thematic analysis of the data identified five main themes which were (i) Expectations of the treatment process and appointments, (ii) Impact of school absences and treatment, (iii) Appointments, (iv) Implications for young people, parents, and others and (v) Satisfaction with treatment. These themes were then further subdivided and analysed.
