“…In oral health, patients reporting outcomes using different dental services (Anderson et al, ; Brennan et al, ), patients' experiences of oral health related to quality of life after dental treatments (Allen, Savadatti, & Gurmankin Levy, ; Tsakos et al, ) and changes in dental coverage status in relation to oral status (Manski et al, ) were found.…”

“…Situational transitions mainly regarded conditional changes focusing on caregivers (Cook, Pierce, Hicks, & Steiner, 2006;Eriksson & Sandberg, 2008), out-of-home care such as foster care (Daining & DePanfilis, 2007), becoming a professional (Johnstone, Kanitsaki, & Currie, 2008;Yan, Gao, & Lam, 2013), professional practices (Höjer & Sjöblom, 2011) or retiring (Jonsson, 2011;Manski et al, 2011).…”

Aims To continuing the quest of the concept of transition in nursing research and to explore how the concept of transition is used in occupational therapy, oral health and social work as well as in interdisciplinary studies in health and welfare, between 2003–2013. Design An integrative literature review. Methods PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, DOSS, SocIndex, Social Science Citation Index and AMED databases from 2003–2013 were used. Identification of 350 articles including the concept of transition in relation to disciplines included. Assessment of articles are in accordance to Meleis' typologies of transition by experts in each discipline. Chosen key factors were entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results Meleis' four typologies were found in all studied disciplines, except development in oral health. The health‐illness type was the most commonly explored, whereas in social work and in occupation therapy, situational transitions dominated.

“…It is therefore not surprising that both wealth and income have a strong and independent positive effect on dental-care use among the elderly 9 . Similarly, it is not surprising that having dental insurance coverage, which lowers the out-of-pocket cost of care, also increases the likelihood of dental-care use 10,11 .…”

In this review we consider oral health access among older adults within and between the United States and various European countries with regard to possible primary financial and modifiable secondary non-financial factors. For older adults, the likelihood of using dental services has been associated with a multiplicity of factors in the health literature. These factors are traditionally classified into predisposing, enabling, and need categories, and can be further classified into modifiable and non-modifiable sub-categories. This raises the question as to which single factor or group of factors has the most influence in keeping older adults from seeking care, and how might these influences differ between the USA and various other (European) countries. As it turns out, there is variation in the magnitude of effects across certain measurable potential barriers, but generally it takes a combination of characteristics associated with non-use to have a substantial impact.

“…Earlier work found that older individuals with higher household wealth holdings were more likely to seek dental care, even controlling for insurance coverage and household income (9). Previous work has also shown that lower levels of household income are associated with a lower likelihood of older adults newly seeking dental care and a higher likelihood of stopping dental care (10). Thus, it stands to reason that changes in household wealth and income associated with the outset of the recent recession may also be important determinants in the decision to seek dental care among older adults.…”

Objective The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between changes in household finances (wealth and income) and changes in dental utilization at the onset of the recent recession in a population of older Americans. Methods Data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) were analyzed for U.S. individuals aged 51 years and older during the 2006 and 2008 waves of the HRS. We estimated logistic models of (1) starting and (2) stopping dental use between 2006 and 2008 survey periods as a function of changes in household wealth and income, controlling for other potentially confounding covariates. Results We found that only when household wealth falls by 50 percent or more were older adults less likely to seek dental care. Changes in household income and other changes in household wealth were not associated with changes in dental utilization among this population. Conclusions Older Americans’ dental care utilization appeared to be fairly resilient to changes in household finances; only when wealth fell by 50 percent or more did individuals decrease dental use. This finding might extend to other health care services that are preventive, routine, and relatively inexpensive.
