BACKGROUND: On July 1(st) 2013 the Mandatory Reporting Code Act came into force
in the Netherlands, making it compulsory for health professionals to adhere to a
reporting code when they suspect patients to be victims of domestic violence (DV)
or child abuse (CA). The Royal Dutch Dental Association (KNMT) developed a
reporting code for dental professionals (RCD). Moreover, an e-learning module
about DV has been developed. A web-survey was conducted to investigate how
general dental practitioners (GDPs) deal with the RCD and what their experiences
are with (signs of) DV and CA. METHODS: In April 2014 1038 GDPs were invited by
e-mail to participate in a web-survey consisting of 24 items, through the KNMT
Data Stations Project. The data was analyzed using SPSS (RELIABILITY, CHISQ and
ANOVA). RESULTS: Of all GDPs invited to participate 264 (25 %) responded. 82 % of
these GDPs are aware of their obligation to use the reporting code. 54 % of the
GDPs are in favor of this obligation. 76 % of the GDPs have taken notice of the
KNMT's RCD and 51 % of the GDPs have implemented the reporting code in one form
or another in their practice. 24 % of the GDPs stated having suspected DV during
the last twelve months in the case of 2.4 patients on average. 81 % took note of
this in the patient's record and 58 % also took action in different ways. 54 %
wants to complete the e-learning module. CONCLUSIONS: Most GDPs are aware of the
new legislation and have taken cognizance of the RCD. Even though the majority of
GDPs are not opposed to using a reporting code, over half of them have not yet
implemented the code in practice. An important factor in this regard seems to be
that a substantial minority of the GDPs says they are not sufficiently informed
about aspects of reporting a case and about the steps they have to take.
