Abstract

Introduction: Dental treatments have a high-risk nature due to the close relationship between the patient and direct exposure to saliva, blood, etc. Concerns about the transmission of COVID-19 infection have led to the formation of some form of patient fear. Therefore, considering the importance of mental health, the present study was designed to investigate the degree of anxiety in people with COVID-19 through dentistry.Material and Methods: In the present descriptive study, 384 questionnaires were randomly distributed among the patients of Sari Dental Clinic in the period of April to June 2021. After the necessary explanations and obtaining informed written consent, the questionnaires were completed by the clients. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS V.22 software and statistical tests. Values greater than 0.05 were also considered significant.Results: In this study, 29.2% were male and 68.8% were female, and corona-related anxiety was more common in women and married people. As they got older, they tended to respond to higher options like most of the time or always. The higher the level of education, the less noticeable the unnecessary visits to the dental clinic.Conclusion: People were more worried about transmitting the disease to those around them and this anxiety was more in women than men. Married people were also more anxious than single people. Anxiety was significantly higher in the unemployed than in the employed. There was a significant relationship between degree and level of anxiety and people with higher education levels showed more anxiety.
2021年莎丽牙科学校门诊就诊患者对COVID-19感染的焦虑程度评价
导读:牙科治疗与患者关系密切,直接接触唾液、血液等,具有高危性。对COVID-19感染传播的担忧导致形成了某种形式的患者恐惧。因此,考虑到心理健康的重要性,本研究旨在通过牙科调查COVID-19患者的焦虑程度。材料与方法:本描述性研究于2021年4月至6月对莎丽牙科诊所的患者随机发放384份问卷。在得到必要的解释和知情的书面同意后,由来访者填写问卷。最后,采用SPSS V.22软件对数据进行分析,并进行统计检验。大于0.05的值也被认为是显著的。结果:在本研究中,男性占29.2%,女性占68.8%,冠状病毒相关焦虑在女性和已婚人群中更为常见。随着年龄的增长,他们倾向于对更高的选项做出反应,比如大部分时间或总是。受教育程度越高,不必要去牙科诊所的次数就越少。结论:人们更担心将疾病传染给周围的人,并且这种焦虑在女性中多于男性。已婚人士也比单身人士更焦虑。失业人员的焦虑程度明显高于就业人员。焦虑程度与焦虑水平存在显著相关,受教育程度越高的人焦虑程度越高。
