Abstract
In children, dental anxiety of dental treatment has been recognized as a source of problems in patient man agement for many years. Dental anxiety can be causes of negative cooperation, cancel and avoid of dental treatment. Therefore, dentist and dental team should recognize of child's dental anxiety as early as possible and manage appropriately. In previous studies, it is reported that parental dental anxiety affect dental anxiety and cooperation of their child. And it is parental decision which results in a child's visit to the dentist, rather than a child's decision in most cases. Therefore, it is important to identify the relationship of dental anxiety between child and parent. We estimated child's dental anxiety before dental treatment using Venham Picture Scale that is useful even a very young child and parental dental anxiety using Corah's dental anxiety scale. Then, two values above were compared. Child's cooperation, temperament, sex, age, parental education were estimated and compared with dental anxiety, too. The results were as follows: 1. There are positive relationship of dental anxiety between child and parent with the correlation analysis(P<0.02). 2. There are negative relationship of child's dental anxiety and child's cooperation with the correlation and regression analysis(P<0.001). 3. Low anxiety group has lower mean value of four temperament item with the Student's t-test. But, there is no statistical differences(P>0.1). 4. Girl and younger group have higher mean value of dental anxiety than boy and older group with the Student's t-test(P<0.001). 5. Low educated parents have higher mean value of dental anxiety than high educated parents with the Student's t-test(P>0.1).
어린이에게 있어서 치과 불안의 문제는 오랫동안 환자 행동조절의 문제로서 여겨져 왔으며 이러한 문제로 인해 치료 시의 비협조도, 치료 약속 취소 및 회피 등이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 치과의사 및 치과 팀에게 가능한 한 빨리 어린이의 치과 불안을 인지하여 적절히 대처할 것이 요구되어진다. 한편, 부모의 치과 불안이 그들의 아이의 치과 불안과 치료 협조도에 영향을 줄 수 있음이 이전의 여러 연구들로부터 언급되어지고 있다. 또한 치과 방문 결정의 주체가 어린이라기보다는 부모임을 고려할 때, 부모와 어린이 사이의 치과 불안도의 관계 규명이 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구는 전북대학교 병원 소아치과에 내원한
