FARKLI İKİ BÖLGEDE YAŞAYAN HASTA GRUBUNDA DENTAL VE DURUMLUK-SÜREKLİ ANKSİYETE DÜZEYİNİN TAM PROTEZ MEMNUNİYETİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

İki farkl& bölgede yaayan hasta grubu üzerinde tan&mlay&c& olarak planlanm& bu arat&rma; dental anksiyete ile durumluk ve sürekli anksiyete düzeyleri aras&ndaki ilikiyi ve bu anksiyete düzeylerinin tam protez memnuniyetine etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlad&. Arat&rma Çukurova (Grup Ç) ve Atatürk Üniversitesi (Grup A) Di Hekimli?i Fakültesi Protetik Di Tedavisi Anabilimdallar&na bavuran toplam 62 tam protez hastas&n& içerdi. Hastalara ait veriler; Modifiye Dental Anksiyete Skalas& (MDAS), Durumluk-Sürekli Anksiyete Ölçe?i (STAI Form I-II) kullan&larak topland&. Tam protezlerinden, Grup A’da önemli oranda ikâyeti olan hastalar&n tamam&n&n, Grup Ç’de ise orta derecede ikâyeti olan hastalar&n %54’nün istatistiksel
olarak önemli oranda yüksek dental anksiyete düzeyine sahip oldu?u bulundu. Ek olarak, hem durumluk hem de sürekli anksiyete aç&s&ndan en yüksek ortalamalar&n bu hastalarda oldu?u tespit edildi. Pearson Korelasyon analizi dental anksiyete ile sürekli anksiyete aras&nda istatistiksel olarak çok önemli düzeyde pozitif bir iliki oldu?unu gösterdi. Sonuçlar, önemli veya orta derecede memnuniyetsiz olunan unsurun alt tam protezin çi?neme kabiliyeti oldu?unu, bununla birlikte, bu hastalar&n en yüksek dental, durumluk ve sürekli anksiyete ortalamas&na sahip oldu?unu gösterdi. Dental anksiyete ile sürekli anksiyete düzeyleri aras&nda, her iki hasta grubunda da, çok önemli düzeyde pozitif bir iliki oldu?u tespit edildi.
