ENDODONTİ HASTALARINDA TEDAVİ ÖNCESİ DURUMLUK KAYGI: KÖK KANAL TEDAVİSİ BAĞLAMINDA BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir diş sağlığı merkezine kök kanal tedavisi için başvuran hastalarda, tedavi öncesi durumluk kaygı düzeyini ve bunu etkileyen bazı sosyo-demografik değişkenleri belirleyerek, kaygıyı gidermek için çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Katılımın gönüllülük esasına göre belirlendiği bu çalışmada, endodonti hastalarına 125 anket formu dağıtılmış olup, tamamı geri dönmüştür. Ancak, eksiksiz doldurulan 112 anket formu çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bazı sosyo-demografik özelliklerine göre gruplandırılan hastaların tedavi öncesi durumluk kaygı düzeylerindeki farklılıklar incelenmiştir. Hastaların tedavi öncesi durumluk kaygı düzeyini ölçmek için ‘Spielberger DurumlukSürekli Kaygı Envanteri (STAI)-Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği (STAI-S)’ kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların tedavi öncesi durumluk kaygı düzeyleri (Ort=1.9429, S=0.49392), kesme (cut-off) değerine (2.25) göre düşük bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri açısından tedavi öncesi durumluk kaygı düzeyleri arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Bulgular doğrultusunda gereken değerlendirmeler yapılarak, endodontik kök kanal tedavisi öncesi hastanın durumluk kaygı düzeyini azaltmada yararlanılabilecek çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.

Pre-Treatment State Anxiety in Endodontic Patients: An Evaluation in the Context of Root Canal Treatment

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study is to propose solutions to relieve the anxiety in patients who applied for root canal therapy in a dental center by determining the level of state anxiety and
affecting sociodemographic variables before treatment. Materials and Method: In this study where the contribution was voluntarily, 125 questionnaires were distributed and all returned back. However, 112 questionnaires which were filled totally were included in the analysis. The differences in pre-treatment state anxiety level were analysed in patients grouped by their sociodemographic characteristics. Spielberger StateTrait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S) was used to measure the state anxiety level of the patients.
Results: State anxiety level of the patients (Mean= 1.9429; S=0.49392) was found low compared to the cut-off value (2.25). There was no significant difference in state anxiety level of the patients according to their sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusion: Evaluating the results of the study we proposed suggestions in resolving the state anxiety of the patients before endodontic root canal therapy.
