Abstract

Purpose: Anxiety of dentist and dental treatment are quite common problem in general population. Cognitive factors, such as negative thinking, beliefs and expectations about dental treatment are important moderators to be associated with dental anxiety. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability, validity and psychometric characteristics of the Turkish translation of The Dental Cognition Questionnaire (DCQ) that assess the cognitive factors related to dental anxiety Material and Methods: In this study, 177 randomly selected medical students of the University of Istanbul were included. The Dental Cognition Questionnaire, The State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Trait), The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) were administered to all the participants. The general information form was used to obtain socio- demographic data. All participants again completed the scale after two weeks for test-retest. Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson correlation coefficient and t-test methods were conducted, percentage, mean and standard deviation values were calculated. Results: The mean DCQ-F scores were 11, 45± 7, 27; the mean DCQ-B scores were 52, 51± 30,21. No significant difference was found between women and men groups in terms of the means DCQ-F and DCQ-B (p>0,05). There were significant correlation (Pearson) between DCQ-F and STAI- Trait (p

Özet

Amaç: Diş hekiminden ya da tedavisinden anksiyete duyma toplumda yaygın görülen bir problemdir. Teda- viye ilişkin olumsuz düşünceler, inanç ve beklentiler gibi bilişsel faktörler dental anksiyete ile ilişkili olabilecek önemli belirleyicilerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dental anksiyete ile ilgili bilişsel faktörleri değerlen- diren Diş Hekimliği Uygulamalarına İlişkin Bilişler Ölçeği (DBÖ)’nin Türkçe versiyonunun psikometrik özelliklerini ve geçerlilik, güvenirliğini saptamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören 177 öğrenci oluştur- muştur. Tüm katılımcılara Diş Hekimliği Uygulama- larına İlişkin Bilişler Ölçeği (DBÖ), Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği (STAI-A) ve Modifiye Edilmiş Diş Anksiyetesi Ölçeği (M-DAS) uygulanmıştır. Sosyodemografik veriler genel bilgi formu ile alınmıştır Katılımcıların tamamı test- tekrar test kapsamında iki hafta sonra yeniden ölçekleri doldurmuştur. Verilerin analizinde Cronbach alfa, Pearson momentler çarpımı bağıntı katsayısı ve t- testi yöntemleri kullanılmış, yüzde, ortalama ve standart sapma değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: DBÖ-F ortalaması 11,45± 7,27 ve DBÖ-B ortalaması 52,51± 30,21’di, kadın ve erkek grupları arasında DBÖ-F ve DBÖ-B ortalaması açısından anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05). DBÖ-F ölçeği ile SKÖ (p
