Abstract

Objective: People’s color preferences have been a subject of research and curiosity for many years. Among the methods aimed at minimizing such fears in children is the careful selection of colors in the environment in order to prevent individuals from developing negative feelings. The present study evaluates the association between colors and anxiety in a pediatric dental patient population aged 7–14 through a quantitative test. Material and Methods: The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), the faces version of Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDAS-f) and the quick version of the Lüscher Color Test (LCT), respectively, were administered to 65 patients and 48 age and sex matched controls while in the waiting room before treatment. Results: The MCDAS-f and STAIC state scale scores were significantly and moderately correlated with the LCT scores, while there was no statistically significant correlation between the STAIC trait and the LCT scores. The mean LCT score was 6.06±2.85 in the patient group and 3.22±2.21 in controls (p

Özet

Amaç: İnsanların renk tercihleri uzun yıllardır araştırma ve merak konusu olmuştur. Çocuklarda olumsuz duyguların gelişmesini önlemek ve bu tür korkuları en aza indirmek amacıyla kullanılan yöntemler arasında, ortam- da kullanılan renklerin dikkatli seçilmesi yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 7-14 yaş arası çocuk hasta grubunda, renklerin anksiyete üzerinde- ki etkisinin nicel bir test olan Luscher testi ile değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ağız ve diş muayenesi yapılacak olan 65 çocuk hasta- ya muayene öncesinde, Çocuklar için Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri (STAIC), Modifiye Çocuk Diş Anksiyete Yüz Skalası (MCDAS-f) ve Lüscher Renk Testi (LCT) yapılmıştır. Tedavi yapılmayacak 48 hasta da kontrol grubu olarak belirlenmiş ve aynı testler bu hastalara da uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: MCDAS(f) ve STAIC testlerinin ölçüm değerleri, LCT değerleri ile anlamlı ve orta düzeyde korelasyon gösterirken, STAIC ile LCT verileri ara- sında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunamamıştır. Ortalama LCT skoru hasta grubunda 6.06±2.85 iken ve kontrol grubunda 3.22±2.21 olduğu kaydedilmiştir (p< 0.001). Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, çocuk diş hekimliğinde anksiyete ile renk tercihleri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran önceki çalışmaların aksine, çocukların diş muayenesi ve tedavisi sırasında tercih ettikleri renklerin, diş kliniği ortamı ve tıbbi kıyafetlerde kullanılması gereken renklerden ziyade ruh hallerini yansıtan renkler olduğunu desteklemektedir.
