AB - This study was conducted to find out the relationship between dental anxiety and self-efficacy,
physical and psychological condition and expected self-efficacy. The objective of this study was also
to provide foundation for appropriate dental hygiene intervention model for scaling. In this study,
anxiety reactions were measured among 178 patients, who made appointment with dental hygienists
for scaling between May and July, 2009. The analysis was done in SPSS 12.0 statistical program
which confirmed Cranach’s alpha value. Technical statistics, t-test and One-way ANOVA, correlation
and regression were also used. The result of the study is following:
While dental hygienist conducts scaling, the dental anxiety was each measured in following categories:
Thus male, age between 40 and 50, single, high school graduated and unemployed were measured
highest dental anxiety among various groups.
Dental Fear Scale demonstrated the validity of relationship between dental anxiety and self efficacy.
The correlation was equated as r=-.409(p<0.01). In the other words, the higher self efficacy, the
lower dental anxiety. The relationship between dental anxiety and physical and physiological condition
was relevant. Physical condition was r=-.229(p<0.01) And then, the psychological condition
was r=-.299(p<0.01). Thus, better physical and physiological condition results in less dental anxiety.
The relationship between expected Self-efficacy and dental anxiety is also valid. The dental anxi-ety after performance accomplishment is r=-.239(p<0.01), after vicarious experience is r=-.195(p
<0.01), after verbal persuasion is r=-.152(p<0.05), after recognition of physiological state is r=-
.410(p<0.01).
In conclusion, sex, age, marital status, education level, employment, physical condition, physiological
condition are all relevant to dental anxiety(F=8.834). Both independent and dependent variables
p<.05 have 37.5% persuasiveness.
