Abstract (english)
Objectives: Dental anxiety is a common problem and a great challenge for many patients, but also for dentists - the treatment of anxious patients is considered to be one of the most stressful situations for dentists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental anxiety among the students of the University of Rijeka and to detect possible differences in the level of anxiety among students of different study programs. Participants and methods: This cross-sectional study included 290 students from different faculties of the University of Rijeka (Faculty of Law, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dental Medicine), 73 (25.17%) male and 217 (74.83%) female students. The study was conducted online via The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) in 2020 and sampling was based on voluntary responses. The Student’s t-test and ANOVA were used to compare differences in MDAS scores among students. Results: There is a significant difference in dental anxiety levels between students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Faculty of Dental Medicine (MDAS=11.32±4.11, MDAS=8.84±3.03, p=0.01), and also between students from the Faculty of Law and Faculty of Dental Medicine (MDAS=11.47±4.64, MDAS=8.84±3.03, p <0.01). Conclusions: This research showed that non-dental students have a higher level of dental anxiety than dental students. Sufficient knowledge of dental and oral health could potentially overcome dental fear and anxiety. Therefore, there is a need to provide additional dental education throughout the university curriculum.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj istraživanja: Dentalna anksioznost problem je i veliki izazov za mnoge pacijente, ali i za doktore dentalne medicine. Naime, liječenje anksioznih pacijenata smatra se jednom od najstresnijih situacija kad je riječ o doktorima dentalne medicine. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti učestalost dentalne anksioznosti među studentima Sveučilišta u Rijeci i otkriti moguće razlike u razini anksioznosti među studentima različitih studijskih programa. Ispitanici i metode: Ovo presječno istraživanje obuhvatilo je 290 studenata s različitih fakulteta Sveučilišta u Rijeci (Pravni fakultet, Filozofski fakultet, Tehnički fakultet, Medicinski fakultet, Fakultet dentalne medicine). Njih 73 (25,17 %) bilo je muškog spola, a 217 (74,83 %) ženskoga. Istraživanje je provedeno online 2020. godine na temelju modificirane ljestvice dentalne anksioznosti (MDAS). Za usporedbu razlika u MDAS rezultatima između studenata korišteni su Studentov t-test i ANOVA. Rezultati: Pronađena je statistički značajna razlika u razinama dentalne anksioznosti između studenata s Filozofskog fakulteta i Fakulteta dentalne medicine (MDAS = 11,32 ± 4,11, MDAS = 8,84 ± 3,03, p= 0,01), te onih s Pravnog fakulteta i Fakulteta dentalne medicine (MDAS = 11,47 ± 4,64, MDAS = 8,84 ± 3,03, p < 0,01). Zaključci: Ovo istraživanje pokazalo je da studenti koji ne studiraju dentalnu medicinu imaju višu razinu dentalne anksioznosti u usporedbi sa studentima dentalne medicine. Dovoljno znanje o dentalnome i oralnome zdravlju moglo bi prevladati strah i anksioznost povezane sa stomatološkim zahvatima. Zato je u sveučilišni kurikul potrebno uvrstiti dodatnu dentalnu edukaciju.
