The Relationship between Pediatric Patients' Anxiety Levels During Dental and Oral Care and Treatment Success at RSGM-P Nala Husada
Main Article Content
Abstract
Anxiety in children can significantly impact the dental treatment process, making it essential to understand the factors contributing to this anxiety and its effects on treatment outcomes. This study explores the relationship between the level of anxiety in pediatric patients during dental care and the success of treatment at the Nala Husada Dental and Oral Health Teaching Hospital (RSGM-P). The study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 35 children aged 6-12 years who underwent dental treatment at RSGM-P Nala Husada. Anxiety levels were measured using the CFSS-DS method, with scores ranging from 15 to 45, categorized into three levels: very anxious, anxious, and not anxious. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman correlation test to examine the relationship between anxiety levels and treatment success. The results showed that the majority of pediatric patients had low levels of anxiety (54.3% not anxious), and the treatment success rate was 71.4%. The correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between anxiety levels and treatment success (Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05), indicating that lower anxiety levels are associated with higher success rates in pediatric dental care. This study underscores the importance of managing anxiety in children to improve dental treatment outcomes, as well as the crucial role of effective communication between dentists and pediatric patients in reducing anxiety.
