An 8-question Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale was developed to assess children's concerns about specific dental procedures. These dental situations include examination, scale and polish, injection, filling, extraction, and relative and general anaesthesia. A question about how the child felt generally when visiting the dentist was also included. Children (n = 314) from two schools in Liverpool, ages 8 to 15 years, completed a questionnaire including the modified scale, Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale, the Dental Fear Survey Schedule for Children, and background questions (age, sex and previous dental experience). The internal consistency was favourable (alpha = .84) and test-retest reliability acceptable. This initial study suggests that the scale may be useful in trials to assess the benefits of interventions to assist children receive dental treatment.
开发了一个包含8个问题的儿童牙科焦虑量表修订版，以评估儿童对特定牙科程序的担忧。这些牙科情况包括检查、洗牙和抛光、注射、补牙、拔牙以及局部和全身麻醉。还包括一个关于孩子看牙医时总体感受的问题。来自利物浦两所学校的314名8至15岁儿童完成了一份问卷，其中包括修订后的量表、科拉牙科焦虑量表、儿童牙科恐惧调查问卷以及背景问题（年龄、性别和以前的牙科经历）。内部一致性良好（α = 0.84），重测信度可接受。这项初步研究表明，该量表可能有助于评估帮助儿童接受牙科治疗的干预措施效果的试验。
