The Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) is a commonly used questionnaire which measures children's dental fear.
The aim of this study was to gather data to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Greek version of the CFSS-DS.
A sample of 260 children aged 4-12 completed the Greek version of the CFSS-DS while in the waiting room of a paediatric dentist. The dentist, who was unaware of the children's scores, rated the children's behaviour during the dental appointment using the Frankl scale. Children who returned for a second dental appointment during the study period completed the CFSS-DS a second time.
The mean CFSS-DS score was 24.80 (standard deviation = 9.17). Age and gender were not related to mean scores. Invasiveness of dental treatment was not related to mean scores. Children who were most uncooperative/fearful on the Frankl had the highest mean scores (Kruskal-Wallis chi2 = 9.48; d.f. = 2; P = 0.009). The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.85, and the test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation) was 0.74.
The Greek version of the CFSS-DS appears to be reliable and valid. Further samples should include school samples, to include children who may not go to the dentist.
儿童恐惧调查表 - 牙科分量表（CFSS - DS）是一种常用的用于测量儿童牙科恐惧的问卷。
本研究的目的是收集数据以评估CFSS - DS希腊语版本的心理测量特性。
260名4至12岁的儿童在儿科牙医的候诊室完成了CFSS - DS希腊语版本的问卷。牙医在不知道儿童得分的情况下，使用弗兰克尔量表对儿童在看牙过程中的行为进行评分。在研究期间回来进行第二次看牙的儿童再次完成了CFSS - DS问卷。
CFSS - DS的平均得分为24.80（标准差 = 9.17）。年龄和性别与平均分无关。牙科治疗的侵入性与平均分无关。在弗兰克尔量表上最不合作/最恐惧的儿童平均分最高（Kruskal - Wallis卡方 = 9.48；自由度 = 2；P = 0.009）。内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数）为0.85，重测信度（组内相关系数）为0.74。
CFSS - DS希腊语版本似乎可靠且有效。进一步的样本应包括学校样本，以纳入可能不去看牙医的儿童。
