The Authors evaluate the influence of illness behaviour (measured by IBQ) on patients' delay in seeking dental treatment for caries or periodontal pathology, and the relationship with anxiety (measured by STAI) and with social--demographic and clinical data. One hundred patients were studied. Delay in coming for a dental visit is influenced by family habit, level of education and fear experienced. The 'late' patients present significantly higher scores for denial on the IBQ. More serious pathology is in relation with greater denial. Anxiety is positively correlated with the IBQ scales dysphoria, hypochondria, disease conviction, irritability and inversely with denial.
作者评估疾病行为（通过疾病行为问卷[IBQ]测量）对患者因龋齿或牙周病变寻求牙科治疗延迟的影响，以及与焦虑（通过状态-特质焦虑量表[STAI]测量）、社会人口统计学和临床数据的关系。研究了100名患者。就诊延迟受家庭习惯、教育水平和所经历恐惧的影响。“延迟就诊”的患者在IBQ上的否认得分显著更高。更严重的病变与更高的否认程度相关。焦虑与IBQ量表中的烦躁不安、疑病症、疾病确信、易怒呈正相关，与否认呈负相关。
