Several tools have been developed for the measurement of emotional status of the child in paediatric dental clinics including nonverbal self-report techniques. Subjective methods like drawing and Child Drawing: Hospital (CD:H) score have recently been applied in hospitalized children. Studies, however, have not attempted to analyse children's drawings as an aid to investigate the subjective feelings of children in paediatric dental settings.
To assess drawing as a measure for child's distress in paediatric dental settings.
Fifty-four children, aged 4-11 years, participated in this study. After finishing the first therapeutic session, the child was instructed to draw a picture of a person in a dental clinic. The pictures were scored using CD:H score sheet and the findings were compared with SEM and Frankl scores.
CD:H was correlated with both Frankl (correlation coefficient = -0.550) and SEM (correlation coefficient = +0.483) scales (P < 0.001).
Drawing is a useful measure of children's emotional status in dental settings in a way that is easier, familiar and more enjoyable for the child patient.
儿科牙科诊所已经开发出几种用于测量儿童情绪状态的工具,包括非言语自我报告技术。最近,在住院儿童中应用了主观方法,如绘画和儿童绘画:医院(CD:H)评分。然而,这些研究并没有试图分析孩子们的绘画,以帮助调查儿科牙科环境中孩子们的主观感受。
评估绘画作为儿科牙科环境中衡量儿童痛苦的一种方法。
54 名年龄在 4-11 岁的儿童参与了这项研究。在完成第一次治疗后,孩子被指示在牙科诊所画一幅画。使用 CD:H 评分表对图片进行评分,并将结果与 SEM 和 Frankl 评分进行比较。
CD:H 与 Frankl(相关系数=-0.550)和 SEM(相关系数=+0.483)量表相关(P<0.001)。
绘画是一种有用的衡量儿童在牙科环境中情绪状态的方法,对患儿来说,这种方法更简单、熟悉和愉快。
