Fear to visit a dentist is a common observation even in adults; however, among children it becomes one of the most important issues for a dentist. Psychographic analysis of the factors that add to fear level of the children can be accessed through Children fear survey schedule-dental subscale (CFSS-DS); however, its varied applicability in different environmental situations has been tested through this paper.
The aim of present study is to evaluate the reliability and factor structure of the Indian version of the CFSS-DS.
The routine patients attending Outpatient Department of Pedodontics with Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dental Sciences, Lucknow, India (n=197, aged 7-12 years old) were evaluated for children's fear survey schedule-dental subscale which was filled by parents on behalf of the child.
Reliability analysis (alpha) was performed to assess the internal consistency of the Indian translation of the scale. Factor analysis (principle components, varimax rotation) was employed to assess the factor structure.
Children fear survey scale-dental subscale was found to be equally reliable (Cronbach alpha = 0.92) and applicable among Indian subjects. However, factorization revealed emergence of 1) hospital, injections and hospital personnel, 2) drilling and interaction with unknown, 3) dental care personnel and practices.
The present study extended the universal applicability of children fear survey schedule -dental subscale, while at the same time it was able to highlight different facets of problem in different environments.
即使在成年人中，害怕看牙医也是常见现象；然而，在儿童中，这成为牙医面临的最重要问题之一。可通过儿童恐惧调查问卷 - 牙科分量表（CFSS - DS）对增加儿童恐惧程度的因素进行心理特征分析；然而，本文已测试了其在不同环境情况下的多种适用性。
本研究的目的是评估CFSS - DS印度版本的信度和因子结构。
对印度勒克瑙牙科学院儿童牙科学与预防牙科学门诊部的常规患者（n = 197，年龄7 - 12岁）进行儿童恐惧调查问卷 - 牙科分量表评估，由家长代表孩子填写。
进行信度分析（α系数）以评估该量表印度语翻译版的内部一致性。采用因子分析（主成分分析，方差最大化旋转）来评估因子结构。
发现儿童恐惧调查量表 - 牙科分量表同样可靠（Cronbach α = 0.92）且适用于印度受试者。然而，因子分析显示出现了1）医院、注射和医院工作人员，2）钻孔和与陌生人互动，3）牙科护理人员及操作。
本研究扩展了儿童恐惧调查问卷 - 牙科分量表的普遍适用性，同时能够突出不同环境中问题的不同方面。
