Many people experience varying levels of discomfort when confronted with the prospect of dental treatment. Dental treatment can be a traumatic experience, especially for children and adolescents with dental anxiety. In this age group, dental fear causes a significant problem in dental management and has been related to severe dental caries and dental pain. The Dental Fear Survey ( DFS ) is the most widely used measure of dental fear. This study was undertaken to develop the Korean version of the DFS ( K-DFS ) and test its reliability and validity.
The K-DFS, which uses projective techniques to measure children's and adolescents' dental fear, was developed. The DFS was translated into Korean and participants were selected via convenience sampling. Reliability and validity were tested using data from a sample of 813 middle school students in Gyeonggi Province, selected from the Self questionnaire survey. The K-DFS was administered twice to 102 adolescents aged 12-15 years.
The K-DFS had high internal consistency reliability (99.1%) but low test-retest reliability.
The results indicate that the Korean versions of the DFS have good internal consistency reliabilities and test-retest validities. However, we need to further examine the test-retest reliability of the K-DFS and replicate the current study in different samples covering various age groups.
许多人在面对牙科治疗时会经历不同程度的不适。牙科治疗可能是一次创伤性经历，尤其是对于有牙科焦虑的儿童和青少年。在这个年龄组中，牙科恐惧在牙科治疗管理中造成了重大问题，并且与严重龋齿和牙痛有关。牙科恐惧调查（DFS）是最广泛使用的牙科恐惧测量方法。本研究旨在开发DFS的韩语版本（K-DFS）并测试其信度和效度。
开发了使用投射技术来测量儿童和青少年牙科恐惧的K-DFS。将DFS翻译成韩语，并通过便利抽样选择参与者。使用来自京畿道813名中学生样本的数据进行信度和效度测试，这些数据选自自我问卷调查。对102名12至15岁的青少年进行了两次K-DFS测试。
K-DFS具有较高的内部一致性信度（99.1%），但重测信度较低。
结果表明，DFS的韩语版本具有良好的内部一致性信度和重测效度。然而，我们需要进一步研究K-DFS的重测信度，并在涵盖不同年龄组的不同样本中重复当前研究。
