Abstract

AIMS

The aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), and a combined self-modified version of these scales and Dental Fear and Anxiety Scale (DFAS). We also aimed to assess the impact of dental fear and anxiety among Arabic-speaking 12-15-year-old Saudi students on their quality of life by correlating MDAS, DAS, and DFAS scores with other demographic data.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 individuals (250 male and 250 female) in Riyadh city using a questionnaire. An unpaired -test was used to check the mean difference between anxiety score among males and females, and one-way analysis of variance was used to check the mean difference between percentage anxiety score among different visit groups. Scheffe test was used to check the pairwise difference between the groups, and Cronbach's alpha was used to measure internal consistency of the questionnaire.

RESULTS

Overall mean percentage DAS score was 51.1640 + 6.87358 and 55.2080 + 8.52805 for male and females, respectively. The overall mean percentage MDAS score was 51.6640 + 10.9478 and 58.3200 + 11.62990 for males and females, respectively. The overall mean total score was found to be 64.4080 + 11.80776 and 100.4680 + 12.34840 for males and females, respectively. All the above results were statistically significant by 5% ( < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha score for MDAS and DAS was found to be 0.843 and it was 0.960 for DFAS. It was found that removal of any item would have decreased the overall consistency, which indicated a high level of internal consistency for our scales.

CONCLUSION

Saudi Arabian version of Arabic version of MDAS, DAS and DFAS have shown high validity and reliability, and can be used to assess the dental patient's anxiety and fear.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在测试阿拉伯语版改良牙科焦虑量表（MDAS）、牙科焦虑量表（DAS）、这两个量表的综合自我修改版以及牙科恐惧与焦虑量表（DFAS）的信度和效度。我们还旨在通过将MDAS、DAS和DFAS得分与其他人口统计学数据相关联，评估说阿拉伯语的12至15岁沙特学生的牙科恐惧和焦虑对其生活质量的影响。

材料与方法

在利雅得市对500人（250名男性和250名女性）进行了一项横断面研究，使用问卷调查。采用非配对t检验来检验男性和女性焦虑得分的平均差异，采用单因素方差分析来检验不同就诊组焦虑得分百分比的平均差异。使用谢费检验来检验组间的两两差异，使用克朗巴赫α系数来测量问卷的内部一致性。

结果

男性和女性的DAS总体平均得分百分比分别为51.1640 + 6.87358和55.2080 + 8.52805。男性和女性的MDAS总体平均得分百分比分别为51.6640 + 10.9478和58.3200 + 11.62990。男性和女性的总体平均总分分别为64.4080 + 11.80776和100.4680 + 12.34840。上述所有结果在5%水平上具有统计学意义（P < 0.001）。MDAS和DAS的克朗巴赫α系数为0.843，DFAS的为0.960。发现去除任何一项都会降低总体一致性，这表明我们的量表具有较高的内部一致性。
