BACKGROUND
The current study aimed to assess the anxiety and fear levels and the attitude towards clinical care, such as the use of personal protective equipment and number of patients examined, before and after COVID-19 vaccination among Turkish dental professionals.
METHODS
A questionnaire including socio-demographical characteristics and clinical data regarding the number of patients, the use of personal protective equipment, vaccine confidence interval, positive or negative COVID-19 diagnosis, and fear and anxiety levels were examined.
RESULTS
A total of 475 dentists (196 men and 279 women) participated. Overall, the vaccination had a positive effect on the decrease of fear and anxiety levels of dental professionals. It was observed that the number of interventional procedures significantly increased after vaccination. Besides that, the amount of personal protective equipment used in patients, especially after the vaccination, has decreased.
CONCLUSION
Despite the positive effects of vaccination on the anxiety levels of dental professionals, protective measurements should further be the main concern, regardless of the vaccination status of both the dental professional and the patient.
背景
本研究旨在评估土耳其牙科专业人员在接种 COVID-19 疫苗前后的焦虑和恐惧水平，以及对临床护理（如使用个人防护设备和检查的患者人数）的态度。
方法
问卷调查包括社会人口统计学特征和临床数据，如患者人数、使用个人防护设备、疫苗置信区间、COVID-19 阳性或阴性诊断以及恐惧和焦虑水平。
结果
共有 475 名牙医（196 名男性和 279 名女性）参与。总体而言，接种疫苗对牙科专业人员的恐惧和焦虑水平下降有积极影响。接种疫苗后，干预性手术的数量明显增加。此外，在患者中使用的个人防护设备数量，尤其是在接种疫苗后，有所减少。
结论
尽管接种疫苗对牙科专业人员的焦虑水平有积极影响，但无论牙科专业人员和患者的疫苗接种状况如何，保护措施都应进一步成为主要关注点。
