To evaluate the association between stress and periodontitis in different professional college students.
The study was conducted in 360 professional college students which includes Medical, Dental, Pharmacy, Nursing, Engineering, and Chartered Accountancy. From each group, 60 students were included in the study. Self-reported Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale questionnaire was given to all the students and clinical examination was conducted in all the participants to assess the Oral hygiene index - simplified (OHI-S), clinical attachment level (CAL), and Gingival Index Simplified (GI-S).
Statistics was performed using the ANOVA test, test, and Pearson correlation test to compare the psychological parameter of stress with periodontal parameters among six groups of students. <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Group I showed higher mean stress scores (10.78 ± 0.76) compared to other groups. The mean OHI-S (1.61 ± 0.15), mean CAL (3.68 ± 0.79), and mean GI-S (1.43 ± 0.15) scores also increased with elevated stress levels among medical students. Followed by Group VI and Group II showed almost similar results.
The present study showed strong association between stress and periodontal disease and have an adverse effect over oral hygiene factors among the students.
评估不同专业大学生的压力与牙周炎之间的关联。
该研究对360名专业大学生进行，包括医学、牙科、药学、护理、工程和特许会计师专业。每组纳入60名学生。向所有学生发放自填式抑郁、焦虑和压力量表问卷，并对所有参与者进行临床检查，以评估简化口腔卫生指数（OHI-S）、临床附着水平（CAL）和简化牙龈指数（GI-S）。
采用方差分析、检验和Pearson相关检验进行统计，以比较六组学生中压力的心理参数与牙周参数。P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
与其他组相比，第一组的平均压力得分更高（10.78±0.76）。随着医学生压力水平的升高，平均OHI-S（1.61±0.15）、平均CAL（3.68±0.79）和平均GI-S（1.43±0.15）得分也有所增加。其次是第六组，第二组显示出几乎相似的结果。
本研究表明压力与牙周疾病之间存在密切关联，并且对学生的口腔卫生因素有不利影响。
