The study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Romanian version of short form of Fear of Dental Pain questionnaire (s-FDPQ), modified by adding an item about dental implant insertion.
The design of the study was cross-sectional. Data were collected through an online questionnaire completed by university students, administered from January to March 2024. The survey included information about past dental treatments, the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), and items of s-FDPQ.
186 participants were included in the study. The Romanian version of the modified s-FDPQ had a good reliability Sperman-Brown coefficient is 0.878, and Cronbach alpha is 0.92. The questionnaire had a good convergent validity, with all items being moderately correlated with the DAS score. The one-factor model was tested and has a good fit according to the confirmatory factor analysis. The participants were afraid of pain mostly regarding having a wisdom tooth extracted or a dental implant inserted. A statistically significant higher fear of dental pain was observed in those who did not previously have a root canal treatment (p=0.008) and in those who had dental implants in the past (p=0.046). Those attending regular dental check-ups had lower levels of fear of dental pain.
The Romanian version of s-FDPQ, modified by adding a question about dental implant insertion, has good reliability and validity. Fear of dental pain seemed to be influenced by features of dental procedures and previous dental experience.
本研究旨在测试罗马尼亚语版的简化牙科疼痛恐惧问卷（s-FDPQ）的有效性和可靠性，该问卷通过添加一项关于种植牙植入的内容进行了修改。
本研究采用横断面设计。数据通过2024年1月至3月由大学生完成的在线问卷收集。调查包括过去牙科治疗的信息、牙科焦虑量表（DAS）以及s-FDPQ的项目。
186名参与者纳入本研究。修改后的罗马尼亚语版s-FDPQ具有良好的信度，斯皮尔曼-布朗系数为0.878，克朗巴赫α系数为0.92。该问卷具有良好的收敛效度，所有项目与DAS得分均呈中度相关。单因素模型经检验，根据验证性因素分析具有良好的拟合度。参与者主要害怕拔除智齿或植入种植牙时的疼痛。在之前未进行过根管治疗的人群（p = 0.008）和过去有种植牙经历的人群（p = 0.046）中，观察到对牙科疼痛的恐惧在统计学上显著更高。定期进行牙科检查的人对牙科疼痛的恐惧程度较低。
通过添加关于种植牙植入的问题进行修改的罗马尼亚语版s-FDPQ具有良好的信度和效度。对牙科疼痛的恐惧似乎受到牙科手术特点和既往牙科经历的影响。
