Objectives: This study aims to investigate degree of scaling fear (Fear when scaling: FWS, Fear from dental hygienist unbelief: FFDHU, and Fear after scaling: FAS) in college students. Methods: 113 students were recruited for the study in Daegu Health College between March and June of 2017. Frequency table of general characteristics was generated, and then the t-test and ANOVA (scheffes's post hoct) were used to analyze the differences between scaling fear and two or three groups of variables. Results: Mean scores of scaling fear in 113 students were 2.24 (FWS), 1.76 (FFDHU), and 1.76 (FAS). Score 2.48 of female's scaling fear (FWS) was significantly higher than men's 2.02 (p<0.05). Smokers who have smoked less than 3 years (2.56) (FWS) were lower than those who have smoked over 3 years (1.55) (p<0.01). Score of students want the explanation of scaling when scaling (1.94) (FWS) were significantly higher than those who does not (1.59) (p<0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that there were gender and smoking periods when scaling to effect a score of scaling fear.

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate Korean scaling fear (KSF)-1.1 and related factors in scaling patients. Methods : The subjects were 314 scaling patients in 7 dental clinics in Daegu from April to June, 2013. Data were analyzed for simple frequency rate, t-test and ANOVA(Sheffes's post hoc) for the identification of the differences between KSF-1.1 and variables. Multiple regression was analyzed for the impact of independent variable on the score of KSF-1.1. Results : Mean score of KSF-1.1 in 314 scaling patients was 2.60. Female patients (2.71) had a higher score than male (2.47) (p<0.01). Those who didn't get a regular dental check up(2.87) tended to have higher fear level than those who had regular checkup (2.46) (p<0.001). Those who experienced dental pain (2.90) had significantly higher score than those who had not (2.46) (p<0.001). There was a significant difference between three groups (yes 3.03, ordinary 2.79, and no 2.42) in scaling (p<0.001) and financial burden (p<0.001). Variables associated with score of KSF-1.1 were gender(${\beta}$=0.21, p<0.05), waiting time for scaling(${\beta}$=0.24, p<0.01) and financial burden (${\beta}$=0.22, p<0.02) by multiple regression analysis. Conclusions : The influencing factors of scaling were gender, financial burden, waiting time for scaling that may effect on a score of KSF-1.1.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for Korean Scaling Fear (KSF)-1.1 in scaling patients. Methods : 402 sample size for scaling patients was studied in Daegu city in July and August of 2011. Mean and standard deviation was calculated in 3 dimensions(FWS: fear while scaling, DDH: distrust on dental hygienist, FAS: fear after scaling). Results : Age of 402 subjects was 36.5 years. In analyzing reliability for item-level, a range of correlation coefficient(${\alpha}$) on item-internal consistency(FWS, DDH, and FAS) was 0.58~0.88(${\alpha}$=0.90), 0.40~0.71(${\alpha}$=0.82), and 0.54~0.63(${\alpha}$=0.82), respectively. Floor(%) and ceiling(%) value on 3 dimensions were also 9.2% and 4.0%, 12.4% and 0.5%, and 17.7% and 1.2%, respectively, therefore, we found statistically high reliability for those(p<0.001). With explanatory factor analysis, this study could generate 3 dimensions(factor 1, eigenvalue 5.41, proportion 0.49; factor 2, eigenvalue 1.50, proportion 0.14; factor 3, eigenvalue 1.04, proportion 0.09) and 11 sub-scales. Also confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the KSF1.1 model was fitted very well in analysis of model fit($x^2$=112.94, df=41, p=0.000; goodness of fit index=0.95; adjusted goodness of fit index=0.92; root mean square residual=0.057). Conclusions : In conclusion, The findings of this study showed that developed reliable and valid instrument for measuring the KSF1.1 in the scaling patients.

본 연구는 일개 대학 치위생과에 스켈링을 받으러 내원한 환자를 대상으로 스켈링 전과 후의 불안 및 공포와 vital sign 변화를 알아보기 위해 2015년 8월부터 11월까지 실시되었다. 자기기입식 설문지 작성과 Vital Sign을 측정하여 진행하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 불안 및 공포에 대한 항목 중 '마취용 주사바늘을 볼 때 두려움을 느낀다.'가 가장 높은 점수를 보였으며, 스케일링 전과 후에 각각 2.84점, 2.51점으로 조사되었다. 스케일링 전 맥박은 분당 77.48회에서 스케일링 후 분당 74.36회, 혈압은 스케일링 전 수축기 혈압이 124.86mmHg에서 122.34mmHg로 유의하게 감소하였다. 스케일링 전과 후의 불안 및 공포와 Vital Sign 변수들 간의 상관관계는 모두 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압이 가장 높은 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 일반적 특성에 따른 불안의 경우 스케일링 전에 여자는 2.40점, 남자는 1.86점, 스케일링 후에는 여자 2.16점, 남자 1.65점으로 각각 조사되었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 Vital Sign의 경우 스케일링 전 수축기혈압이 남자가 133.59mmHg, 여자가 118.31mmHg으로 조사되었으며, 스케일링 후에는 수축기혈압이 남자가 129.36mmHg, 여자가 117.87mmHg으로 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 연령에 따른 Vital Sign은 스케일링 후의 이완기 혈압의 경우 10대 69.63mmHg, 20대 76.48mmHg, 30대 이상은 79.29mmHg으로 연령이 증가할수록 이완기 혈압이 상승하는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과를 정리해보면 스케일링 전과 후의 불안 및 공포와 Vital Sign은 변화가 있으며, 성별, 거주지, 연령 직업 등이 불안과 Vital Sign 변화에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구를 바탕으로 치과에 방문하는 환자들의 불안과 공포를 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
