COVID-19 Pandemisinin Diş Hekimliği Hastaları Üzerine Etkisinin Path Analizi Kullanılarak Değerlendirilmesi
Öz
Background: During the pandemic, which continues all over the world and progresses in Turkey, it is a priority to understand patients’ knowledge level concerning this contagious disease and understand patients’ attitude during their dental problems and also level of anxiety that could cause misbehavior. This study aims to synthesize and analyze existing evidence on the level of knowledge, awareness as to COVID-19, anxiety, and depression of Turkish dental patients.
Methods: This survey consisting of 32 questions included demographic information, knowledge about COVID-19, the awareness of the importance of COVID-19 in dental treatments, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The survey was performed from September 20, 2021 to January 20, 2021 on a voluntary basis, and 837 participants responded all the questions in the survey. Path analysis was used to evaluate the relations of variables. Chi-Square tests were used to evaluate qualitative data. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05.
Results: COVID-19 knowledge level was determined as 92.85 ± 11.47 (100) (min ± SD). 97.3 % of the patients (n=814) reported that they wanted to reach their doctor in case of emergency toothache. 4.2 % (n= 35) reported that they did not know what to do for emergency tooth pain.
Conclusion: It has been clearly demonstrated that just knowing about COVID-19 does not reduce anxiety and depression levels. It has been revealed that anxiety and depression levels are lower in patients with high awareness.

Amaç: Tüm dünyada devam eden ve Türkiye'de hızla ilerleyen pandemi sürecinde diş tedavileri yarım kalabilmekte ve diş sorunu olan hastalar kaygıyla kendilerine zarar verici davranışlarda bulunabilmektedir. Hastaların bu bulaşıcı hastalık hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini, diş sorunları sırasındaki tutumlarını, istenmeyen davranışlara neden olabilecek anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerini anlamak önceliklidir. Yapılan bu anket çalışması, türk diş hekimliği hastalarının COVID-19 hakkındaki bilgi düzeyi, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerini belirleyip; mevcut kanıtları sentezlemeyi ve analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 32 sorudan oluşan bu ankette sırasıyla demografik bilgiler, COVID-19 hakkında bilgi, diş tedavilerinde COVID-19’ a ilişkin farkındalık ve Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği yer aldı. Anket, 20 Eylül 2021- 20 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında gönüllülük esasına göre gerçekleştirilmiş ve anketteki tüm sorular 837 katılımcı tarafından yanıtlanmıştır. Değişkenlerin ilişkilerini değerlendirmek için path analizi, nitel verileri değerlendirmek için Ki-Kare testleri kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p < 0.05 olarak ayarlandı.
Bulgular: COVID-19 hastalığına ilişkin bilgi düzeyi 92.85 ± 11.47 (100) (dk ± SD) olarak belirlendi. Hastaların % 97.3’ ü (n=814) acil diş ağrısı ve apse durumunda doktoruna ulaşmak istediklerini bildirdi. % 4.2’ si (n=35) ise acil diş ağrısından dolayı ne yapacağını bilemediklerini bildirdi.
Sonuçlar: COVID-19 hakkında sadece bilgi sahibi olmanın anksiyeteyi ve depresyon düzeyini düşürmediği açıkça ortaya konmuştur. Farkındalığı yüksek olan hastalarda ise anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin daha düşük olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
