Covid19 Clinical Trial
Official title:
Correlation of Fear of COVID-19 Infection and Dental Treatment Anxiety Among Netizens: A Cross-sectional Study.
Purpose:
COVID-19 Pandemic has created fears, anxiety and worries among general population. COVID-19
airborne transmission is possible under circumstances in which procedures generate aerosols.
Various dental treatment procedures can generate aerosols. This Cross Sectional Observational
study was conducted with the following objectives: 1. Assessment of Fear of COVID-19 among
netizens in Al Qassim province using FEAR OF COVID-19, a 5 item Likert Scale. 2. Assessment
of Dental Anxiety among netizens in Al Qassim provincen using (MDA) Modified Dental Anxiety 5
item Likert Scale.
Methods: Sample size was (n=385) estimated based on the population size in Al Qassim province
(Confidence Interval 95%, Design effect 1 & hypothesized % frequency of outcome factor of
50%). Assessment of Fear of COVID-19 was estimated using FEAR OF COVID-19, a 5 item Likert
Scale. Assessment of Dental Anxiety was estimated using Modified Dental Anxiety 5 item Likert
Scale. An online Survey form (Arabic & English) was developed using Google form application.
The Google form link was shared to the netizens of Al Qassim province, across Social media
platforms. Statistical analysis is done using SPSS 22.00 software program.
COVID-19 Infection was characterized as a Pandemic by WHO on the 11th of March 2020. After
this there were all possible worldwide efforts to increase awareness in the general
population about the COVID-19 Infection signs, symptoms, mode of transmission and prevention.
The information was spread across all possible mass media communication channels.
There were constant updates regarding the data of newly infected cases, deaths, and
recoveries. COVID-19 Pandemic has created fears, anxiety, and worries among the general
population. COVID-19 spreads from person to person through Droplet transmission within
1-meter distance. COVID-19 airborne transmission is possible under specific circumstances and
settings in which procedures or support treatments that generate aerosols. Various dental
treatment procedures involve the use of equipment that can generate aerosols. Aerosols
contain microorganisms and remain suspended in air in the work environment. This can
potentially transfer the infectious microorganisms to the working staff and/or subsequent
patients attending the Dental clinics. After the advent of COVID-19 Pandemic, there is a
clear paradigm shift in Healthcare services. As the Pandemic transmission is easily
transmitted through droplets and aerosols, concern regarding Dental treatment has remained as
an issue.
Several past cross-sectional studies have established that Dental seeking behaviour of
patients is influenced by Fear and Anxiety to Dental treatment procedures.
As the world faces COVID-19 Pandemic, the Fear of COVID-19 infection and awareness regarding
COVID-19 infection can majorly influence the Dental treatment seeking behavior. General
population awareness regarding droplet transmission of COVID-19 can potentially influence the
fear, worry, and anxiety in Dental treatment seeking patients. The research regarding the
correlation of Fear of COVID-19 to Dental treatment Anxiety is very sparse.
The psychological aspects of COVID-19 Fear and Dental anxiety have to be considered and
researched.
This online Observational Cross-sectional survey study was conducted among netizens in Al
Qassim province of Saudi Arabia with the following objectives:
1. To assess Fear of COVID-19 among netizins in Al Qassim province using FEAR OF COVID-19,
a 5 item Likert Scale.
2. To assess Dental Anxiety among netizins in Al Qassim province using (MDA) Modified
Dental Anxiety 5 item Likert Scale.
3. Correlation of Fear of COVID-19 with Dental Anxiety among Netizens in Al Qassim
province.
4. Association of nearest Dental treatment seeking time and Fear of COVID.
5. Association of nearest Dental treatment seeking time and MDA.
