The Effectiveness of Meta-Diagnostic Treatment on behavioral adaptation, anxiety and Fear Dentistry Childrens
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of meta-diagnostic treatment on children's behavioral adaptation, anxiety, and dental fear. This research was applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental in terms of research design with pre-test-post-test design and control group. The statistical population of this research was made up of all children aged 11 to 7 years who were referred to Tabriz dental clinic in 2019 and were suffering from fear and anxiety. Among the referring children, 30 children were selected in an available way and were randomly placed in two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. So that the experimental group received meta-diagnostic treatment for 10 sessions of 90 minutes, one session per week for 3 months; While the group did not receive a training certificate. To collect data from the Children's Fear of Dentistry Scale-Sub-Index (CFSSS) (Cathebert and Melamed, 1982), the Dental Anxiety Questionnaire (DAQ) and Vaniham et al., 1980) and the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS) (Frankel, 1962) ) used. Data analysis was done with the statistical method of multivariate covariance analysis. The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.01). Transdiagnostic treatment reduces fear and anxiety and increases children's behavioral adaptation in dentistry.
