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( =0.21, p<0.05), waiting time for scaling(β=0.24, p<0.01) and financial burden (β=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.
