Design Of A Methodology For The Assessment Of Anxiety In Patients At The Dental Office During Covid-19

Abstract

The heterogeneity of the measures, together with the social disasters of the period, greatly affected the dental service since many patients did not know whether to attend their appointments with the dentist. Which, combined with the mental effects caused by the pandemic, led to manifestations of different feelings and anxiety for dental patients who did not know how to drive properly due to lack of knowledge on the subject. Therefore, it is decided to carry out an investigation in a SHIRPAO dental clinic by the authors whose main problem was formulated as follows: how to assess anxiety in dental office patients during COVID-19 in the dental clinic? Thus, the objective of the present study: to design a methodology to assess the level of anxiety and concerns of dental patients regarding the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, the design of this methodology can help students and professionals in the correct treatment of anxiety.
