Keywords:
Anxiety, Music, Dental treatment attendanceAbstract
Introduction and research objectives:
Dental patients often worry about pain or have had negative experiences from previous treatments, which increases their anxiety about undergoing dental services in the future. This study aimed to investigate the effect of music on reducing anxiety among students at the Sirindhorn College of Public Health in Phitsanulok Province.
Research methods: This quasi-experimental research with a purposive sample of 60 students, divided into an experimental group exposed to music during dental treatments, and a control group without music. The researcher assessed anxiety levels related to dental services in both groups by collecting data between August and September 2023. Data analysis included non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney test).
Results: The results showed no significant difference in anxiety levels between the groups before treatment (p=0.960). However, after treatment, the experimental group exhibited significantly lower anxiety levels compared to the control group (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Therefore, using music during dental procedures can effectively reduce anxiety in patients.
Implication: Incorporating music during dental procedures may increased dental care attendance among adolescents.
