description Objectives: Dental anxiety is a common problem and a great challenge for many patients, but also for dentists - the treatment of anxious patients is considered to be one of the most stressful situations for dentists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental anxiety among the students of the University of Rijeka and to detect possible differences in the level of anxiety among students of different study programs. Participants and methods: This cross-sectional study included 290 students from different faculties of the University of Rijeka (Faculty of Law, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dental Medicine), 73 (25.17%) male and 217 (74.83%) female students. The study was conducted online via The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) in 2020 and sampling was based on voluntary responses. The Student's t-test and ANOVA were used to compare differences in MDAS scores among students. Results: There is a significant difference in dental anxiety levels between students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Faculty of Dental Medicine (MDAS=11.32[+ or -]4.11, MDAS=8.84[+ or -]3.03, p=0.01), and also between students from the Faculty of Law and Faculty of Dental Medicine (MDAS=11.47[+ or -]4.64, MDAS=8.84[+ or -]3.03, p

Conclusions: This research showed that non-dental students have a higher level of dental anxiety than dental students. Sufficient knowledge of dental and oral health could potentially overcome dental fear and anxiety. Therefore, there is a need to provide additional dental education throughout the university curriculum. Cilj istrazivanja: Dentalna anksioznost problem je i veliki izazov za mnoge pacijente, ali i za doktore dentalne medicine. Naime, lijecenje anksioznih pacijenata smatra se jednom od najstresnijih situacija kad je rijec o doktorima dentalne medicine. Cilj ovog istrazivanja bio je procijeniti ucestalost dentalne anksioznosti medu studentima Sveucilista u Rijeci i otkriti moguce razlike u razini anksioznosti medu studentima razlicitih studijskih programa. Ispitanici i metode: Ovo presjecno istrazivanje obuhvatilo je 290 studenata s razlicitih fakulteta Sveucilista u Rijeci (Pravni fakultet, Filozofski fakultet, Tehnicki fakultet, Medicinski fakultet, Fakultet dentalne medicine). Njih 73 (25,17 %) bilo je muskog spola, a 217 (74,83 %) zenskoga. Istrazivanje je provedeno online 2020. godine na temelju modificirane ljestvice dentalne anksioznosti (MDAS). Za usporedbu razlika u MDAS rezultatima izmedu studenata koristeni su Studentov t-test i ANOVA. Rezultati: Pronadena je statisticki znacajna razlika u razinama dentalne anksioznosti izmedu studenata s Filozofskog fakulteta i Fakulteta dentalne medicine (MDAS = 11,32 [+ or -] 4,11, MDAS = 8,84 [+ or -] 3,03, p= 0,01), te onih s Pravnog fakulteta i Fakulteta dentalne medicine (MDAS = 11,47 [+ or -] 4,64, MDAS = 8,84 [+ or -] 3,03, p &lt; 0,01). Zakljucci: Ovo istrazivanje pokazalo je da studenti koji ne studiraju dentalnu medicinu imaju visu razinu dentalne anksioznosti u usporedbi sa studentima dentalne medicine. Dovoljno znanje o dentalnome i oralnome zdravlju moglo bi prevladati strah i anksioznost povezane sa stomatoloskim zahvatima. Zato je u sveucilisni kurikul potrebno uvrstiti dodatnu dentalnu edukaciju.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0001-7019</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.15644/asc58/2/7</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Sveuciliste U Zagrebu</publisher><subject>Medical law ; Students</subject><ispartof>Acta stomatologica croatica, 2024-06, Vol.58 (2), p.177</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2024 Sveuciliste U Zagrebu</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,864,27924,27925</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Jokic, Natasa Ivancic</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Maticic, Laura</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Erpusina, Marija Simunovic</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Petrovic, Dorotea</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Cicvaric, Odri</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bakarcic, Danko</creatorcontrib><title>Dental Anxiety Among Students of the University of Rijeka, Croatia/Dentalna anksioznost kod studenata Sveucilista u Rijeci</title><title>Acta stomatologica croatica</title><description>Objectives: Dental anxiety is a common problem and a great challenge for many patients, but also for dentists - the treatment of anxious patients is considered to be one of the most stressful situations for dentists.
