高氟区公众对氟牙症社会心理影响的评价

Evaluation of the public in an epidemic area about the psychosocial effects of fluorosis

目的调查高氟区不同人群对氟牙症可能造成的社会心理影响的评价。方法在高氟区河北省邢台市,调查35名口腔医生、30名口腔专业学生、36名非口腔专业学生、34名职员及30名领导对20张不同程度氟牙症照片的社会心理影响评价,分别包括7个不同社会心理方面的五度分法评价题。采用SPSS10.0进行统计分析。结果高氟区公众评价均值随氟牙症的加重而升高（2.27～4.71）,氟牙症照片的严重程度与对应的社会心理评价之间均存在显著相关,Spearman相关系数为0.657～0.767。口腔医生的评价值低于其他人群。高氟区公众评价最显著的相关因素是氟牙症程度,偏相关系数均在0.7以上,评价者人口学特征也与评价结果相关。结论高氟区公众认为轻度及以下氟牙症不会对患者的社会心理状况造成明显影响,且公众评价结果与多种因素相关。
