Overview

Observational analysis found a positive correlation between STAI-S and APAIS scores in dental patients, indicating heightened anxiety levels.

Key Points

  • A positive correlation (r = 0.606) was identified between the STAI-S and APAIS scales before surgery.
  • Mean scores were 17.06 for APAIS and 23.48 for STAI-S among 50 patients undergoing surgery.
  • Patients completed anxiety assessment scales prior to impacted third molar extraction to measure anxiety levels.
  • Findings may improve dental practices by addressing preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing oral surgery.
