Pulse Rate Change After Childhood Anxiety Management with Modeling and Reinforcement Technique of Children's Dental Care

Abstract

Objective: To know the influence of handling child anxiety with modeling and reinforcement technique on changes in pulse rate in dental and oral care. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 53 children aged 6-12 years who first came to pedodontic clinic in dental and oral hospital education of Hasanuddin University. Anxiety level was measured using objective parameters, measurement of radial pulse. Measurement of anxiety level was done before and after modeling and reinforcement was given through three treatments: I: dental models; II: game and III: video modeling and reinforcement. Data analysis was done using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Friedman test. Results: There was a decrease before and after modeling and reinforcement. Before intervention, the average pulse rates in treatment I, II and III were 90.79, 88.00 and 88.38, respectively. After intervention, the average decrease in pulse rate of five beats per minute seen in the first treatment (85.15), a decrease of seven beats per minute on the second treatment (81.98), while in treatment III the average decrease was eight beats per minute (80.19) (p<0.001). Conclusion: Modeling and reinforcement technique effectively reduces children's anxiety levels for dental and oral care.

Determinants of Longitudinal Measure Pulse Rate of Chronic Heart Failure Patients at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Ethiopia: A Longitudinal Modeling Data Analysis

“…When patients had one more follow up the average pulse rate decreased by 0.2871 (p-value < 0.001). It was in line with the study, 18 indicating that after the intervention, the average decrease in pulse rate occurred over time.…”

Does Virtual Reality Affect Children’s Dental Anxiety, Pain, And Behaviour? A Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, Cross-Over Trial

“…Routine distraction techniques are widely used for behaviour management in paediatric dentistry because they are simple, safe, and inexpensive [7][8][9]. These techniques aim to distract children from painful and unpleasant stimuli by means of television (TV), music, and/or storytelling [8,[10][11][12].…”

“…Hasil penelitian Alnamankany (2019) melaporkan bahwa anak usia 7-8 tahun memiliki kecemasan dental tertinggi. 16,17 Secara umum, anak memiliki kecemasan dental yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan orang dewasa. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Wuisang et al (2015), didapatkan bahwa kecemasan dental lebih tinggi terjadi pada anak usia 6-7 tahun dibandingkan anak usia 8-12 tahun.…”
