ABSTRACT
Objective: A new disease called coronavirus disease2019 (COVID‐19), was discovered in the city of Wuhan in China and has quickly reached many countries. During this period, mental health of people was affected negatively. This study aimed to evaluate the anxiety levels of dental patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, determine the reasons for admission to the dental center, and to investigate the rate of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Material and Methods: A questionnaire consisting of the stated topics and demographic data was completed by the patients. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scales were used to determine anxiety levels and the Corah-Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) was also used to assess dental anxiety. Results: The DAS scores showed that patients had low levels of dental anxiety, while STAI-State and STAI-Trait scores showed that most patients were moderately anxious. Gender, age, marital status, education, and location of residence were associated with higher DAS and/or STAI scores. Vaccine hesitancy was reported in 28.31% of patients. Side effects and the unknown long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccine were given as major reasons for vaccine hesitancy (34.13%). Conclusion: Our results reveal that there was a concerning level of anxiety and vaccine hesitancy in a group of Turkish dental patients during COVID-19 pandemic in Soke Region.

ÖZET
Amaç: Çin'in Wuhan şehrinde 2019 yılında koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] adı verilen yeni bir hastalık keşfedildi ve hızla birçok ülkeye ulaştı. Bu dönemde insanların ruh sağlığı olumsuz etkilendi. Bu çalışmanın amacı, diş hekimine gelen hastaların COVID-19 pandemisi sırasındaki anksiyete düzeylerini değerlendirmek, diş merkezine başvuru nedenlerini belirlemek ve COVID-19 aşı tereddüt oranlarını araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastalara, belirtilen konular ve demografik verilerden oluşan anket formu dolduruldu. Anksiyete düzeylerini belirlemek için Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri [State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)] skalası ve dental anksiyeteyi değerlendirmek için de CorahDental Anksiyete Skalası (DAS) kullanıldı. Bulgular: DAS skorları, hastaların düşük düzeyde dental anksiyeteye sahip olduğunu gösterirken; STAI-S ve STAI-T skorları, çoğu hastanın orta derecede anksiyeteye sahip olduğunu gösterdi. Cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, eğitim ve ikamet yeri daha yüksek DAS ve/veya STAI puanları ile ilişkilendirildi. Hastaların %28,31'inde aşı tereddüdü bildirildi. COVID-19 aşısının yan etkileri ve bilinmeyen uzun vadeli etkileri, aşı tereddüdünün ana nedenleri olarak gösterildi (%34,13). Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında Söke Bölgesi'nde diş hekimine başvuran bir grup Türk hastada, anksiyete ve aşı tereddüdü olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Koronavirüs; endişe; stres; psikolojik; diş kaygısı
