从齿开始：正畸治疗对大学生心理健康的影响

Starting with Teeth: The Effect of Orthodontic Treatment on the Mental Health of College Students

摘要: 目的：探讨正畸治疗对大学生情绪、牙齿关注度及幸福感等心理健康状况的影响。方法：通过问卷调查法对168名在校大学生进行调查，按照正畸情况分为已完成正畸治疗组、进行中组、和未开始组，采用牙齿关注度、焦虑、自尊、人格、主观幸福感相关的量表进行测量分析。结果：① 已完成组的效果满意度高，焦虑负性情绪显著低于未开始组；② 进行中组的被试对矫治结果的期望值显著高于未开始组；③ 正畸治疗情况对牙齿关注度的影响不显著；④ 牙齿关注度与人格中的神经质、尽责性和开放性维度呈显著正相关；⑤ 牙齿关注度得分与主观幸福感得分呈显著负相关。结论：① 正畸治疗降低了大学生的焦虑负性情绪，并且提高了大学生对矫治结果的期望值，但是没有降低大学生的牙齿关注度；② 牙齿关注度与人格和主观幸福感有关。本研究在理论上丰富了关于正畸心理的研究，同时，更好地联系实际，为日后的心理干预提供了指导方向。

Abstract: Objective: To explore the changes of negative emotions in college students’ anxiety during orthodontic treatment, so as to provide some help for psychological intervention and behavior shaping in the process of orthodontic treatment in the future. Methods: Questionnaire survey was conducted on college students in a school. The subjects were divided into groups according to the conditions of orthodontics. The scales related to dental attention, anxiety, self-esteem, personality and subjective well-being were used for evaluation and analysis, and the effective data of 168 subjects were obtained. Results: ① The completed group had higher satisfaction with the results, and the negative emotion of anxiety was significantly lower than that of the unstarted group; ② The expected value of the treatment result in the middle group was significantly higher than that in the unstarted group; ③ Dental attention was positively correlated with neuroticism, conscientiousness and openness. ④ There was a significant negative correlation between the score of dental attention and the score of subjective well-being. Conclusion: ① Orthodontic treatment can reduce the negative emotion in the anxiety of college students, and improve the expectation of the results of orthodontic treatment, but it does not reduce the attention of college students. ② Tooth attention is related to personality and subjective well-being. This study enriches the research on orthodontic psychology in theory, and at the same time, it provides guidance for future psychological intervention in better connection with practice.
