Abstract: (356 Views)
Background and Objectives:
Many dental procedures cause the creation of airborne particles and droplets infected with the Covid-19 virus. People's fear of corona disease, due to its rapid transmission, reduces visits to dental clinics. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the behavior of patients referring to dental clinics in the city of Qom in relation to Corona.
Method:
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the first half of 2019 on 224 people who referred to dental clinics in Qom, who were selected by random sampling. The tool for collecting information was researcher-made questionnaires containing demographic variables and questions related to the assessment of patients' behaviors. Data were analyzed in SPSS20 software using descriptive statistics.
Results: The average age of the participants in the research was 36.53±13.85. In the evaluation of the patients' behavior in relation to Covid-19, the majority of the answers were "always" in most of the questions. There was a decrease in the behavior score of patients with increasing age. According to the value of Sig (0.029), the relationship between these two variables is significant. Conclusion: The results showed that the behavior of the clients in observing hygiene and preventing the disease of Covid-19 was at a favorable level.
