| description | Objective: To examine the hypothesis that psychological factors
of psychological distress and perception of unhappiness in
childhood are associated with self reported orofacial pain and to
examine whether such patients have a poorer perception of their
oral health related quality of life and if so then to what extent.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional hospital based study
was conducted in Hitkarini Dental College and Hospital, Jabalpur
amongst 400 cases and 400 controls. Patients were included
based on Locker and Slade’s criteria. Patients were asked to
complete 27 items Questionnaire which included the General
Health Questionnaire to assess for psychological distress and
Oral Health Impact Profile-14 for evaluating impact on quality of
life. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were performed
to determine the degree of association between psychological
factors, unhappy childhood and quality of life. P-value of less than
0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: An increased propensity to report orofacial pain was
seen for those individuals with higher levels of Psychological
Distress and with perception of Unhappiness in Childhood. These
individuals also reported with poorer perception of their oral health
related Quality of Life.
Conclusion: The present study has shown relationship between
Orofacial Pain, Quality of Life and Psychological Factors. |
