Abstract
Introduction: cooperation in orthodontics is one of the most important predictors of treatment outcome. Evaluation of patient satisfaction is a suitable criterion for the evaluation of treatment and quality of the patients and the relationship between physician and patient. In this study, the relationship between some personality traits of patients with their cooperation in orthodontic treatment
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 135 patients who had referred to the orthodontic department of the School of Dentistry of Isfahan Azad University for fixed orthodontic treatment were selected. The correlation between 5 psychological factors of Costa and McCrae personality theory with the level of cooperation and satisfaction of patients during orthodontic treatment was assessed by NEO-FFI questionnaire, OPCS questionnaire to measure patient cooperation 2 months and 6 months after treatment and satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson, Spearman and Regression correlation coefficients.
Results: The mean cooperation score was not significantly different between 2 months and 6 months after starting treatment (p value = 0.66). The satisfaction score of treatment was directly related to the score of the responsible factor of responsibility (p value < 0.01) but was not significantly related to the scores of other personality factors (p value > 0.05). Cooperation score 2 months and 6 months after starting treatment was not significantly related to personality factor scores (p value > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between cooperation score 2 months (p value = 0.57) and 6 months after starting treatment (p value = 0.99) with treatment satisfaction score.
Conclusion: There is no relationship between orthodontic patients' cooperation and their personality type. There is a direct relationship between orthodontic patients' satisfaction and the score of the personality factor of responsibility.
Keywords: Orthodontics, Psychology, Patient compliance
