posted on 2018-02-22, 17:07 authored by Huda Y. NaoumThis study was conducted to examine the relationship between
the mother's behaviour in the treatment room and her child's behaviour
during the initial dental visit. It is hypothesised that mothers who
behave in a positive way by providing reassurance and information will
have more cooperative children. A scheme for categorising the
mothers’ behaviour was developed. It consists of six categories that
describes the mother as being: informative, sympathetic, rewarding, blaming, threatening or passive. Moreover, two questions were
developed end examined for their predictive value of the mother's
behaviour. These two questions ask the mother to describe her most
likely behaviour in two different everyday life situations where her child
might become anxious. [Continues.]
