目的:
客観的口臭のある中国人患者とない中国人患者の性格、社会的回避と苦痛、不安状態を比較し、これらの心理的障害との関連を調査する。
OBJECTIVE: To compare the personalities, social avoidance and distress, and anxiety status of Chinese patients with and without objective halitosis, and investigate the association among these psychological disorders.
方法:
口臭を訴え、客観的口臭と診断された患者を口臭群、客観的口臭のない患者を対照群として登録した。質問票には、参加者の社会統計学的プロフィール、Eysenck Personality Questionnaire（EPQ）、Social Avoidance and Distress Scale（SAD）、Beck Anxiety Inventory（BAI）などが含まれた。
METHODS: Patients who complained of bad breath and diagnosed with objective halitosis were enrolled into the halitosis group, while patients without objective halitosis were enrolled into the control group. The questionnaires included the sociodemographic profile of the participants, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SAD), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
結果:
合計280名の患者を客観的口臭群（n=146）と対照群（n=134）に割り付けた。口臭群ではEPQの外向性下位尺度（E）スコアが対照群に比べ有意に低かった（p=0.001）。客観的口臭症群のSAD総スコアおよびBAIスケールにおける不安症状を有する患者の割合は、対照群に比べ有意に高かった（p＜0.05）。外向性下位尺度とSAD総スコア，社会的回避および社会的苦痛下位尺度との間には負の相関があった（p<0.001）．
RESULTS: A total of 280 patients were assigned into objective halitosis group (n = 146) and control group (n = 134). The extraversion subscales (E) score of the EPQ in the halitosis group were significantly lower than that in the control group (p = 0.001). The total SAD score and proportion of patients with anxiety symptoms in the BAI scale in the objective halitosis was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). There was a negative correlation between the extraversion subscale and the total SAD score, Social Avoidance and Social Distress subscales (p < 0.001).
結論:
客観的口臭のある患者さんは、非口臭の患者さんに比べて内向的な性格特性を持ち、社会的回避や苦痛を抱えやすいと言われています。
CONCLUSION: Patients with objective halitosis have more introverted personality traits and are more likely to have social avoidance and distress than the nonhalitosis population.
