简要总结
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between professional experience and grip strength, pain threshold and anxiety level in dentists. As a result of the results obtained, we aim to contribute an original study to the literature and to increase awareness by informing the dentists participating in the study.
详细描述
Our hypotheses:
H1: Professional experience has an effect on hand grip strength in dentists. H2: Professional experience has an effect on finger grip strength in dentists. H2: Professional experience has an effect on pain in dentists. H3: Professional experience has an effect on anxiety level in dentists.
The unique value of our study is that it is the first study to examine the relationship between dentists' professional experience and grip strength, pain, and anxiety. When we look at the literature, we have not found any studies examining the effect of dentists' professional experience on grip strength and pain. In the study, grip strength, pain threshold, and forearm grip strength will be evaluated. Grip strength will be assessed with a Jamar hand dynamometer, pinch grip with a Baseline brand pinchmeter, pain threshold with a dolorometer, and forearm grip strength with a handheld dynamometer. Anxiety will be assessed with the Beck Anxiety Questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
Handgrip assessment
时间窗: up to one week
Grip strength will be determined by evaluating the gross grip and pinch grip. A pinchmeter (Baseline Mechanical Pinch Gauge) will be used to measure the fine grip strength. The measurement of hand grip and finger grip strength will be made in the recommended standard position of sitting, shoulder adduction and neutral rotation, elbow 90 degrees flexed, forearm in mid-rotation and supported, wrist in neutral. In the test procedure, 3 measurements will be taken for hand grip and finger grip strength with one minute intervals between each measurement and the averages will be recorded.
次要结局
- Forehand muscle strength assessment(up to one week)
- Pain thereshold assessment(up to one week)
- Anxiety level assessment(up to one week)
