The aim of this study was to determine stress and effective factors in children referred to pedodontics department of Babol dental faculty. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was performed on children aged between 6-12 years who referred to pedodontics department during 2002. Data were collected by the use of CFSS-DS questionnaire evaluated for validity and reliability via pilot study (0.9 and 0.85, respectively). Data were analyzed by the use of SPSS software. Findings: Among children, 55 were male (52.4%) and 50 were female (47.6%). The mean stress score among children was 25.4±12.9. No significant correlation was found between stress and background factors such as age, sex, parent educational status and job, history of referring to dentist, number of children in a family, birth order and parent’s stress score. In this study, 14 children (13.33%) had stress score more than 38, which mean that they had stress. Conclusion: The mean stress score and frequency of children with stress were less than other studies. Also, by increasing the age up to 11 years, the stress score had reduced in which could be due to psychologic growth and increased comprehension in children.M Ghasem PourM Haji AhmadiM Pourya ValiBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticledental anxietydental fear6-12 year old childrenMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 6, Iss 5, Pp 12-16 (2004)
