“…While smoking can facilitate the onset of periodontal disease, it can perpetuate or worsen the disease as well (Nociti et al, 2014). It also could be that individuals lower the priority of their oral health care because of whatever else is going on in their life (Edwards et al, 2017).…”

Health psychology is multidisciplinary, with researchers, practitioners, and policy makers finding themselves needing at least some level of competency in a variety of areas from psychology to physiology, public health, and others. Given this multidisciplinary ontology, prior attempts have been made to establish a framework for understanding the role of biological, psychological, and socio-environmental constructs in disease development, maintenance, and treatment. Other models, however, do not explain how factors may interact and develop over time. The aim here was to apply and adapt the 3P model, originally developed and used in the treatment of insomnia, to couch the biopsychosocial model in a way that explains how diseases develop, are maintained, and can be treated. This paper outlines the role of predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors in disease states and conditions (the 3Ps) and provides examples of how this model may be adapted and applied to a number of health-related diseases or disorders including chronic pain, gastrointestinal disorders, oral disease, and heart disease. The 3P framework can aid in facilitating a multidisciplinary, theoretical approach and way of conceptualizing the study and treatment of diseases in the future.

“…We suppose that DNS will negatively correlate with the tests which assess concepts related to dental health, such as life quality in dental health [ 5 , 15 , 20 , 23 ] and distrust of dental services and of dentists [ 5 , 20 , 23 ], and reduced need for addressability to the dentist [ 17 , 30 ]. At the same time, DNS will correlate positively with the scale which measures the values in dental health [ 20 , 21 , 29 ].…”

“…The DNS scores were negatively associated with instruments that measure the impact of dental health on quality of life (Oral Health Impact Profile-14) [ 19 , 20 ], reactions regarding dental procedures and services (Revised-Dental Beliefs Survey), dental fear (Dental Fear Survey) [ 20 , 21 ]. DNS had positive relations with the scales that value oral health (Oral Health Values Scale) [ 20 , 22 ].…”

The Dental Neglect Scale (DNS) is a well-known measure for assessing behaviours and attitudes related to oral health. However, the factor inconsistency revealed by the literature involves further investigations. The study focuses on the validation of the DNS in the case of a sample of the adult population from Romania. In this regard, data were collected online from 872 adults (616 females and 256 males). DNS reliability was examined from the perspective of internal consistency. Convergent validity was performed by associating DNS with different scales from the oral health field. In order to examine and confirm the factorial structure, the sample was broken down into two subsamples which made the subject of the exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA), respectively. DNS-RO is positively associated with the scale which measures the values related to oral health (OHVS) and negatively with those that assess the impact of the oral health on life quality (OHIP-14), the distrust of the benefits of oral health services (R-DBS), and reduced need for oral care (DIS). The Cronbach’s α = 0.70, McDonald’s ω = 0.70 and CR = 0.77 are acceptable. Both EFA and CFA (χ2/df = 1.13; CFI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.017; SRMR = 0.059) support the unifactorial structure of the scale. The gender differences show that females evince greater care for oral health than male subjects. The study shows that the DNS-RO can be used to assess the behaviours and attitudes towards oral health in the case of the Romanian adult population in epidemiological studies and health promotion programs through health education.

“…Existing archival datasets including individual data (n = 3,460) previously collected about fear of pain, along with a new supplement of participants (n = 828) from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk; www.mturk.com) were utilized to provide a robust sample (N = 4,288) to assess the targeted research questions. The archival datasets included the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-9 validation sample of undergraduate psychology students from two institutions (Oklahoma State University and West Virginia University) and chronic pain patients , adult participants from the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA1) study (Polk et al, 2008), an oral diagnostic sample (Randall, Shulman, & McNeil, 2014), and two national samples from a previous study about oral health values that also utilized MTurk (Edwards & McNeil, 2018). Each of these studies included data from different time periods (range = 1995-2017).…”

Background Pain continues to be an important public health concern, especially given the opioid crisis in industrialized countries. It is important to understand the association between emotions such as fear and anxiety and the experience of pain as both a physiological and affective experience. Fear or anxiety about pain is in fact a well-known predictor of and close associate of pain. Nociception and pain history differ depending on age, yet little empirical evidence exists on how fear of pain varies over the life span. The purpose of this study was to provide a cross-sectional examination of the relations between age and fear of pain across the adult life span. Methods Using cross-sectional data from 4,122 participants who completed the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-9, structural equation modeling and regression techniques were used to examine the association between fear of pain and age. Results A positive linear association was discovered between age and fear of severe or minor pain, and a negative association was discovered between age and fear of medical or dental pain. Quadratic and cubic relations were also significant for fear of severe pain, fear of medical and dental pain, and overall fear of pain, but not for fear of minor pain. Conclusions Unique trajectories for different components of pain-related fear exist across the adult life span and may be affected by increased exposure to medical and dental experiences over time and by the awareness of a greater likelihood of experiencing pain later in the life span.
