A narrative review on the effectiveness of therapeutic communication in reducing anxiety in children during dental treatment procedures

“…This is in accordance with research done by Timah & Yudita (2018) which states that there is a relationship between therapeutic communication and anxiety levels which is indicated by a p-value=0.005 and OR val-ue=10.714, which means that good therapeutic communication has a 10.7-fold chance of reducing the level of anxiety in patients compared with poor therapeutic communication. Therefore, having good therapeutic communication will make it easier for the dental team to establish relationships with patients, so that the communication process will be more effective and achieve its goals and have an impact on professional satisfaction in services [28]. The goals of therapeutic communication are to make it easier for patients to reduce the burden of thoughts and feelings, assist in the process of taking action, increase the patients' sense of trust in the things that are needed, increase the patient's sense of trust in their health status, and be able to establish close relationships and interactions between patients with health workers in helping resolve patient problems [27], [28].…”

In addition, good therapeutic communication has a role in building harmony between the medical team and the patient and increasing the sensitivity of the medical team in understanding the patient's psychological condition through an empathetic attitude, so that it can help reduce patient anxiety because the patient can deepen his feelings, talk about his anxieties and fears, face his worries, and obtain the solution or knowledge needed [36], [41], this is because there is strong evidence showing that the experience of anxiety in patients regarding dental treatment procedures is based on the emotional interaction of the dental team with the patient [42].…”

“…What the medical team needs to do at this stage is to encourage the patients to tell about the problems they are facing, how to overcome the problems and how to solve the problems. Also, the last stage is the termination stage which is the end of the meeting with the patient, divided into two, namely the temporary termination stage, at this stage the medical team will meet again with the patient in accordance with the agreement, and the final termination which occurs when the medical team and patient have completed the entire medical procedure process [27], [28], [43]. In therapeutic communication with children, the dental team must always pay attention to the tone of voice, the distance of interaction with the patient, the touch given to the patient must be with the children's consent, so that a good relationship between the dental team and the children will be easily formed and the patient will feel safe, have low level of anxiety, and feel safe in undergoing all dental procedures that will be carried out by the dental team [44].…”

“…Therapeutic communication is communication planned and carried out by health workers to patients with the aim of the healing process or solving problems faced by the patients [27]. This communication develops interpersonal relationships between medical personnel and patients, so that this process includes special abilities because medical personnel, including dentists, must pay attention to various interactions and non-verbal behavior in addition to deliberately providing information for the benefit of the patient and maximizing the treatment plan [28]. In its application, the quality of communication between the dentist and the patient is important because it is an indicator of success in the patient's healing process, in addition to using pharmacological therapy [29].…”
