“…The parenting environment can influence another difference in the level of anxiety in orphans. It is essential to pay attention to how much orphans get attention from their caregivers because this can trigger anxiety about various situations (16). Different types of parenting behavior can occur due to the quality of interactions between adolescents and parents.…”

Background: Social anxiety is a fear of getting negative judgments from others when individuals are involved in certain social activities or situations. Social anxiety can also be experienced by teenagers who live in Social Child Welfare Institutions. Objective: This study aims to obtain an overview of the level of social anxiety in adolescents who live in Social Child Welfare Institutions in Pekanbaru City. Method: This quantitative study used a descriptive survey method, with a cluster random sampling technique of 240 adolescents as a sample. The research instrument is the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale questionnaire. Result: The results of this study indicate that 69.7% of the 240 adolescents living in Social Child Welfare Institutions experienced social anxiety. The dominating level is mild social anxiety (33.8%), followed by moderate social anxiety (21.3%), marked social anxiety (10%), severe social anxiety (3.8%), and very severe social anxiety (0.8%). The social situation that makes most respondents feel afraid or anxious is going to a party or event (74.2%), while the most avoidance response is urinating in a public toilet (55.2%). Conclusion: It can be concluded that adolescents living in Social Child Welfare Institutions experience social anxiety at various levels. Therefore, this research intends to make related institutions (Social Services) cooperate with Social Child Welfare Institutions to pay more attention to teenagers' development. Support can be in the form of providing facilities and health professionals who can help prevent social anxiety from escalating into a more severe condition or even causing other mental illnesses

“…This might be related to the poor oral hygiene habits of the children including ineffective brushing techniques, and irregular dental visits (15). In a study on the emotional and developmental disorders in orphans, Fawzy and Fouad (24) found that 45% of the subjects had anxiety. In a recent study, the effect of different life conditions on the development of dental anxiety was evaluated.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study is to evaluate oral health status and oral hygiene practices of female adolescents under state protection.Subjects and Methods:Fifty-five female participants between the age of 12 and 18 who are under the care of The Child Protection Institution were included in this study. Self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain information regarding knowledge of oral health and habits. Dental caries status was scored according to the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO), using the indices of Decayed (D), Missing (M), Filled (F), Surfaces (S) (DMFS). In addition, Gingival Index (GI) and Plaque Index (PI) were recorded during periodontal assessment. Data was statistically analyzed by using Oneway analysis of variance, Tukey’s HSD and Student’s t tests.Results:Fourteen children had dental fear and 52.7% of them were not satisfied with their esthetic appearance. Although 78.2% of the children knew that brushing prevents dental caries, only 18 of them were brushing regularly twice per day. Mean DMFS, GI and PI scores were 13.18±5.68, 1.35±0.37 and 1.33±0.45, respectively. Only 20% of the children were using dental floss. There was statistically no significant difference between the DMFS scores of the children in terms of flossing. However, the difference between the mean GI and PI of the same group was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusion:Children under state protection were found to have a reasonable knowledge of the causes of dental caries and gum bleeding. Therefore, adequate management of this positive attitude can significantly improve the oral health of this population.

“…Of these, twenty-three were peer-reviewed papers, one was a PhD thesis and four were grey literature. All originated from very high HDI countries except one [58], which was from India, a medium HDI country. Of the peer-reviewed sources, eleven were studies which were cross-sectional in design.…”

The authors, surprised by this observation, suggested that the guidance and counselling services offered to orphans perhaps helped them to understand their problems and deal more effectively with their emotions, including anxiety.…”

Aims: This scoping review aimed to explore three research questions: 1. What is the dental care access for children and young people (CYP) in care and care leavers? 2. What factors influence CYP in care and care leavers’ access to dental care? 3. What pathways have been developed to improve access to oral health care for CYP in care and care leavers? Methods: Five databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, CINAHL, SocINDEX and Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source) and grey literature sources were systematically searched. Articles relating to CYP in care or care leavers aged 0–25 years old, published up to January 2023 were included. Abstracts, posters and publications not in the English language were excluded. The data relating to dental care access were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: The search identified 942 articles, of which 247 were excluded as duplicates. A review of the titles and abstracts yielded 149 studies. Thirty-eight were eligible for inclusion in the review: thirty-three peer-reviewed articles, one PhD thesis and four grey literature sources. All papers were published from very high or medium Human Development Index countries. The studies indicate that despite having higher treatment needs, CYP in care and care leavers experience greater difficulty in accessing dental services than those not care-experienced. Organisational, psycho-social and logistical factors influence their access to dental care. Their experience of dental care may be impacted by adverse childhood events. Pathways to dental care have been developed, but little is known of their impact on access. There are very few studies that include care leavers. The voices of care-experienced CYP are missing from dental access research. Conclusions: care-experienced CYP are disadvantaged in their access to dental care, and there are significant barriers to their treatment needs being met.
