RESUMO
Objective To observe the self-efficacy and body image changes of the patients with oral and maxillofacial deformity in pre-and post-operative.Methods 183 patients with oral and maxillofacial deformity and 200 relatives as control group were measured by applying General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) of Chinese version and Self-rating Scale of Body Image(SSBI).Postoperative satisfaction degree was scored by applying attitude measurement method of interval scale.Perioperative GSES,SSBI score,and postoperative satisfaction degree were statistically analyzed.Results GSES score (26.79 ± 5.26) was lower than that in control group in preoperative (29.69 ± 5.37),and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).While SSBI score (24.35 ± 8.59) was higher than that in control group(11.04 ± 6.67),and the difference was also statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).GSES score in postoperative(29.52 ± 3.80) was significantly higher than that in preoperative (P ＜ 0.05).SSBI score in postoperative(18.88 ± 8.19) was significantly higher than that in preoperative (P ＜ 0.05).Postoperative satisfaction was comparatively lower for the patients whose GSES score was higher than 32 and 36 for SSBI in preoperative.Conclusion Oporation can enhance the self-efficacy of patients with oral and maxillofacial deformity and reduce the incidence of patients with body dysmorphic disorder tendency.
