Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Fear and anxiety related to dental and healthcare procedures are common among young adults and can negatively impact dental and healthcare consumership, resulting in poor health outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine young adults\' experiences of fear related to dental and healthcare procedures and the potential relationships between the two forms of fear experiences and demographic factors.
UNASSIGNED: Young adults (252) were recruited from a large public university and completed a survey about their dental and healthcare fear/anxiety as well as their confidence in healthcare professionals. Descriptive and correlational analyses were completed to describe the experiences of young adults and the relationships between variables.
UNASSIGNED: Ten types of fear/anxiety were identified related to healthcare procedures, with the most common being needles and pain. Nine fears/anxieties were identified for dental visits, of which pain and sensory experiences other than pain were most common. Female participants were significantly more likely to report fear/anxiety related to dental procedures, and there was a statistically significant relationship between fear/anxiety related to healthcare procedures and that related to dental procedures. There was also a significant negative relationship found between confidence in healthcare providers and fear/anxiety related to healthcare procedures.
UNASSIGNED: Young adults experience fear/anxiety related to healthcare and dentist visits, and this fear/anxiety can impact their confidence in healthcare providers, such as primary physicians. The findings of the current study suggest primary care providers should be aware of potential fears/anxieties and offer patients appropriate supports.

摘要：
与牙科和医疗保健程序相关的恐惧和焦虑在年轻人中很常见，会对牙科和医疗保健消费者产生负面影响。导致不良的健康结果。
■这项横断面研究旨在研究与牙科和医疗保健程序相关的年轻人的恐惧经历，以及两种形式的恐惧经历与人口统计学因素之间的潜在关系。
■从一所大型公立大学招募年轻人（252），并完成了一项关于他们的牙科和医疗保健恐惧/焦虑以及他们对医疗保健专业人员的信心的调查。完成了描述性和相关性分析，以描述年轻人的经历以及变量之间的关系。
■确定了与医疗保健程序有关的十种类型的恐惧/焦虑，最常见的是针头和疼痛。在牙科就诊时发现了九种恐惧/焦虑，其中疼痛和除疼痛以外的感官体验最常见。女性参与者更有可能报告与牙科手术有关的恐惧/焦虑，与医疗保健程序相关的恐惧/焦虑与牙科程序相关的恐惧/焦虑之间存在统计学上的显着关系。在医疗保健提供者的信心与与医疗保健程序相关的恐惧/焦虑之间也存在显着的负相关。
■年轻人经历与医疗保健和牙医访问有关的恐惧/焦虑，这种恐惧/焦虑会影响他们对医疗保健提供者的信心，比如主治医生。当前研究的结果表明，初级保健提供者应该意识到潜在的恐惧/焦虑，并为患者提供适当的支持。
