Invention of self-group therapy for halitosis patients

近70%的口臭患者没有口臭，通过感官或机械分析检查。在每次探视中分析口臭是有效的，减少他们对口臭的困扰。但他们中的一些人仍然停留在口臭上。在征得他们同意参加该项目后，我们对这些患者进行了团体治疗。为了评估团体治疗的效果，在治疗前后使用了由25个项目组成的关于口臭和恐人的调查问卷。本研究还采用了一些现成的心理问卷。小组课程由团体治疗指导和口臭短篇讲座组成。在茶歇旁边，鼓励患者谈论他/她的口臭故事，并相互评论。该小组有三到六名患者和一到三名协调员(牙医)。会后，对问卷中几乎所有项目的回答都得到了改进。我观察到关于口臭的条目有显著的改善，例如“口臭永远不能治愈”、“只有我有口臭”、“对口臭的信心是由他人的态度引起的”和“总是纠结于口臭”。在恐人问卷中，“来自他人评价的高意识”在统计学上得到了改善。在自我意识图上，自由儿童(FC)的百分比增加。这些结果表明，团体治疗对坚持“假想口臭”的患者是有效的。通过与同一证候患者交流，缓解嗜人恐惧症的治愈机制可能更容易在他们之间产生共鸣。观察对方口臭的错觉，也可以让主治医生意识到他/她也有同样的错觉，帮助他们走出“假想的口臭”。

Almost 70% of halitosis complaining patients had not have bad breath examined by organoleptic or machinery analysis. It is effective each time analysis of halitosis in every visiting, to diminish their dwelling upon bad breath. But some of them still remained to dwelling upon bad breath. We employed group therapy to these patients after getting their agreement to attend the project. In order to estimate the effectiveness of group therapy, a questionnaire composed 25 items about halitosis and anthropophobia was used before and after the sessions. Some ready-made psychological questionnaires are also employed. The group session curriculum was composed of guidance for group therapy and short lecture about halitosis. Next to tea break, patients were encouraged to talk his/her story of halitosis and remark on it each other. The group had three to six patients and one to three coordinators (dentist). After the session; answers to almost of the items of questionnaire were improved. Statistically significant improvement I was observed at items about halitosis such as "bad breath is never cure", "only I have bad breath", "confidence of bad breath is caused by other's attitude" and "dwelling upon bad breath at all times". At anthropophobic questionnaire, "Hyper-consciousness from other's valuation" was statistically improved. On the Ego gram, the percentage of free child(FC) was increased. These result lead the usefulness of group-therapy for patients sticking to "imaginary halitosis ". The mechanism of healing that the anthropophobia was relieved through the session to communicate with same syndrome patients may have sympathy among them, easily. Observing the other patient's illusion of bad breath, also could make the attendance realize that he/she has same illusion and helping them to get out from "imaginary halitosis".
