To test this hypothesis, 70 first-time third-molar extraction patients were randomly assigned to one of four surgery preparation conditions: standard preparation, oral premedication, relaxation, and a relaxation + efficacy-enhancing feedback condition in which subjects were given false galvanic skin response (GSR) biofeedback leading them to believe that they were highly skilled at relaxing. Analyses indicated that: (1) all treatments were seen as equally credible (controlling for placebo effects); (2) a priori contrasts showed that both the relaxation-only treatment and the relaxation + efficacy-enhancement treatment were superior to the premedication and standard preparations in raising coping self-efficacy; (3) regardless of treatment condition, increase in reported coping self-efficacy was significantly correlated with pre-operative anxiety, with self-reported peri-operative distress, and with behavioral ratings of peri-operative distress; and (4) the relaxation treatments resulted in lower pre-operative anxiety than the other interventions, and linear contrasts showed significant trends in which the relaxation + efficacy-enhancing condition was superior to the relaxation-only condition, which was in turn superior to the medication condition and the standard preparation in reducing both pre-operative anxiety and behavioral ratings of peri-operative distress. It was concluded that thoughts related to self-confidence and control can be manipulated, and that these thoughts can in part determine how well a person copes in stressful dental situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345930720081301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,28]],"date-time":"2010-11-28T21:14:56Z","timestamp":1290978896000},"page":"1237-1243","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Coping with Oral Surgery by Self-efficacy Enhancement and Perceptions of Control"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"M.D.","family":"Litt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Behavioral Sciences and Community Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Nye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Behavioral Sciences and Community Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Shafer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, Farmington, Connecticut 06030"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1993,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-295X.84.2.191"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.37.2.122"},{"key":"atypb3","first-page":"1223","volume":"63","author":"Benson H.","year":"1975","journal-title":"J Dent Res"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7916(82)90072-6"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7916(72)90045-6"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345730520061701"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345780570012601"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1016\/S0011-8532(22)00390-1","volume":"31","author":"DeMartino BK","year":"1987","journal-title":"Dent Clin North Am"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.60.1.133"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0272-7358(84)90016-3"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016359209012745"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-565960-4.50016-3"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7916(87)90069-3"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14219\/jada.archive.1973.0165"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15324796abm0804_3"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7916(82)90073-8"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.54.1.149"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01176188"},{"key":"atypb19","volume-title":"NIH consensus development conference summary No. 2 (November)","author":"National Institute of Dental Research and Office of Medical Publications, National Institutes of Health"},{"key":"atypb20","first-page":"220","volume":"34","author":"Pawlicki R.","year":"1987","journal-title":"Anesth Prog"},{"key":"atypb21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0901-5027(87)80155-8"},{"key":"atypb22","volume-title":"Contrast analysis: Focused comparisons in the analysis of variance","author":"Rosenthal R.","year":"1985"},{"key":"atypb23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-2909.90.1.89"}],"container-title":["Journal of Dental Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00220345930720081301","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00220345930720081301","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T21:02:15Z","timestamp":1777496535000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00220345930720081301"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1993,8]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1993,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/00220345930720081301"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00220345930720081301","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-0345","1544-0591"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-0345","type":"print"},{"value":"1544-0591","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1993,8]]}}}
