The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new coronavirus detected in China at the end of 2019. Because SARS-CoV-2 is highly infectious due to contamination in the air, there is a high risk of infection in the dental environment which is represents a serious problem for professionals and students (dentistry and dental hygiene). In Italy, since February 23, 2020, the government has suspended all teaching activities of schools and universities.
An anonymous questionnaire was administered to the students of the degree courses in Dental Hygiene of the Emilia Romagna Region, one of the most affected regions in Italy. The survey was intended to highlight the practical and emotional consequences of the emergency of COVID-19 on educational activities and in the training of students.
The survey was sent to the 150 students enrolled in the universities of Bologna, Ferrara and Modena and Reggio Emilia; 141 of them completed it (94%). Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, several surveys have been proposed to measure the impact of this emergency situation on dental professionals; at present, however, there are still no assessments for dental hygiene degree courses, in particular aimed at assessing the psychological impact on students.
Students consider the dental hygienist as a risky profession, while the risk taken by patients is considered as low. Given the concern reported the students, it would be useful to address the issue of proper assessment of risk during the university training of dental hygienists.
严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）是一种于 2019 年底在中国发现的新型冠状病毒。由于 SARS-CoV-2 具有很高的空气传播污染性，因此在牙科环境中存在很高的感染风险，这对专业人员和学生（牙科和口腔卫生）来说是一个严重的问题。在意大利，自 2020 年 2 月 23 日起，政府暂停了所有学校和大学的教学活动。
对艾米利亚-罗马涅地区口腔卫生学位课程的学生进行了匿名问卷调查，该地区是意大利受影响最严重的地区之一。该调查旨在突出 COVID-19 紧急情况对教育活动和学生培训的实际和情感影响。
该调查发送给了博洛尼亚、费拉拉和摩德纳-雷焦艾米利亚大学的 150 名注册学生；其中 141 名学生（94%）完成了调查。自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来，已经提出了多项调查来衡量这种紧急情况对牙科专业人员的影响；然而，目前仍然没有针对口腔卫生学位课程的评估，特别是旨在评估学生心理影响的评估。
学生认为口腔保健员是一种高风险的职业，而患者所承担的风险则被认为较低。鉴于学生报告的担忧，在口腔卫生员的大学培训中，对风险进行适当评估将是有用的。
