The objective of this paper was to evaluate the studies that have reported on psychological issues among dental students in Saudi Arabia and to develop coping strategies to overcome these mental health-related issues. The present systematic review is in accordance with the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The search for the articles was carried out in the electronic databases by four independent researchers. The data search was performed in the electronic search engines like PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Saudi Digital Library for scientific research articles published from January 2000 until December 2020. STROBE guidelines were adopted for qualitative analysis of six articles which met the eligibility criteria. The analysis of the literature revealed that most of the studies included were conducted in the past 8 years in different regions of Saudi Arabia. Findings of this systematic review clearly state that dental students in Saudi Arabia experience higher levels of depression, stress and anxiety and stress during their education period, with a higher stress for female students compared to male students. There is an urgent need to introduce interventional programs and preventive strategies to overcome the long-term effects.
本文的目的是评估已报道的沙特阿拉伯牙科学生心理问题的研究，并制定应对策略以克服这些与心理健康相关的问题。本系统评价符合系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。由四名独立研究人员在电子数据库中进行文章检索。数据检索在电子搜索引擎中进行，如PubMed、谷歌学术、科学网、Scopus、Medline、Embase、Cochrane和沙特数字图书馆，检索2000年1月至2020年12月发表的科研文章。采用STROBE指南对符合纳入标准的六篇文章进行定性分析。文献分析表明，大多数纳入研究是在过去8年内在沙特阿拉伯不同地区进行的。本系统评价的结果明确表明，沙特阿拉伯的牙科学生在学习期间经历较高水平的抑郁、压力和焦虑，且女生的压力高于男生。迫切需要引入干预项目和预防策略以克服长期影响。
