Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the psychological state of university students has been a cause for concern. In particular, odontology students have experienced symptoms of anxiety due to the closure of universities and the suspension of clinical training.
Medline via PubMed was searched for studies on the prevalence of anxiety in dental undergraduates, published from 1 December 2019 to 1 August 2021.
A total of fifteen studies were included in this review. Our results show a prevalence of anxiety of 35% reported by dental students, which was independent of gender, response rate or methodological quality. The only significant finding was a lower prevalence of anxiety in studies located in Europe compared to those located in other continents.
The results suggest dental students are experiencing significant levels of anxiety during this COVID-19 pandemic and that there seem to be differences between students from different regions of the world. Therefore, it is important to help dental students psychologically as the pandemic situation continues.
自 COVID-19 大流行以来，大学生的心理状态一直令人担忧。特别是由于大学关闭和临床培训暂停，牙科学员经历了焦虑症状。
通过 PubMed 检索了 2019 年 12 月 1 日至 2021 年 8 月 1 日期间发表的关于牙科本科生焦虑患病率的研究。
本综述共纳入了十五项研究。我们的研究结果表明，报告的牙科学生焦虑患病率为 35%，这与性别、回复率或方法学质量无关。唯一显著的发现是，与位于其他大陆的研究相比，位于欧洲的研究中焦虑的患病率较低。
结果表明，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，牙科学生经历了严重程度的焦虑，而且来自世界不同地区的学生之间似乎存在差异。因此，在大流行形势持续的情况下，帮助牙科学生进行心理疏导非常重要。
