Abstract

BACKGROUND

Infection with COVID-19 has serious consequences, which may lead to severe pneumonia and even death. There is a high risk of infection between dental personnel and patients due to working in proximity while performing dental treatments.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the awareness about COVID-19 and its preventive measures among final-year dental students.

METHODS

Institutional-based cross-sectional study, among the final-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery students, the sample size was 288 participants during the period from August 8, 2020, to August 15, 2020. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire formed of a series of close-ended questions about sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge about COVID-19, prevention in dental clinic, and perception toward COVID-19. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, version 25 (SPSS 20.0, Chicago, IL). The Chi-square test was used for the significance level, which was set at a value of P = 0.05 or less for all analyses.

RESULTS

Form 288 students, the average age (measured in years) was 23.31 ± 1.8. (means ± SD). A total of 224 (77.8%) respondents were females. For COVID-19-related knowledge, 282 (97.9%) students possessed a high knowledge level, 4 (1.4%) had moderate knowledge, and only 2 (0.7%) showed poor knowledge. Also, 95% of participants responded correctly with a total agreement to questions regarding infection control measurements, the least agreement response (85%) was for: avoid aerosol-generating procedures whenever possible. There are statistically significant relations between knowledge score and gender ( = 0.024), knowledge score and source of knowledge ( = 0.017), and perceived severity and knowledge score ( = 0.001).

CONCLUSION

This study illustrated that the knowledge score among participants is good. There are associations between gender and level of knowledge, knowledge score and source of knowledge, and perceived severity and knowledge score.

摘要

背景

感染新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）会产生严重后果，可能导致重症肺炎甚至死亡。由于牙科工作人员在进行牙科治疗时与患者近距离接触，他们之间存在较高的感染风险。

目的

本研究旨在评估牙科专业最后一年学生对COVID-19及其预防措施的认知情况。

方法

基于机构的横断面研究，研究对象为牙科外科学士最后一年的学生，样本量为288名参与者，研究时间段为2020年8月8日至2020年8月15日。通过一份自填式问卷收集数据，问卷由一系列关于社会人口学特征、对COVID-19的了解、牙科诊所的预防措施以及对COVID-19的认知的封闭式问题组成。使用社会科学统计软件包第25版（SPSS 20.0，伊利诺伊州芝加哥）对数据进行分析。卡方检验用于显著性水平分析，所有分析的显著性水平设定为P = 0.05或更低。

结果

在288名学生中，平均年龄（以岁为单位）为23.31±1.8（均值±标准差）。共有224名（77.8%）受访者为女性。对于与COVID-19相关的知识，282名（97.9%）学生知识水平较高，4名（1.4%）知识水平中等，只有2名（0.7%）知识水平较差。此外，95%的参与者对有关感染控制措施的问题给出了完全同意的正确回答，同意率最低的回答（85%）是：尽可能避免产生气溶胶的操作。知识得分与性别（P = 0.024）、知识得分与知识来源（P = 0.017）以及感知严重程度与知识得分（P = 0.001）之间存在统计学显著关系。
