Resumo
Dental activity and education have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anxiety levels in dental students during the first confinement due to COVID-19, and to analyze its relationship with sociodemographic factors, disease-related symptoms, the carrying out of quarantine and fear of contracting the disease. An observational and cross-sectional study was carried out through a questionnaire, which the previously mentioned data were recorded and anxiety was evaluated using the generalized anxiety scale (GAD-7). Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and multivariate linear regression analysis. The results showed high levels of anxiety, furthermore, the students ≥26 years old, women and those who were in quarantine had the highest anxiety. Diagnostic testing led to a decrease in the level of anxiety. Dentistry students were directly affected during the confinement, and it is necessary to implement measures such as studies to assess their evolution throughout the following courses, from the point of view of their mental health and curricular development.
