Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019'un [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisinin diş hekimliği öğrencileri üzerindeki psikolojik etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: COVID-19 pandemisinin diş hekimliği öğrencileri üzerindeki psikolojik etkisini belirlemek için Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği -21 (DASS-21) ve Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği kullanıldı. Anket soruları Google Forms®a aktarıldı. Daha sonra Türk Diş Hekimleri Birliği aracılığıyla elektronik ortamda öğrencilere ulaştırıldı. Elde edilen veriler SPSS veri programı ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaşları 19-23 arasında değişen 771 kız 279 erkek olmak üzere 1.150 öğrenci katılmıştır. Sırasıyla katılımcıların depresyon, anksiyete, stres ve umutsuzluk için %70,26'sı, %54,35'i, %44,17'si ve %70,69'u genel olarak yükselmiş düzeyler göstermektedir. Şiddetli ve aşırı şiddetli olarak gruplandırılan puanlar, depresyon için katılımcıların %26,87'sini, anksiyete için %20,69'unu, stres için %16'sını ve umutsuzluk için %17,13'ünü oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların sonuçlarında cinsiyet, kronik rahatsızlık, ilaç kullanımı, sigara kullanımı, alkol kullanımı, hane halkı gibi değişkenlerde önemli farklılıklar vardı. Kadın, 2 kişi yaşayan, kronik rahatsızlığı olan, ilaç kullanan, sigara kullanan, alkol kullanan katılımcılarda anksiyete, depresyon, stres ve umutsuzluk puanları daha fazladır. Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında diş hekimliği öğrencilerinde yüksek düzeyde depresyon, anksiyete, stres ve umutsuzluk vardı. Bu çalışma, pandeminin Türkiye'deki diş hekimliği öğrencileri üzerindeki psikolojik etkisi hakkında temel veriler sunmaktadır ve olası bir karantina durumunda öğrencilerde gözlemlenebilecek stres, anksiyete ve depresyonun varlığını erkenden tespit etmek için bu verilerin bir psikolog tarafından da değerlendirilmesi uygun bir yaklaşım olacaktır.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the psychological impact of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on dental students. Material and Methods: Personal Information Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21) and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used to determine the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dental students. Survey questions were imported into Google Forms®. It was then electronically delivered to the students through the Turkish Dental Association The obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS data program. Results: A total of 1,150 students, 771 female and 279 male, aged between 19-23 participated in the study. For depression, anxiety, stress, and hopelessness, 70.26%, 54.35%, 44.17% and 70.69% of the participants, respectively, show elevated levels in general. Scores grouped as severe and extremely severe comprised 26.87% of participants for depression, 20.69% for anxiety, 16% for stress, and 17.13% for hopelessness. There were significant differences in participants' results in variables such as gender, chronic disease, medication use, smoking, alcohol use, and household member. Anxiety, depression, stress, and hopelessness scores were higher in participants who were female, had 2 households, had chronic illnesses, used medication, smoked, and consumed alcohol. Conclusion: In this study, dental students during the COVID-19 pandemic had high levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and hopelessness. This study provides basic data on the psychological impact of the pandemic on dentistry students in Türkiye, and it would be an appropriate approach to evaluate these data by a psychologist in order to early detect the presence of stress, anxiety, and depression that may be observed in students in a possible quarantine situation.
