Do dental students regret the career choice because of COVID-19 pandemic?
Öz: Objective: Dentists have high risk of being infected during COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the dental students' knowledge and anxiety levels, online education views and the rate of career choice regret associated with COVID-19. Methods: An online questionnaire was formed on Google docs and shared only with the dental students. Questionnaires were divided into three sections as knowledge about COVID-19, anxiety against pandemic and online education feedbacks. Mann-Whitney U Test and Spearman Rho correlation Analyses were used to analyze the relationship between knowledge and anxiety levels. Results: Knowledge level scores of the preclinical group were statistically significantly lower than the clinical group (P = .000; P < .05). Anxiety decreased as the level of knowledge increased. (r = -0,116, P = .007). 27.7% of the students regretted choosing dentistry and their anxiety score was found to be significantly higher than those who did not regret (P = .000; P < .05). Conclusion: The knowledge of dental students on COVID-19 is acceptable and it reduces the anxiety. Dental students should be educated about COVID-19 infection to reduce their anxiety and regret, as well as to make them more confident and conscious. Educational policies should be determined by considering the expecta- tions and demands of the students.
Anahtar Kelime: Diş hekimliği öğrencileri COVID-19 pandemisinde meslek seçimlerinden pişman mı?
Öz: Amaç: Diş hekimlerinin COVID-19 salgını sırasında enfekte olma riski yüksektir. Bu kesitsel çalışma, diş he- kimliği öğrencilerinin COVID-19 pandemisi ile ilgili kaygı ve bilgi düzeylerini, online eğitime dair görüşlerini ve kariyer seçimi sebebiyle pişmanlık oranlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntemler: Google docs üzerinde online bir anket oluşturulmuş ve diş hekimliği öğrencileri ile paylaşılmış- tır. Anket, COVID-19 hakkında bilgi, pandemi kaygısı ve online eğitim geri bildirimleri olmak üzere üç bölüme ayrılmıştır. Bilgi ve kaygı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için Mann-Whitney U Testi ve Spearman Rho Korelasyon Analizleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Preklinik grubunun bilgi düzeyi klinik grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşüktür (P = ,000; P < ,05). Bilgi düzeyi arttıkça, kaygı düzeyi azalmıştır (r = -0,116, P = ,007). Öğrencilerin %27,7'si diş he- kimliği seçiminden pişmanlık duymaktadır ve kaygı puanları pişmanlık duymayanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (P = ,000; P < ,05). Sonuç: Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin COVID-19 hakkındaki bilgileri kabul edilebilir düzeydedir. Öğrencilerin daha bilinçli ve özgüven sahibi olmalarını sağlamak için, kaygı düzeylerinin ve pişmanlık oranlarının azaltılmasına yö- nelik COVID-19 enfeksiyonu hakkında eğitim verilmelidir. Eğitim politikaları, öğrencilerin beklenti ve taleplerini dikkate alarak belirlenmelidir.
