Awareness of Dental Students Related to COVID-19 and Problems in Distance Education
Öz: Objective: In this survey, it was aimed to evaluate the awareness of dental students related to COVID-19 and to define their problems and concerns during distance education. Materials and Methods: A new survey about COVID -19 was conducted. The online survey was sent to the students of seven dental faculties and the study consisted of 1310 students. Results: Gender distribution of the respondents was as 38% male and 62% female. While 24.4% were very worried about getting coronavirus, 78.7% were very worried about transmitting it to their immediate environment. Most of the students (84.7%) knew the 3 most evident symptoms of coronavirus, 90.5% of them were aware of the most important measures to be taken to protect against it. Students who thought that transition to distance education was necessary were afraid of getting infected with COVID-19 at a high rate if formal education will be started again (88.3%). Although 63.5% of the participants stated that theoretical courses given by distance education system were sufficient, only 9.8% of them stated that practical courses were sufficient. Conclusion: Currently challenges related to dental education remain as an important issue to be managed during this pandemic. Dental schools urgently need to improve their education policies and protocols and develop an emergency plan to maintain practical training safely.
Anahtar Kelime: Dişhekimliği Öğrencilerinin COVID-19 İle İlgili Farkındalığı ve Uzaktan Eğitimde Sorunlar
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmada, dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin COVID-19 ile ilgili farkındalıklarının değerlendirilmesi yanında uzaktan eğitimle ilgili sorun ve endişelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: COVID-19 ile ilgili yeni bir anket uygulandı. Anket online olarak yedi dişhekimliği fakültesi öğrencilerine gönderildi ve çalışmaya 1310 öğrenci katıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların cinsiyet dağılımı %38’i erkek, %62’si kadın şeklindeydi. %24.4'ü koronavirüse yakalanmaktan çok endişelenirken, %78.7'si yakın çevresine bulaştırmaktan çok endişeliydi. Öğrencilerin çoğu (%84.7) koronavirüsün en belirgin 3 semptomunu biliyordu, %90.5'i koronavirüsden korunmak için alınması gereken en önemli önlemlerin farkındaydı. Uzaktan eğitime geçişin gerekli olduğunu düşünen öğrenciler, örgün eğitime yeniden başlanırsa, yüksek oranda COVID-19 ile enfekte olmaktan korkuyordu (%88.3). Katılımcıların %63.5'i uzaktan eğitim sistemi ile verilen teorik derslerin yeterli olduğunu belirtmesine rağmen, sadece %9.8'i uygulamalı derslerin yeterli olduğunu belirtmiştir. Sonuç: Diş hekimliği eğitimiyle ilgili zorluklar, pandemi sırasında yönetilmesi gereken önemli bir konu olmaya halen devam etmektedir. Diş hekimliği fakültelerinin acil olarak eğitim politikalarını ve protokollerini iyileştirmeleri, pratik eğitimi güvenli bir şekilde sürdürmek için bir acil durum planı geliştirmeleri gerekmektedir.
