Mental Health, Dental Students, COVID-19Abstract
The mental health of dental students was impacted by the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The aim of the present study was to perform an integrative review addressing the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of dental students. The PubMed (Medline) and SciELO databases were searched for relevant articles published in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The search strategy was composed of combinations of the following keywords: COVID-19, pandemic, dental students, dental education and mental health. Data collection was conducted in August 2021. The inclusion criteria were articles with any study design that described the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and factors associated with the mental health of dental students. Studies without dental students as participants were excluded. The data were analyzed and presented in a table with the variables of interest: authors, year of publication, country, objective, study design, main results and conclusions. The articles demonstrated the negative impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of dental students. The perception of general mental health was the main factor associated with diagnoses of depression, anxiety and stress. The majority of students reported that online platforms were insufficient for learning clinical skills. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic exerted a negative impact on the mental health of dental students, underscoring the need for public policies and psychological support strategies involving institutional counseling services.
