在COVID-19大流行的第一年，牙科学院不得不重新思考他们的教学方式和与学生的互动方式，以及向学生提供扎实的理论知识和实践技能的方式。背景资料：这项研究的目的是评估牙科学生对在线活动的看法，以及在大流行的第一波期间对他们的心理和身体健康的自我评估。方法：采用网上调查进行横断面研究。三百零三名学生，在所有六年的研究注册，被纳入研究。收集社会人口学和学术数据，沿着进行身体和精神状态的自我评价。一些项目调查了学生对远程学习的看法以及在线活动对他们成绩的影响。这些答案使用类似李克特的五项量表进行评分。数据分析采用SPSS（v.24）。结果如下：统计分析显示，超过两成的学生非常同意在疫情爆发的首个月感到更焦虑及抑郁，而超过三成的学生则对与家人的关系感到完全满意。五分之一的受访者表示，他们对与同事和朋友的关系完全不满意。总体而言，50.60%的学生在在线连接时完整地参加了课程/实验室。三分之二的受访者认为，他们的实践培训受到影响，由于在线活动，并不是所有的科目都可以在线教学。超过一半的受访者同意，最客观的评估方法是学校管理的多项选择考试，并认为只使用在线评估学生鼓励不道德的行为。年龄，参与在线活动，积极参与使用摄像机与学业成绩的满意度密切相关。结论：目前的研究结果表明，在线活动是一个很好的替代牙科学生在大流行的限制。大学教师和学术机构还应考虑远程学习的积极方面和消极后果，以改善教学经验，确保牙科学生的专业形成。
During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, dental faculties had to rethink their way of teaching and interacting with students and of delivering solid theoretical knowledge and practical skills to students. Background: The purpose of the study was to assess dentistry students’ opinions about the online activity, together with a self-evaluation of their mental and physical health, during the first wave of the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. Three hundred and three students, enrolled across all six years of study, were included in the research. Socio-demographic and academic data were collected, along with a self-evaluation of physical and mental status. Some items investigated students’ opinions about distance learning and the impact of that online activity on their achievement. The answers were rated using a five-item Likert-like scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS (v.24). Results: statistical analyses showed that more than 20% of the students strongly agreed with the statement that they felt more anxious and depressed during the first months of the pandemic, and more than 30% were totally satisfied with their relationships with their family members. One-fifth of the respondents declared that they were totally dissatisfied with the relationships with their colleagues and friends. Overall, 50.60% of the students attended the courses/labs in their entirety when they were connected online. Two-thirds of the respondents considered that their practical training was affected due to the online activity, and that not all of the subjects could be taught online. More than half of the respondents agreed that the most objective evaluation method is that of the multiple-choice exams administered at school, and considered that exclusively utilizing online assessments of students encourages unethical behaviors. Age, involvement in online activity, and active participation using video cameras were strongly correlated with satisfaction with academic results. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that online activity was a good alternative for dentistry students during the pandemic restrictions. The positive aspects, together with the negative consequences, of distance learning should also be taken into consideration by university teachers and academic institutions to improve teaching experiences and to ensure a solid professional formation for dentistry students.
