目的：冠状病毒病19（COVID-19）影响了马来西亚的牙科教育。然而，关于牙科学生对COVID-19的知识，感知和行为的研究非常有限。因此，本研究旨在确定马来西亚牙科学生对COVID-19的知识状况，感知风险和预防行为。方法：在马来西亚13所牙科学校的学生中进行了一项横断面研究，使用在线问卷。结果：在355名受访者中，93.5%的人对COVID-19的知识得分很高。女性受访者在感知风险和预防行为方面的得分高于男性。华人受访者在知识方面得分最高，而马来人受访者的感知风险得分最高。平均预防行为评分在不同种族之间没有差异。在校学生在知识和感知风险方面得分更高，而校外学生则采取更多的预防行为。临床专业学生的知识得分高于基础专业学生。最后一年的学生得分更高的知识和感知风险相比，他们的大三学生。结论：大多数牙科学生对COVID-19有良好的知识和较高的感知风险，并且他们实践了大部分预防行为。然而，关于这种疾病的最新信息应纳入牙科学校的课程表，并定期更新。
Purpose: Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has affected dental education in Malaysia. However, studies on dental students’ knowledge, perception, and behaviors with regards to COVID-19 are very limited. Thus, this study aims to determine the knowledge status, perceived risk, and preventive behaviors of dental students in Malaysia regarding COVID-19. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among students from 13 dental schools across Malaysia using online questionnaires. Results: From 355 respondents, 93.5% obtained a high score of knowledge of COVID-19. Female respondents scored higher than males in perceived risks and preventive behaviors. Chinese respondents scored highest in knowledge, while Malay respondents had the highest perceived risk score. The mean preventive behavior score did not vary across ethnicity. On-campus students scored higher in knowledge and perceived risk whereas off-campus students practiced more preventive behaviors. Clinical students’ knowledge score was higher than preclinical students. Final year students scored higher in knowledge and perceived risk compared to their juniors. Conclusion: The majority of dental students have good knowledge and a high perceived risk of COVID-19, and they practiced most of the preventive behaviors. However, the latest information on this disease should be incorporated into dental schools’ curriculums and updated periodically.
