Resumo: | ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the prevalence of anxiety in stomatology students during the COVID-19 pandemic and its relationship with the intention to leave their study programs. Methods: descriptive-cross-sectional study where an online survey was applied to assess the mental health of stomatology students and residents and the intention to abandon their studies during COVID-19. 917 students from 16 provinces responded. A 24-item survey was made on intentions to leave the study programs both in undergraduate students and residents of specialties, general mental health from the point of view of anxiety and effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The generalized anxiety disorder scale was used to determine anxiety. The variables necessary to carry out the analyzes were dichotomized and the bivariate relationships between the intention to abandon the study programs and each predictor were evaluated by generating Odds Ratio as a measure of effect size. Independence tests were performed to identify differences in proportions with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: 37.4% of the students had Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The need for libraries (1.92 [1.34; 2.74]; <0.001), virtual libraries (2.19 [1.66; 2.89]; <0.001), tutoring services (3.26 [2.47; 4.32]; 0.000), digital books (1.65 [1.26 ; 2.17]; <0.001) and other needs (1.70 [1.06; 2.75]; 0.029). Anxiety was related to the intention to abandon their careers (3.05 [2.01; 4.69]; p <0.001) and the same as the perception of whether the COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacted their mental health (1.87 [1.20; 2.99] The logistic regression showed significance reaffirming the results. Conclusions: More than a quarter of the participants had generalized anxiety disorder. The desire to abandon their study programs by the participants was related to the presence of anxiety and their self-perception that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on their mental health. |

Métodos: estudio descriptivo- transversal donde se aplicó una encuesta online donde se evaluó la salud mental de estudiantes y residentes de estomatología y la intención de abandonar sus estudios durante la COVID-19. Respondieron 917 estudiantes de 16 provincias. Se confeccionó encuesta de 24 ítems sobre intenciones de dejar los programas de estudios tanto en estudiantes de pregrado como residentes de especialidades, salud mental general desde el punto de vista de la ansiedad y efectos de la Pandemia de COVID-19. Para la determinación de la ansiedad se empleó la escala de trastorno de ansiedad generalizada. Se dicotomizaron las variables necesarias para efectuar los análisis y evaluó las relaciones bivariadas entre la intención de abandonar los programas de estudio y cada predictor mediante la generación de Relación de Momios como medida de tamaño del efecto. Se realizaron pruebas de independencia para identificar diferencias en las proporciones. Resultados: El 37.4% de los estudiantes tuvieron Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada. La necesidad de bibliotecas (1.92 [1.34;2.74]), bibliotecas virtuales (2.19 [1.66;2.89]), servicios de tutoría (3.26 [2.47;4.32]), libros digitales (1.65 [1.26;2.17]) y otras necesidades (1.70 [1.06;2.75]). La ansiedad estuvo relacionada con la intención de abandonar sus carreras (3.05 [2.01;4.69]) e igual que la percepción de si la pandemia de la COVID-19 había impactado negativamente en su salud mental (1.87[1.20;2.99]. La regresión logística arrojó significación reafirmando los resultados. Conclusiones: Más de la cuarta parte de los participantes tuvo trastorno de ansiedad generalizada. El deseo de abandonar sus programas de estudio por los participantes estuvo relacionado la presencia de ansiedad y la autopercepción de estos de que la pandemia del COVID-19 ha impactado en su salud mental.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2021-11-16info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/319310.1590/SciELOPreprints.3193spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3193/5734Copyright (c) 2021 Alain Manuel Chaple Gil, Maicel Eugenio Monzón Pérez, Ernesto Boris Rodríguez Ledezmahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChaple Gil, Alain ManuelMonzón Pérez, Maicel Eugenio Rodríguez Ledezma, Ernesto Borisreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2021-11-11T20:26:25Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/3193Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2021-11-11T20:26:25SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
