Resumo: | Oral health care is considered a risky practice for COVID-19, mainly due to the generation of aerosols and proximity to the patient. Because of this, dental practice was changed in the face of the pandemic. Thus, the objective was to investigate the perceptions of dentistry students regarding fear and anxiety in relation to patient management and the risk of infection in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 167 undergraduate dentistry students from a university center in the interior of Ceará. Data collection was carried out between March and April 2021 by completing an online questionnaire subdivided into: sociodemographic data, assessment of fear and insecurity regarding dental care and assessment of anxiety symptoms, through the Anxiety Inventory of Beck. Data were then analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0, considering a 95% confidence level and significance of p<0.05. The average of the Beck anxiety scale was 18.84 (±12.88) and 61.1% of the students reported minimal/mild symptoms of anxiety. The presence of minimal/mild symptoms was related to possession of a belief/religion (p=0.039), lack of fear in caring for patients with suspected COVID-19 (p=0.003), absence of insecurity in returning to clinical practices (p=0.008). In short, most students had minimal/mild symptoms of anxiety, which was associated with less fear and insecurity in performing clinical practices and the presence of a religion. |

Debido a esto, la práctica dental cambió ante la pandemia. Así, el objetivo fue investigar las percepciones de los estudiantes de odontología sobre el miedo y la ansiedad en relación al manejo del paciente y el riesgo de infección en el contexto de la pandemia COVID-19. Se trata de un estudio transversal realizado con 167 estudiantes de licenciatura en Odontología de un centro universitario del interior de Ceará. La recogida de datos se realizó entre marzo y abril de 2021 mediante la cumplimentación de un cuestionario online subdividido en: datos sociodemográficos, valoración del miedo e inseguridad en el cuidado dental y valoración de los síntomas de ansiedad, a través del Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck. Luego, los datos se analizaron utilizando el Paquete Estadístico para Ciencias Sociales (SPSS) 22.0, considerando un nivel de confianza del 95% y un nivel de significancia de p <0.05. El promedio de la escala de ansiedad de Beck fue 18,84 (± 12,88) y el 61,1% de los estudiantes refirió síntomas mínimos / leves de ansiedad. La presencia de síntomas mínimos / leves se relacionó con la posesión de una creencia / religión (p = 0,039), falta de miedo en el cuidado de pacientes con sospecha de COVID-19 (p = 0,003), ausencia de inseguridad en el retorno a la práctica clínica (p = 0,008). En resumen, la mayoría de los estudiantes presentaban síntomas mínimos / leves de ansiedad, los cuales se asociaban con menos miedo e inseguridad en la realización de prácticas clínicas y la presencia de una religión.A assistência em saúde bucal é considerada como uma prática de risco para a transmissão e contaminação pelo vírus da COVID-19, principalmente devido à geração de aerossóis e a proximidade com o paciente.
