“…Following a detailed analysis of the 31 included articles, we found that the majority (26/31) of articles highlighted a negative impact of quarantine, isolation, or lockdown on the psychological wellbeing of medical students as seen through various self-administrated online tools and measurement scales (Table 1). However, the three studies [17][18][19] we identified with "control data" showed either an improvement [18] or no difference on the psychological wellbeing of medical students with quarantine, isolation, or lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…Interestingly, three of these studies were the only studies identified in our scoping review, with "control data". Pereira's longitudinal study illustrated a lack of significant variations in the prevalence of common mental disorders between 2018 (62.2%), 2019 (60.9%) and 2020 (59.2%) for the SQR-20 ≥ 7 cut off value (p = 0.762) [19]. Further, Bolatov's study unpredictably depicted that quarantine had a significant positive impact whereby both depression (27.6%) and anxiety (15.5%) rates decreased during quarantine when compared to the prevalence prior, depression (49.3%) and anxiety (42.3%) [18].…”

“…between clinical and preclinical study years, as well as using a follow-up survey to assess possible changes as the academic year goes on. The other studies that had a "control group" included, a study [18] where data on burnout, depression, anxiety was collected via questionnaires on 1st to 5th year medical students during a period of traditional learning (October-November 2019) before the pandemic and compared with a second study completed during an online learning period during the COVID 19 pandemic (April 13-19, 2020) and a study [19] which had started gathering prospective data on the prevalence of common mental disorders in medical students three years before and during COVID-19 quarantine. Following a detailed analysis of the 31 included articles, we found that the majority (26/31) of articles highlighted a negative impact of quarantine, isolation, or lockdown on the psychological wellbeing of medical students as seen through various self-administrated online tools and measurement scales (Table 1).…”

Background The goal of this study was to identify the nature and extent of the available published research on the impact of social isolation, on the psychological wellbeing of medical students, who had to quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Design. Scoping review. Search strategy. The PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews), guideline, was used to structure this study. A search strategy was carried out across six bibliographic databases. PubMed, Embase, ERIC, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Web of Science. The following search terms were used, “medical student*” AND “impact” AND “quarantine” AND “COVID-19”. Searches were initially confined to articles published (excluding conference abstracts) between 1 January 2019- 21 August 2021 but updated in September 2022 with the original search terms expanded to include “isolation” or “lockdown” as well as “quarantine” and the period of search extended to 21 August 2022. A search of secondary references was conducted. Data from the selected studies were extracted, and the following variables recorded; first author and year of publication, country of study, study design, sample size, participants, mode of analysing impact of quarantine from COVID-19 on mental health and results of the studies. Results A total of 223 articles were identified in the original search in 2021 and 387 articles, in the updated search in 2022. Following the exclusion of duplicates and application of the agreed inclusion and exclusion criteria, 31 full-text articles were identified for the final review, most of which were cross sectional studies. Sample sizes ranged from 13 to 4193 students and most studies used a variety of self-administered questionnaires to measure psychological wellbeing. Overall, 26 of the 31 articles showed that quarantine had a negative impact on the psychological well-being of medical students. However, two studies showed no impact, and three studies showed an improvement. Conclusion The evidence is growing. Quarantine because of the COVID-19 pandemic may have had a negative impact on the psychological wellbeing of medical students, but this is not certain. There is therefore a need for more studies to further evaluate this research question.

A search strategy was carried out across six bibliographic databases. PubMed, Embase, ERIC, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Web of Science.

Data from the selected studies were extracted, and the following variables recorded; first author and year of publication, country of study, study design, sample size, focus group, mode of analyzing impact of quarantine from COVID-19 on mental health and results of the studies.ResultsA total of 223 articles were identified across the six databases, from which 69 duplicates were excluded resulting in 154 full-text articles. Of these, 29 met the inclusion criteria. Following a review of the abstracts of these 29, ten full-text articles were identified all of which were cross sectional studies. Sample sizes ranged from 182 to 860 students and all studies used a variety of self-administered questionnaires to measure psychological wellbeing. Eight of the 10 articles showed that quarantine had a negative impact on the psychological well-being of medical students.ConclusionThe evidence is small but growing. Quarantine because of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have had a negative impact on the psychological wellbeing of medical students. There is a need for more studies to further evaluate this research question.Article summaryStrengths and limitations of this study.This was the first scoping review as far as we know of the literature in this area.Many of the studies analysed in this review were cross-sectional in nature.A variety of measurement tools were used to assess psychological wellbeing, preventing comparison of results and data synthesis.Many of the studies included in the review did not include a control group of medical students, pre-COVID-19 quarantine.A detailed critical appraisal of the studies included was not conducted, however this is not mandatory for scoping reviews.
