“…Regarding gender, the results indicate that in all courses women have a higher perception of stress than men, which is consistent with numerous studies [2,6,12,13,23,28]. The higher levels of stress in women can be explained by different patterns of response to stressful events by gender and also suggested that differences in intensity of response to perceived stressors could be explained by the different patterns of psychological morbidity and the social construction of masculinity, in which men are less expressive about their concerns.…”

“…This is in line with others research that also used the DES questionnaire [2,6,8,19,24], but differs from other studies [7,12,25,26]. The perception of stress does not depend on the progress of the course, but would be influenced by gender and the first option of studying dentistry [12].…”

Objective: To evaluate the stress factors perceived by dentistry students at the beginning of the academic year, according to academic year and gender. Material and Methods: Descriptive, exploratory, non-experimental, cross-sectional study. The DES30-Sp survey was applied, at the beginning of the first semester 2016 to a sample of 495 dentistry students from first to 5th year of Universidad San Sebastián, Concepción. The Statistical tests used were the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) and Levene homoscedasticity studies. The internal reliability of the data was estimated using the Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient. Mean, standard deviation and standard error were estimated. Comparisons between courses and gender were made using the General Multivariate ANOVA (Model III) using the tracers Pillai, Lambda de Wilks and Trace de Hotelling. The level of significance was α≤0.05 and β≥0.80. Results: It is observed that all three estimators were highly significant (p = 0.0005) for the Course and Gender factor. Stress increased steadily as the courses progressed with little inflection in all components of stress and in general stress. Women appeared with a higher perception than men in all components. Conclusion: There is a generalized stress in all the courses and it increases in the superior ones. The perception of the factors of stress varies according to the course and is greater in women.

“…It appears that modification of the teaching curriculum and environment, as well as adopting strategies for stress management and providing resources to help reduce stress in dental education is important to help students succeed. 10 From this study a conclusion can be drawn that understanding the subjects, fear of failure and teaching methods are the three main stressors which can cause the major amount stress in students in clinical set up. The study is just over a short period of time involving limited number of students.…”

“…Al-Sowygh et al in whose study the prime risk factor was academic workload. 10 In many of the Indian colleges the patient inflow is less and students are required to get their own patients for completing the quota. This poses a greater amount of stress among undergraduate students.…”

Objectives Public mental health concerns have been raised during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. The aim of this study was to assess the psychological impact of the pandemic on dental students in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross‐sectional analytical study was conducted among dental students from different universities in Saudi Arabia selected using 2‐stage cluster sampling. The psychological impact was assessed using the validated Arabic version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale–21 Item questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used as appropriate. A chi‐squared test was used to compare the proportions between the sociodemographic data and logistic regression analysis to identify variables associated with the student's responses. Results The internal consistency of the scale was excellent (0.954). A total of 697 dental students participated voluntarily in the study; their mean age was 21.76 ± 1.859 years, and 54.7% were female. The majority (96.1%) were single, and 69.4% lived in a household of > 5 persons. Significant differences in mental health outcomes were evident for gender, university, and survey time. Elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were recorded among 60.64%, 37.02%, and 34.92%, respectively, of the students. Females, students who lived alone, and junior students were more likely to experience psychological problems during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Conclusions The presence of elevated levels of depression, anxiety and stress among dental students highlights the need for psychological empowerment strategies involving institutional counseling services.
