“…Excluding each study one-by-one from the analysis did not substantially change the pooled prevalence of depression, which varied between 35% (95% CI: 24-46%), with Keskin et al [52] excluded, and 40% (95% CI: 29-52%), with Khanagar & Alfadley [53] excluded. This indicates that no single study had a disproportional impact on the overall prevalence.…”

“…Visual inspection of the funnel plot (Figure 3) suggested no publication bias for the estimate of prevalence of depression in dental students, confirmed by a non-significant Egger test (p = 0.679). Excluding each study one-by-one from the analysis did not substantially change the pooled prevalence of depression, which varied between 35% (95% CI: 24-46%), with Keskin et al [52] excluded, and 40% (95% CI: 29-52%), with Khanagar & Alfadley [53] excluded.

“…A total of 96 duplicate articles were deleted and 166 were excluded after a first screening of the titles and abstracts. After reading the remaining 43 articles in full, we finally included 13 in our meta-analysis [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. Exclusion reasons are detailed in Figure 1.…”

“…However, Hakami et al [51] found a prevalence of 60.7% in the same country in 2021. On the other hand, the highest rate of depression among dental students, 75.3%, was found by Keskin et al [52] in Turkey in 2021.…”

Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on the mental health of the population in general, and in college students in particular. Dental students have seen their teaching altered and their clinical practice reduced. This study was aimed at conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting levels of depression among dental students during the COVID-19 and estimating the pooled prevalence of depression. Materials and Methods: Medline via PubMed and other databases were searched for studies on the prevalence of depression in dental undergraduates, published from 1 December 2019 to 1 September 2021. The pooled proportions of depression were calculated with random effects models. Results: We identified 13 studies from 9 countries. The pooled prevalence of depression in dental students was 37% (95% CI: 26–49%) with no variation due to gender, response rate or methodological quality. We only found a significantly higher prevalence of depression in studies from Asia compared to Europe and America. Conclusions: Our results suggest that dental students are suffering from higher levels of depression compared with the general population or other college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, with differences across regions. Measures to improve mental health and wellbeing of dental students during the pandemic are needed.

BackgroundThe mental health of medical students is an issue worthy of attention, especially during COVID-19. Many studies have shown that depression and anxiety are the main problems faced by medical students. To assess the pooled prevalence of depression and anxiety among medical students worldwide, we conducted this meta-analysis.MethodsAccording to PRISMA, we used a computerized strategy to search studies in EMBASE, PubMed, PsycArticles, Web of Science, and China Biology Medicine disc. The pooled prevalence of depression and anxiety was calculated by a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was explored by subgroup analysis. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were also carried out in this meta-analysis.ResultsOf 1316 studies, 41 studies were selected based on 36608 medical students. The pooled depression prevalence was 37.9% (95% CI: 30.7–45.4%), and pooled anxiety prevalence was 33.7% (95% CI: 26.8–41.1%). The prevalence of depression and anxiety among medical students varied by gender, country, and continent.ConclusionThe data reported that the prevalence of depression and anxiety among medical students during COVID-19 was relatively higher than those of the general population and the healthcare workers. The impact of COVID-19 on medical students and how to protect the mental health of medical students are needed to determine through further research.Systematic Review Registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42021274015], identifier [CRD42021274015].

Objective The COVID‐19 pandemic has led to mental health hazards to healthcare providers in general and to undergraduate dental students. The present study undertakes a scoping review to identify and discuss the mental health issues and stressors impacting dental students globally during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods A systematic search following the Joanna Briggs Institute's framework for scoping reviews was conducted on Embase, MEDLINE by Ovid, Web of Science, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and ERIC to identify peer reviewed publications published globally since the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic in March 2020 until June 22, 2021. Manual search was also performed on Google scholar. Eligible studies were selected based on the predetermined set of criteria and focused specifically on mental health issues experienced by undergraduate dental students in the context of COVID‐19. Results Fifty‐five publications were retained. Fifty‐one reported stress, anxiety, or depression experienced by undergraduate dental students during the pandemic. Twenty‐five studies employed validated psychometric instruments to explore mental health status among the same students. A total of 28 publications reported that the predominant concern for students was fear of infection, especially during patient interaction. Adapting to virtual learning, clinical skill deficit due to lack of/limited practical training and social isolation were other majorly reported stressors. Conclusions Many mental health issues and stressors related to the COVID‐19 pandemic have been identified. Mitigation of COVID‐19‐related stressors on dental students’ mental health should be a priority across all dental academic institutions. Continued efforts should be made to create a supportive learning environment.
