“…A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was applied. A representative sample of Paraguayan university students was calculated with Epi Info 7.0 program (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA) using the formula for an infinite population, with an estimated proportion of 84.52% [27], a confidence level of 95%, and a precision of 5%, which gave us a minimum respondent size of 202. To this, we added 20% for refusals and 20% for incomplete surveys.…”

We aimed to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in university students in Paraguay during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 students from four universities in Paraguay in 2021. The DASS-21 mental health scale was used to measure the outcomes (depression, anxiety, and stress) and evaluate their association with socio-educational variables. A total of 77.1% of the participants were women and 136 (46.4%) were between 21 and 25 years old. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 74.7%, 87.4%, and 57%, respectively. We found that being a woman and studying at a public university was positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Receiving COVID-19 training increases the prevalence of mental health problems. In conclusion, high levels of anxiety, depression, and stress were found in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Being a woman, studying at a public university, and receiving training on COVID-19 were factors associated with a higher prevalence of presenting all the mental health problems evaluated. Furthermore, students aged 31 and over had a higher prevalence of depression and stress.

Aim: During the major waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, Peru had the highest case fatality rate in the world. This situation may have caused psychological conditions with somatic consequences in students who were susceptible to infection due to exposure to infected patients. The present study was designed to investigate the association between anxiety levels and painful temporomandibular disorders in dental students from two Peruvian provinces during the major waves of COVID-19 infection. Materials and Methods: The study conducted was both longitudinal and analytical. The total population consisted of 558 dental students from Peru, with 314 from Chimbote and 244 from Trujillo. No sample size calculation was necessary as the entire student population was invited to participate. Of the 366 students who initially joined the closed cohort, only 204 remained at the end of the study. During the first and second waves of COVID-19 infections, the Zung anxiety diagnostic test and the diagnostic criteria for painful temporomandibular disorder (DC/TMD) triage questionnaire were used to assess anxiety levels. The study also evaluated variables such as sex, age, marital status, academic year of study, area of residence, housing type, and occupation. The study employed statistical analysis to determine the relative risk (RR) of painful TMD incidence during the first and second waves of COVID-19 infections. A logit model was also used to determine the presence of painful TMD, with odds ratio (OR) as the measure. The statistical significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results: During the initial wave of COVID-19 infections, 50% (95% CI: 43.1–56.9%) of the 204 students experienced anxiety, while 26.5% (95% CI: 20.4–32.6%) reported TMD. Furthermore, those who exhibited anxiety were eight times more likely to develop TMD (OR = 8.88, 95% CI: 3.95 - 19.97). In the second wave, 62.3% (95% CI: 55.6–69.0%) of students reported anxiety, and 86.3% (95% CI: 81.6–91.0%) reported TMD. Additionally, individuals with anxiety were found to have a significantly higher likelihood of developing painful TMD, with a nine-fold increase in risk (OR = 9.87, 95% CI: 5.08–19.19). The cohort of students exposed and not exposed to anxiety during the first and second waves of COVID-19 infection showed a 4.58 times higher risk (95% CI: 2.61–8.03) of developing painful TMD due to anxiety. Conclusion: Between the first and second waves of COVID-19 infection, the prevalence of anxiety and painful temporomandibular disorder (TMD) increased among dental students. This establishes anxiety as a significant predisposing factor for the development of painful TMD over time.
