Resilience and psychological factors among dentistry students who received face-to-face lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic. BMC Med Educ. 2024 Apr 24;24(1):446. doi: 10.1186/s12909-024-05445-8. PMID: 38658926; PMCID: PMC11044569.1472-6920https://hdl.handle.net/10115/37754Background: This research evaluated whether the relationships between factors of resilience, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety in dental students with changes in teaching and learning methods. We also studied the psychological impact of face-to-face lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study used Google Forms to collect data with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), Connor-Davidson Risk Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI and BDI-II). An open-ended question was also asked about important learning difficulties. Results: The analysis revealed very high levels of resilience (30.23 ± 5.84), self-esteem in the normal range (29.08 ± 4.03), minimal depression levels (12.32 ± 8.05), and low anxiety levels (17.20 ± 12.41). There were no significant differences between sociodemographic variables ranges in regard to all psychological questionnaires. No high levels of depression and anxiety were found. Conclusions: The levels were low compared to other studies in which online teaching was used, which is explained by the fact that the students retained adequate resilience and self-esteem thanks to being able to contact teachers and, above all, their own peers.engAtribución 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AnxietyDentristyDepressionLearningResilienceStudentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1186/s12909-024-05445-8info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
