Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The study aims to evaluate the anxiety level of dentists with various professional experiences during Covid-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data in this study were collected from dentists who agreed to fill out the questionnaire, which could be accessed online in November 2020, and by using the Google Form platform. The participants were divided into three groups to examine their anxiety levels by their professional experience. Dentists who completed their face-to-face training halfway due to the pandemic and completed their online training for ≤1 year were included in the first group, while dentists with 1-10 years of professional experience in the second group and more than 10 years in the third group. Corona Virus Anxiety Scale (CAS), adapted into Turkish and whose reliability and validity studies were carried out, was administered. RESULTS: A total of 547 dentists, 193 male and 354 female, with a mean age of 31.08±7.78 years, participated in this study. A significant difference was found between the three groups when compared to the professional experience for the CAS scores. There was no significant difference between the dentists with ≤1-year experience and 1-10 years of experience for in terms of their anxiety level. However, a significant difference was found between the dentists with ≤1 year of experience having higher anxiety levels than those with >10 years of experience. The dentists with >10 years of experience had higher anxiety levels than those with 1-10 years of experience (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The study results show that a relationship exists between the duration of professional experience and coronavirus anxiety.
