Aim Originating in China in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spread to more than 216 countries in the world by May 2020. Because dentists are at a higher risk of contracting the disease, the present study assessed the fear and anxiety among dental practitioners of becoming infected with COVID-19. Materials and Methods An online cross-sectional questionnaire survey comprising 14 questions was conducted among dental practitioners of Mumbai. Age, gender, highest qualification, type of practice, years of practice, and place of residence were the demographic variables were recorded. It was a crosssectional questionnaire-based study carried out among the dental professionals by using a 5-point Likert scale to record the responses of study participants. Comparison of the mean score was done using t-test for 2 variables and analysis of variance for 3 or more than 3 variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis of the levels of fear with demographic variables was done. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Summary and Conclusions The present study demonstrates cross-sectional data of fear and anxiety among dental practitioners during the COVID-19 outbreak. Heightened levels of fear observed in this study call for a nationwide analysis of fear among dentists and deliberate management strategies for the same. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
