Abstract

Objective: To examine fear levels of COVID-19 among dental students at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Participants-162 first through fourth year dental students who were enrolled at the HBCU dental school between January 27, 2021 and May 3, 2021.

Methods: Students completed an online survey that included the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and information on demographic variables.

Results: Associations were observed between the fear of COVID-19 and the dental student's gender, ethnicity, marital status and self-rated health. Those in the highest quartile for the fear scale were less likely to be African American and more likely to be Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic or of Middle Eastern descent as compared to those in the lowest quartile.

Conclusion: Dental students at an HBCU are a population particularly vulnerable to fear of COVID-19 possibly due to the high demands and mental stress of dental school.

一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 的牙科学生对 COVID-19 的恐惧。

目的研究历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）牙科学生对 COVID-19 的恐惧程度。参与者： 162 名牙科专业一年级至四年级学生，他们于 2021 年 1 月 27 日至 2021 年 5 月 3 日期间在这所 HBCU 牙科学校注册：学生们完成了一项在线调查，其中包括对 COVID-19 的恐惧量表（FCV-19S）和人口统计学变量信息：结果：观察到对 COVID-19 的恐惧与牙科学生的性别、种族、婚姻状况和自我健康评价之间存在关联。恐惧量表最高四分位数的学生与最低四分位数的学生相比，非裔美国人的可能性较小，而亚裔或太平洋岛民、西班牙裔或中东后裔的可能性较大：结论：可能是由于牙科学校的高要求和精神压力，美国高商大学的牙科学生是特别容易对 COVID-19 产生恐惧的人群。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
