##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Résumé
Introduction : La pandémie du coronavirus (COVID19) pourrait avoir un impact sans précédent sur l’enseignement en médecine dentaire.
Objectif : Etudier l’impact de la pandémie du COVID-19 sur les étudiants en médecine dentaire en Tunisie.
Méthodes : Il s’agit d’une étude descriptive menée entre janvier et mars 2022 à la Faculté de Médecine Dentaire de Monastir (FMDM). La population source était formée des étudiants inscrits en 3ème, 4ème ,5ème et 6ème année lors de l’année universitaire 2021/2022. Le nombre potentiel des participants était de 881 selon l’administration. Les données ont été collectées via un questionnaire composé de 17 questions adaptées au contexte tunisien. Tout formulaire incomplet était exclu.
Résultats : Un total de 446 étudiants ont répondu au questionnaire (taux de réponse de 50,6%). L’étude a révélé que la FMDM n’était pas impliquée dans la résolution des défis associés à la pandémie du COVID-19 par rapport à l’enseignement pour 69,6%, en particulier le retard d’obtention des diplômes (63,0%). Les changements apportés à la formation pendant la pandémie étaient stressants pour 61,1% d’entre eux. En effet, 46,5% ont trouvé un support affectif auprès de leurs familles et de leurs amis alors que seulement 9,8% ont sollicité l’aide du personnel de la faculté.
Conclusion : Cette étude a fourni des informations importantes sur l’impact de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur l’enseignement à la FMDM. Ces résultats devraient inciter les responsables à instaurer de nouvelles mesures afin de préserver le niveau de l’enseignement.
