| description | Background
Social isolation is ongoing worldwide with the aim to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 responsible for the COVID‐19 pandemic. However, social isolation leads to significant psycho‐emotional changes. This study aimed to assess the effect of distance education (DE) activities implemented due to social isolation, on the quality of life of undergraduate dentistry students.
Method
An e‐questionnaire (Google Forms®) was administered to identify specific DE activities after social isolation and included the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)‐Bref questionnaire. The e‐questionnaire was sent 14 days after the initiation of social isolation, remaining available for 48 hours. Cronbach's alpha and the means of the quality‐of‐life domains were calculated and analysed using the Friedman/Dunn and Spearman's correlation tests. After ranking, chi‐squared and Fisher's exact tests plus multinomial logistic regression were performed (SPSS, P |

However, social isolation leads to significant psycho‐emotional changes. This study aimed to assess the effect of distance education (DE) activities implemented due to social isolation, on the quality of life of undergraduate dentistry students.

An e‐questionnaire (Google Forms®) was administered to identify specific DE activities after social isolation and included the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)‐Bref questionnaire. The e‐questionnaire was sent 14 days after the initiation of social isolation, remaining available for 48 hours. Cronbach's alpha and the means of the quality‐of‐life domains were calculated and analysed using the Friedman/Dunn and Spearman's correlation tests. After ranking, chi‐squared and Fisher's exact tests plus multinomial logistic regression were performed (SPSS, P < .05).
Result
There was an excellent internal consistency of WHOQOL‐Bref (α = 0.916), and the mean quality of life (0‐100) was 70.66 ± 12.61. The psychological domain was the most affected (P < .001). The social domain exhibited the weakest correlation with overall quality of life (P < .001, r = 0.688). The use of the Internet, cell phones and streaming media increased, although all students had DE activities. In the multivariate analysis, attending virtual meetings (P = .028) and performing DE activities in an office/study room (P = .034) were significantly associated with good quality of life.
Conclusion
Facing social isolation never previously experienced by this generation, undergraduate dentistry students are at risk of reduced quality of life. Therefore, performing DE activities through devices with teacher‐student interaction is a key coping tool.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1396-5883</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1600-0579</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/eje.12583</identifier><identifier>PMID: 32780535</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>coronavirus ; Coronaviruses ; COVID-19 ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; dental ; Dentistry ; distance ; Distance learning ; education ; Education, Dental ; Education, Distance ; Humans ; Multivariate analysis ; Original ; Pandemics ; Quality of Life ; Questionnaires ; SARS-CoV-2 ; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ; Social discrimination learning ; Social interactions ; Social isolation ; Students ; Surveys and Questionnaires</subject><ispartof>European journal of dental education, 2021-02, Vol.25 (1), p.124-134</ispartof><rights>2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
