description This study investigated and compared the perceived stress levels and coping strategies of dental students in Indonesia and Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey was conducted online in 2022 for dental students from the University of Indonesia and Can Tho University, Vietnam (n = 304). Perceived stress levels and coping strategies were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire about student sociodemographic factors, learning experiences, coping strategies, stress-related factors, and stress levels. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests. This study showed the overall mean stress level was 23.9 (SD = 5.63), with a significant difference observed between Indonesian (24.44, SD = 5.14) and Vietnamese students (23.32, SD = 6.13) (p = 0.016), indicating potential variations in stress experiences. Key findings include a correlation between living arrangements and stress, as students living independently report higher stress (23.96, SD = 6.24) compared to those living with family (23.95, SD = 5.29) (p = 0.018). Fifth-year students exhibit lower stress levels (21.17, SD = 6.12) than other grades (p = 0.026). Multiple training sessions about COVID-19 are associated with better coping strategies (9.95, SD = 0.91, p

This study shows students experience moderate stress levels, but the significant differences in stress experiences and coping strategies between the two countries highlighted the need for tailored approaches. Providing social support from faculty, family, friends, and peer dental students was one of the students’ strategies to cope and minimize stress levels.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2405-8440</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2405-8440</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34452</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39114078</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Coping strategies ; COVID-19 ; Dental students ; Indonesia ; Mental health ; Stress related factors ; Vietnam</subject><ispartof>Heliyon, 2024-07, Vol.10 (14), p.e34452, Article e34452</ispartof><rights>2024 The Authors</rights><rights>2024 The Authors.</rights><rights>2024 The Authors 2024</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c412t-ee8074413eec6883f5df3f8bde8dbdfa4130dd480c914ae04df7650388f1ade23</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11305215/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405844024104835$$EHTML$$P50$$Gelsevier$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,727,780,784,885,3549,27924,27925,45780,53791,53793</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/39114078$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Darwita, Risqa Rina</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Savitri, Putri Adelia</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Khairinisa, Safira</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Ramadhani, Atik</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Adiatman, Melissa</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Maharani, Diah Ayu</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Do, Thao Thi</creatorcontrib><title>Comparative analysis of stress level and coping strategies due to COVID-19 pandemics among dental students in Indonesia and Vietnam</title><title>Heliyon</title><addtitle>Heliyon</addtitle><description>This study investigated and compared the perceived stress levels and coping strategies of dental students in Indonesia and Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic.
