Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was designed to evaluate students' level of stress and impact of background music on their efficiency of work, performance and learning ability during pre-clinical lab.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The reported high level of stress among dental students and its consequences, considering the known benefits of background music. This study was designed to evaluate students' level of stress and impact of background music on their efficiency of work, performance and learning ability during pre-clinical lab.

METHODOLOGY: In this cross-sectional questionnaire study, 61 preclinical students from the college of dentistry, Ajman university-Fujairah campus who met the defined inclusion criteria participated.

After a semester of the normal lab without BM (Background Music), various genres of BM were introduced in the lab. Psychological stress assessment was done using P.S.S (Perceived Stress Scale).Students were asked to fill up a written feedback questionnaire at the end of six weeks of BM. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used in order to study the statistical relationships among groups.

Active

Evaluate stress among dental students by Questionnaire

Questionnaire

Intervention Type OTHER

students were involved in the pre-clinical prosthodontic lab. Participation in these labs were mandatory and it involved crown and bridge preparations on typodont models. There were 2 sessions of these labs per week, one for each gender. Each session lasted for 3 hours.

The study was conducted in 2 phases. At the beginning of the first phase of the study, the labs were conducted without any BM for 4 weeks. PSS(perceived stress scale), a standardized and validated, self-reporting international test was used for measuring the level of psychological stress were administered to all participants.
