Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
The Psychosocial Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dental Professionals Using the Turkish Version of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale
Fear of COVID-19 Scale is an unidimensional scale seven-item scale assessing anxiety regarding COVID-19 . Items are rated on a 5-item Likert scale from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree) with scores ranging from 7 to 35. Scores are added up. A higher score of the FCV-19S represents a greater level of fear and a worse outcome.
Secondary Outcome Measures
The Psychosocial Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic Using the Turkish Version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale
Coronavirus Anxiety Scale is an unidimensional tool that assesses the physiological anxiety related to the COVID-19. Participants rated 5 items on a 5-point Likert-type scale, from 0 (not at all) to 4 (nearly every day over the last 2 weeks). Scores are added up for a total score of 0 - 20, with higher scores indicating worse outcomes.

Brief Summary
The aims of this study were to (i) assess fear and anxiety of COVID-19 in a Turkish sample dental professionals using the Turkish FCV-19S and CAS; (ii) explore factors associated with FCV-19S and CAS; and (iii) examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish FCV-19S and CAS.
Detailed Description
This cross-sectional study was conducted between October, 16 to 23, 2020 by sending an online survey questionnaire working in public and university hospitals, including general dentists or specialists. The tool utilized for data collection was a designed online Google Forms questionnaire.
This survey was implemented by using a questionnaire that included socio-demographic data (age range, gender, marital status, systemic disease, professional area, years of clinical experience, number of patients treated daily, smoking status, alcohol consumption, vs), epidemic-related questions and scales measuring the fear and anxiety levels of the participants.
Fear of COVID-19 Scale is an unidimensional scale seven-item scale assessing anxiety regarding COVID-19 developed by Ahorsu et al. Items are rated on a 5-item Likert scale from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree) with scores ranging from 7 to 35. A higher score of the FCV-19S represents a greater level of fear. In the study, the bi-factor model and two-factor model consisting of the "emotional response" factor (items 1, 2, 4, and 5) and "physiological response" factor (items 3, 6, and 7) were used.
Coronavirus Anxiety Scale is an unidimensional tool that assesses the physiological reactions anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were asked to rate 5 items on a 5-point Likert-type scale, from 0 (not at all) to 4 (nearly every day over the last 2 weeks).
