Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Participants' initial stress and anxiety levels | up to 2 days | In the period after the transition from remote learning to face-to-face education during the pandemic, it was determined that final-year dental students engaged in clinical practice experienced moderate levels of perceived stress and low levels of coronavirus anxiety. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Participants' stress and anxiety levels after listening to music | up to 2 weeks | In this situation, the music played to the students was effective, as declines were observed in survey scores.
