Abstract

|
This study was conducted to identify the subjective damage caused by COVID-19 and its related factors. The study subjects were members of the Korean Dental Association (KDA). We investigated the damage to dental clinics and hospitals caused by COVID-19 between January and April 2020. After analyzing the final 3,189 responses, the rate of decrease in patients was the highest at 34.9% in March, and the rate of decrease in income was the highest at 34.0% in April. As a result of the multilevel analysis, the damage caused by COVID-19 was greater in regions with more confirmed patients, more careers, and fewer dental staff. The government should establish a compensation plan for hospitals and clinics to prevent the collapse of the medical system due to the prolonged COVID-19. In addition, support for dentistry should be provided to maintain the oral health care system in the future.
