Brief Summary

The present study was conducted to measure the mental well-being amongst dental students by using Warwick-Edinburg Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and investigate factors affecting well-being among dental students.

Detailed Description

The survey schedule was planned to be independent of the students' assessment period and the questionnaire was administered to the students when they were attending a lecture together. After the lecture, a researcher explained to the students the purpose of this survey and assured them of confidentiality. Participation in this study was also voluntary, and all participants remained anonymous. The questionnaire was given to all participants after explaining the purpose of the study.
