Latar Belakang: Adanya penerapan berbagai kebijakan sebagai upaya untuk mencegah penularan dan penyebaran virus corona membuat seseorang lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu di dalam ruangan, dimana hal ini dapat menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan durasi screen time yang dapat memengaruhi stres mahasiswa kedokteran gigi. Belum ada penelitian yang mengkaji kaitan antara durasi screen time dengan stres pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi Universitas Indonesia selama pandemi Covid-19. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara durasi screen time dengan stres pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi Universitas Indonesia selama pandemi Covid-19. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis kelamin terhadap durasi screen time dan stres. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang pada 270 mahasiswa Program Pendidikan Kedokteran Gigi Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Indonesia. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan pengisian kuesioner screen time dan Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10) versi bahasa Indonesia secara daring melalui google form. Hasil Penelitian: Uji Chi-Square menunjukkan durasi screen time memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan stres pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi selama pandemi Covid-19 (p=0.012). Uji Chi-Square menunjukkan jenis kelamin tidak memiliki hubungan bermakna baik dengan durasi screen time (p=0.282) maupun stres (p=0.103). Kesimpulan: Tedapat hubungan antara durasi screen time dengan stres pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi Universitas Indonesia selama pandemi Covid-19. Namun tidak terdapat hubungan antara jenis kelamin dengan dengan durasi screen time maupun dengan stres.
