Background & Objective
Following the sudden and global outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), called an infectious pandemic by the WHO, Iran also began fighting against this disease from February 19.

The purposes of this study were to investigate effect of self-quarantine on medical student’s behaviors and their psychological health during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Materials and MethodsDuring the early stage of the nationwide lockdown, a total 607 Iranian medical students (63.4% females, range 18-51 years), who were in self-quarantine, participated in an online cross-sectional survey. The valid and reliable questionnaires included covid-19 self-quarantine behaviors, general health (GHQ-28), and impact of events-revised (IES-R) were used to collect data. Series of analysis tests like t-tests, one way-ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient were conducted via SPSS v.25.
ResultsThe results indicated suitable behaviors (57.09±22.36) and higher-level of adherence in females and married students that there is no member in their family affected with COVID -19(P-value<0.05). Respondents exhibited significant levels of mental disturbance (29.33±16.11) and PTSD symptoms (28.96±15.40) and also Pearson correlation test indicated a significant positive correlation between self-quarantine behaviors with psychological disturbance and PTSD symptoms (r=0.208 and 0.215, P-value =0.01).
ConclusionDespite observing the appropriate behaviors in students during self-quarantine, but significant psychological effects due to self-quarantine condition have affected them. The results of this study can help professional health policy makers to determine special strategies for promoting appropriate behaviors during COVID-19 pandemic self-quarantine, controlling the resulting psychological impacts in medical students who considered as one the most important academic population.
