“…College students' stressors have been typically grouped into three major categories: academic pressure [16][17][18][19], social and interpersonal pressure [20,21], and environmental pressure [22,23]. Specifically, this study focuses on academic workload (representing academic pressure), separation from school (representing social and interpersonal pressure), and fear of contagion (representing environment pressure).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has unhinged the lives of people across the globe. In particular, more than 30 million Chinese college students are home-schooling, yet there is little understanding of how academic workload, separation from school, and fears of contagion lead to a decrease in their health. This study examined the relationships between Chinese college students’ three critical stressors and two types of health in the COVID‐19 pandemic context. We used a three-wave lagged design with a one-week interval. All the constructs were assessed by self-report in anonymous surveys during the COVID‐19 pandemic. College students were asked to report their demographic information, academic workload, separation from school, fears of contagion, perceived stress, and health. The results of this study showed that academic workload, separation from school, and fears of contagion had negative effects on college students’ health via perceived stress. In the COVID-19 crisis, multiple prevention and control measures focusing on college students may lead them to have different degrees of stress and health problems. Our results enrich the literature on stress and health and offer novel practical implications for all circles of the society to ensure students’ health under the context of the COVID-19 epidemic.

“…Chronic stress can suppress protective immune responses and/or exacerbate pathological immune responses [73, 74]. Higher reported stress levels [75, 76], short sleep duration (< 6 or 7 hours/night) and poor sleep continuity [77, 78], depression [79], and anxiety [80] are all associated with higher susceptibility to acute infectious illness (e.g., common cold, pneumonia).…”

“…Preventive CAM Strategies. Several preventive CAM strategies aim to reduce stress, insomnia, depression, and anxiety that are linked to an increased susceptibility to infections [77–80]. CAM prevention includes often promotion of a rhythmic lifestyle [71, 82] in order to support general physiological recovery.…”

Aim. The aim of this narrative review was to explore the potential contributions of CAM to reduce antibiotic use. Methods. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews with a specific, limited set of search terms and collected input from a group of expert CAM researchers to answer the question: What is known about the contribution of CAM health and health promotion concepts, infection prevention, and infection treatment strategies to reduce antibiotic use? Results. The worldview-related CAM health concepts enable health promotion oriented infection prevention and treatment aimed at strengthening or supporting the self-regulating ability of the human organism to cope with diseases. There is some evidence that the CAM concepts of health (promotion) are in agreement with current conceptualization of health and that doctors who practice both CAM and conventional medicine prescribe less antibiotics, although selection bias of the presented studies cannot be ruled out. There is some evidence that prevention and some treatment strategies are effective and safe. Many CAM treatment strategies are promising but overall lack high quality evidence. Conclusions. CAM prevention and treatment strategies may contribute to reducing antibiotic use, but more rigorous research is necessary to provide high quality evidence of (cost-)effectiveness.

“…Factors threatening mental health and well-being approached Internet use mainly from the problematic/addictive perspective including evidence with broad concept of poor mental health and well-being ( Tangmunkongvorakul et al , 2019 ; Tenzin et al , 2018 ; Zhou et al, 2020 ; Hou et al , 2019 ; Lattie et al , 2019 ). Some of the articles also specified the factors in more detail, for example: distress ( Al-Gamal et al , 2015 ; Mamun et al , 2020 ; Gedam et al , 2017 ); depression ( Khalil et al , 2016 , Othman and Lee, 2017 , Peterka-Bonetta et al , 2019 ; Younes et al, 2016 ; Iwamoto and Chun, 2020 ; Gedam et al , 2017 ; Tao et al , 2017 ; Asibong et al , 2020 ; Chupradit et al , 2020 ; Haand and Shuwang, 2020 ; Pang, 2020 ; Visnjic et al , 2018 ); anxiety ( Younes et al , 2016 ; Campisi et al , 2017 ; Iwamoto and Chun, 2020 ; Asibong et al , 2020 ; Panova et al , 2020 ; Gedam et al , 2017 ); stress ( Younes et al , 2016 ; Campisi et al , 2017 ; Liu et al , 2017 ; Iwamoto and Chun, 2020 ; Unsar et al , 2020 ); social anxiety ( Weinstein et al, 2015 ); fear of missing out or FOMO ( Lattie et al , 2019 ; Pang, 2020 ); low happiness ( Kitazawa et al , 2019 ) and increase in suicide risk ( Alpaslan et al , 2015 ; Kurt, 2015 ; Poorolajal et al , 2019 ).…”

Summary The amount of time spent online has increased over the last decade among higher education students. Students engage in online activities related to studies, work, leisure, entertainment and electronic services (e-services) use. The Internet is also used for health-related matters. The increase in the use of the Internet has influenced students’ health, especially mental and physical health and well-being. This scoping review scrutinizes the literature between 2015 and 2020 (N = 55) on the association between Internet use and health in higher education students. A methodological framework, outlined by Arksey and O'Malley, was applied to conduct this review. Systematic searches were carried out in the CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus databases and in the available grey literature. For the data, a thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke was utilized. Two major themes of ‘Health-promoting Internet use’ and ‘Health-threatening Internet use’ emerged and are described in this review.
