The COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying infection control measures introduced sudden and significant disruptions to the lives of children and adolescents around the world. Given the potential for negative impacts on the mental health of youths as a result of these changes, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances in children and adolescents during the pandemic. We searched major literature databases for relevant cross-sectional or longitudinal studies that included primary and secondary school students or children and adolescents ≤18 years of age. Prevalence values were extracted, logit-transformed, and pooled. Based on 191 included studies with 1,389,447 children and adolescents, we found the pooled prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances to be 31%, 31%, and 42%, respectively. Age, grade levels, education levels, gender, geographical regions, and electronics use were correlated with the prevalence of mental health symptoms. The prevalence of mental health symptoms also increased with time, although signs of recovery and stabilization were also observed. Overall, the results from this

“…Furthermore, Abdullah et al (2021) asserted that the COVID-19 lockdown had various negative effects on mental health, including feelings of isolation, despair, anxiety, and among others. Depression also impaired the student's ability to think rationally (Ede et al, 2022), since the distress created by the pandemic affected their desire to learn (Sifat et al, 2022) and online social media platforms did not help them to overcome the news of fatalities and sufferings (Ho et al, 2022). These conditions experienced by the students amidst the pandemic indicated a serious concern about efficiency and productivity in doing school-related tasks because of the enormous emotional strain caused by the pandemic.…”

During COVID-19, ensuring that students were fulfilled with the quality of learning they received posed issues, especially for students learning mathematics in a modular and online setup. The purpose of this study is to determine the modular and online learning satisfaction in mathematics of the student- respondents, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed to provide a snapshot of the two hundred forty-six (246) junior and senior high student- respondents’ modular and online learning satisfaction in mathematics, along with the measured parameters. Based on the results, the respondents indicated that they were satisfied with the implemented modular learning in mathematics during the pandemic. On the online learning aspect, the respondents expressed a moderate level of satisfaction with their online learning experience. Educational institutions must innovate and keep up with the new normal teaching practices to ensure that the quality of education is sustained over time. Recommendations were also provided to assist the entire academic community in understanding how students approach the mathematics subject in the modular and online learning contexts.

“…While national authorities around the world focused on limiting the number of total and severe cases, the potential psychological threat of lockdowns was comparatively neglected, resulting in a range of psychological consequences such as heightened stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, and anger [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Background and aims. The COVID-19 lockdowns are reported to have negatively influenced the wellbeing and learning efficacy of students. In this context, we analyzed the psychological impact of the COVID-19 quarantine on healthcare students, a subpopulation experiencing high stress levels. Methods. Our survey-based, cross-sectional study assessed wellbeing indicators, lifestyle and learning behaviors before and during the quarantine for 388 Romanian healthcare students. Results. Our findings included the increase in phone and social media use, at the expense of formal and independent study time; deteriorations in mood, self-organization capacity and learning efficacy, and increased procrastination behaviors. Unexpectedly, our study identified an improvement in sleep quality and duration. The increase in social media use was less severe among rural students. We identified correlations between study time, online activities (including social media), wellbeing indicators and procrastination. Conclusion. Our study draws attention to quarantine-induced deteriorations of wellbeing and learning capacity in an important category of students.
