“…Previous exposure to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake was associated with a higher risk of PTSD and depression symptoms, consistent with previous research showing that prior trauma increases the risk of PTSD and subsequent depressive symptoms [32]. One of the most important post-earthquake negative life events for Chinese children and adolescents is academic stress, which is one of their biggest sources of mental stress because they are under intense academic pressure [6], [33]. As a result, students with learning disabilities sometimes commit suicide or suffer from symptoms of depression and anxiety [3], [34].…”

BACKGROUND: Volcano disaster can cause psychological problems such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is an anxiety disorder caused by a scary or frightening, unpleasant and challenging event or experience with physical abuse or threatened feeling. AIM: The purpose of this study was to describe the symptoms of PTSD experienced by families after the volcanic eruption disaster in Magelang Regency. METHODOLOGY: This research was conducted with a descriptive-analytic strategy. The research population was community aged 15–64 years, with a total of 574 people, and 86 respondents were selected as samples using a quota sampling technique. RESULTS: The results show that the majority of respondents experience symptoms of PTSD in the mild category as many as 60 respondents with a percentage of 68.9%. However, there are two respondents included in the severe category. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for the community and other institutions to pay attention to the symptoms of PTSD. CONCLUSION: Respondents who are categorized as experiencing weight PTSD symptoms are expected to conduct further examinations at health services immediately; therefore, PTSD can be handled.

“…Specifically, lack of financial and emotional support from parents leads to social anxiety ( Ren and Li, 2020 ). Families play a major role in helping children cope with trauma, so parental absence during childhood may contribute to the development of somatic or panic symptoms ( Tang et al., 2020a , 2020b ). Without their parents to protect them, students who are left behind can feel hopeless and lonely, which increases their risk of PD ( Jia and Tian, 2010 ).…”

Background When COVID-19 emerged in China in late 2019, most citizens were home-quarantined to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Extended periods of isolation have detrimental effects on an individual's mental health. Therefore, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic should include assessment of psychological distress and its known risk factors, including coping style and emotional regulation. Methods This cross-sectional study surveyed 6,027 Chinese university students recruited from May 25, 2020 to June 10, 2020. In addition to sociodemographic information, participant data were collected using online versions of the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Results The incidence of psychological distress was found to be 35.34%. Negative coping style and expressing panic about COVID-19 on social media were the most important predictors of psychological distress. In addition, being male, being a “left-behind child” or having a monthly household income lower than 5000 CNY or higher than 20,000 CNY were associated with higher psychological distress. Conclusion The psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic could be serious. Psychological interventions that reduce nervousness and negative coping style need to be made available to home-quarantined university students, especially those who are male, are “left-behind”, have a monthly household income lower than 5000 CNY or higher than 20,000 CNY, or express panic on social media.

“…In this study, exposure as an earthquake risk perception is conceptualised as students' experiences, threats, and thoughts about they living in active seismic region. Exposure to earthquake hazard has the potency to trigger children and adolescents' psychological distress (Tang et al, 2020). People with high-risk perception considers their region of location as prone to earthquake in comparison with other locations not closer to them [13].…”

Most studies on metacognition have devoted attention to self-awareness, learning process and outcome. However, there is a paucity of literature on how earthquake risk perception affects students’ metacognition. This study assessed Senior High School (SHS) students’ earthquake risk perception and its effects on their metacognition in the Weija-Gbawe Municipality, Ghana. The study used a questionnaire collect data from 219 students proportionally from three (3) SHS (Ansong Senior High School, Pentecost Vocational Training Institute, and Royals Senior High Schools). Data processing and analysis techniques employed were exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and path analysis. Results showed a high earthquake risk perception among students. Also, students' risk perception had statistical significance effects on the metacognition especially for younger students. The study recommends that the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and Ghana Education Service to offer counselling sessions for students and earthquake disaster risk sensitisation programmes for students.
