Impactos del confinamiento por el COVID-19 entre universitarios: Satisfacción Vital, Resiliencia y Capital Social Online

Abstract

The exceptionality derived from the situation of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all areas of our functioning as a society: relational, health, economic, etc. and of course, education. This study focuses on the impact on these areas and the role played by aspects such as resilience, online social capital and life satisfaction. To this end, an exploratory quantitative study was carried out on 343 university students. The most important conclusion is to note the strong impact that confinement has had on the life situation of students, mainly in the psychological and academic fields, and the important role of the relationship with life satisfaction and resilience. We conclude with the need to work on the issue of resilience from the university and we offer a series of keys to that end.

The Impact of COVID-19 Home Confinement on Mexican University Students: Emotions, Coping Strategies, and Self-Regulated Learning

“…Regarding academic life, during the COVID-19 pandemic young people have experienced uncertainty, stress, and concern for their studies since they had to carry them online, which has affected their emotional well-being (Orellana and Orellana, 2020) and academic performance (Lozano-Díaz et al, 2020). Cao et al (2020) conducted research with 7,143 Chinese university students and concluded that 21.3% showed mild symptoms of anxiety.…”

“…Together with the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the formative process of attending university requires students to put into practice functional strategies that enable young people to maintain their emotional well-being and desirable performance (Lozano-Díaz et al, 2020). According to literature, the positive and negative emotions experienced during stressful situations reflect a person's momentary evaluation of their well-being (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984).…”
