“…Shared best practices and guidelines were developed and disseminated to assist faculty and students in the temporary and/or ongoing pivot to online classes. Panelists stated that it became apparent that intersecting issues of students' isolation and mental and physical health would need to be addressed in new learning practices, as was reported at other institutes (Hager et al, 2020;Krendl, 2021). Challenges abounded, as did the necessity of finding solutions while being receptive, flexible, and adaptable to emergent and ongoing pandemic-related issues.…”

Experiential learning offers students the opportunity to gain practical experience with a community or industry partner in their field of study. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many workplaces transitioned from in-person to at-home work environments, and those that did not, often reduced or removed access for non-essential personnel. In this report from the field, multiple viewpoints are shared that emerged from an interdisciplinary panel on experiential learning in the June 2022 Spotlight Series hosted by Teaching and Learning Support Services at the University of Ottawa. These voices “from the field” shed light on the impact of uncertain times on experiential learning and, collectively, focus on identifying challenges, implementing strategies and good practices, and sharing recommendations moving forward.

“…There was a global concern of that the COVID-19 pandemic placed everyone in a vulnerable situation, people had been physically restricted, and all measures had impacted the way of living. All of which, young people had been even more harshly affected by overwhelmed challenges [7]. International students were in a particularly tough situation where they had to choose to stay by themselves in foreign lands or take the risk to get home and where the quarantine rules were very strict too.…”

The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in countries all over the world publishing new strict measures which included lockdown and social distancing. During this period, people experienced a move away from social activities, with overseas students experiencing severe psychological burdens as they were unable to return home. The study was performed on Chinese overseas students and Chinese domestic students; it assessed their level of loneliness, problematic internet use, and emotion regulation under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper explored the relationship between these variables. The result suggested that as a consequence of the pandemic, Chinese overseas students and domestic students both suffered from a high level of loneliness; the mean score for overseas Chinese students was 46.25\ \pm\ 10.66 and for domestic students in China was 45.81\ \pm\ 9.81. This finding indicated that the level of loneliness had a positive correlation with problematic internet use (p\ <\ 0.05), they spent more time on the internet in order to cope with negative emotions. Nevertheless, a good emotion regulation strategy could help to overcome negative feelings in an eased way, it had a moderating effect on loneliness and problematic internet use (p\ <\ 0.05).

Repetitive Negative Thinking as a Central Node Between Psychopathological Domains: a Network Analysis

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) may be defined as a reiterative, passive and uncontrollable thinking process. RNT has been recognized as a transdiagnostic phenomenon associated with the onset and maintenance of several clinical conditions including depression, generalised anxiety, psychosis and insomnia. We aimed to estimate a network model of mutual associations between RNT and the aforementioned indicators whilst controlling for other well-established transdiagnostic factors (i.e. perceived stress, loneliness). A total of 324 participants (Mage = 25.26 years, SD = 6.89; 69.3% females) completed a cross-sectional survey of self-report questionnaires. A Gaussian graphical model was estimated using the graphical LASSO in combination with the extended Bayesian information criterion. We found a dense network in which RNT exhibited substantial connections with the majority of the psychopathological domains. The centrality indices confirmed that RNT was one of the most important nodes in the network. Moreover, the estimated network showed satisfactory accuracy and stability. Findings emphasized RNT as a potentially good therapeutic target for psychopathology prevention and treatment protocols.
