“…The herein employed scales conferred reliability to this study because Cronbach’s alpha obtained a score over 0.7. In this study, PSS-10-C was 0.789, which is similar to other studies conducted in the general population with 0.86, and also with 0.82 [ 28 , 29 , 30 ], where 52% of them were university students [ 31 ]. Cronbach’s alpha for GADS anxiety and depression was 0.794 vs. 0.752, which are similar results to those reported in different studies performed with students [ 58 , 59 ].…”

“…Although some specific instruments measure emotional well-being during quarantine, information on the psychometric properties of these scales is still scarce. We used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), modified for COVID-19 (PSS-10-C), because this instrument’s internal consistency is acceptable, as other studies have shown [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ], and it has been employed in studies that measure students’ stress [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Today’s COVID-19 situation can affect university Health Sciences students’ psychological health. This study aimed to analyze the stress caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Health Sciences students from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) almost 1 year after the pandemic began. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 252 university students who completed a self-administered online questionnaire. It evaluated the impact of perceived stress with a modified scale (PSS-10-C), and assessed anxiety and depression on the Goldberg scale. Students presented stress (13.1%), anxiety (71.4%) and depression (81%). Females (81.7%) and the third-year Occupational Therapy students (p = 0.010) reported perceived stress. Nursing students perceived less stress (OR: 0.148; 95% CI: 0.026 to 0.842). University students developed stress and anxiety due to COVID-19 almost 1 year after the pandemic began. Psychological support measures for these groups should be prioritized.

“…The pandemic‐related Perceived Stress Scale of COVID‐19 (PSS‐10‐C) includes 10 items exploring stress perception in the previous month (Campo‐Arias et al, 2020). The PSS‐10‐C offers five options with possible scores from zero to four; the higher the score, the higher the perceived stress.…”

This study examined the association of perceived discrimination related to COVID‐19 with psychological distress in healthcare workers in the Colombian Caribbean region. The authors designed and conducted a cross‐sectional study, recruiting a non‐probabilistic sample by email or instant messaging. Participants filled out a questionnaire including scales for perceived discrimination, anxiety, depression, perceived stress related to COVID‐19, and suicide risk. Healthcare workers ( n = 150) aged 18 to 68 years participated; of these, 72% were women, and the breakdown by occupation was 39.3% nursing assistants, 18.0% nurses, and 42.7% physicians. Perceived discrimination scores showed positive correlations with depressive symptoms among nursing assistants and physicians ( r s = 0.34), and suicide risk in nursing assistants ( r s = 0.35) and physicians ( r s = 0.31). Among nurses, all measurements were independent of perceived discrimination. Nursing assistants scored highest in perceived discrimination. Physicians scored higher for COVID‐19 perceived stress than nursing assistants, and nurses showed similar scores to physicians. In conclusion, perceived discrimination is related to depressive symptoms and suicide risk among nursing assistants and physicians. Nursing assistants report more perceived discrimination than nurses and physicians.

“…The total scores can be observed between 0 and 40; scores below 25 were categorized as low perceived stress. The PSS-10-C showed an internal consistency of 0.85 in a previous online study of Colombian adults [24].…”

The study aimed to know the frequency and variables associated with COVID-19 vaccine distrust in students of a Colombian university. A cross-sectional study was carried out which participated emerging adult students of a Colombian university. A total of 1,136 students between 18 and 29 years (M= 22.0, SD = 3.0); most of them were female (66.0%), non-health students (82.8%), low-income (79.0%), and residents of urban areas (84.9%). It was frequent low institutional trust (74.8%), low cognitive, social capital (27.9%), low fear of COVID-19 (49.5%), low perceived stress related to COVID-19 (83.5%), and high COVID-19 vaccine distrust (78.9%). Non-health carrier (Adjusted OR = 3.63, 95%CI 2.58-5.10), rural residence (AOR = 1.85, 95%CI 1.13-3.04), low income (AOR = 1.84, 95%CI 1.31-2.57), and perceived stress related to COVID-19 (AOR = 1.74, 95%CI 1.20-2.54) were related to high COVID-19 vaccine distrust. In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccine distrust is high among emerging adult Colombian university students. The COVID-19 vaccine distrust is related to non-health science carriers, rural residents, low-income, and low-perceived stress related to COVID-19. The COVID-19 related health literacy should be improved in students of this university considering socio-cultural background.
