“…Despite being one of the important sections of the public health study, no study has been done to understand the influence of COVID-19 in the natural disaster scenario. Decisions taken during the time of disaster are always influenced by the perceived risk of the affected people and policymakers ( Samadipour et al, 2020 ; Mortazavi et al,2021 ). Especially when public concern is a major issue at the time of the pandemic, it is extremely important to study the influence of public perception about COVID-19 risk on the affected people’s decisions during a disaster scenario.…”

In May 2020, when Bangladesh was struggling with community transmission of COVID-19, the country had to face the strongest tropical storm-Cyclone Amphan -which puts the evacuation process in jeopardy. Thus, it is crucial to measure the public risk perception about COVID-19 and its influence on the evacuation decision. This study explores the nexus between COVID-19 risk perception and coastal peoples' evacuation decisions during cyclone Amphan. With an analysis of 378 sample households survey data of the Satkhira district, this study developed the COVID-19 risk perception index using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and categorized the respondents based on the score. The result shows that 1.85 %, 21.43 %, 45.77 %, 25.13 %, and 5.82 % have very low, low, moderate, high, and very high-risk perceptions, respectively. The analysis also reveals that 96.6 % of the respondents received an evacuation order during Amphan, but only 42 % complied with the order. The t-test analysis and common language effect size test of the survey data reveal that the respondents with a high perception score are 65 % less likely to evacuate than the respondents with low perception scores. This study has important implications in guiding concerned authorities to combat natural disasters during COVID-19 and other similar public health emergencies in the future.

“…[ 2 ] However, during COVID-19, face-to-face education has been replaced by virtual teaching. [ 18 ] This study seeks to determine the potential determinants of CEA in health college. The results show that students prior experience, familiarity with the examination type, and computer usage play a positive role in decreasing the anxiety level.…”

BACKGROUND: In the daily lives of people, the level of anxiety plays a significant role. This applies to students, who experience anxiety when taking examinations referred to as examination anxiety. Majority of the current educational institutions have shifted from a traditional evaluation system to one that is computerized. The present study aim is to identify the computerized examination anxiety (CEA) among college students in the Faculty of Health and to compare the differences among them based on study system and gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research is a descriptive quantitative design. The research population consists of 138 health college students. CEA scale was used to identify the level of examination anxiety among students. Data were then exposed to analysis, namely the descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and Chi-square tests, to obtain the answers to the research questions at the level of <0.05. RESULTS: Based on the findings, the CEA experienced by the health students was of moderate level. The findings also showed insignificant differences between students’ levels of anxiety based on gender and study system at <0.05 value. CONCLUSION: The study contributed to literature by adding a study related to CEA during COVID-19. The study enumerated implications and recommendations based on the findings.

“…A lack of confidence in the security of the system supporting e-learning or a lack of the necessary infrastructure can create a negative experience among learners, which conditions the acceptance of e-learning (Mortazavi et al, 2021; Sawaftah & Aljeraiwi, 2018). We therefore hypothesized that the perceived security of using online learning tools influences the PU (H13) and the PEOU (H14), and also influences students’ sense of satisfaction (PS) (H15).…”

“…In short, e-learning and educational technology have the potential to create new opportunities for education (Alzahrani & Seth, 2021; Choudhury & Pattnaik, 2020; Regmi & Jones, 2020). However, there are also certain risks that arise from the misuse of e-learning tools, inappropriate infrastructure, and lack of technical support, which can lead to a decline in their adoption (Mortazavi et al, 2021; Sawaftah & Aljeraiwi, 2018). Furthermore, according to Bakhtiar et al (2018), emotions such as loneliness, fear, anxiety, or uncertainty can cause students to have negative attitudes toward e-learning.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented shifts in higher education worldwide. These sudden educational changes have the potential to accelerate the acceptance of online learning, or, conversely, to increase its rejection. The purpose of this experimental study is to examine students’ acceptance of and intentions toward the continued use of online learning, which was abruptly introduced by face-to-face universities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, responses to an online questionnaire from students at three face-to-face universities ( N = 194) were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The study was based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), we also included other relevant factors, such as emotional aspects, feelings of uncertainty, security of the e-learning system, and satisfaction with educational technology. The results indicate that the uncertainty associated with COVID-19, emotional factors, and security did not significantly affect the students’ intention to use e-learning systems; however, these factors had a significant impact on students’ perception of satisfaction, which is a decisive factor that positively influences the process of adoption of e-learning systems. This study discusses noteworthy theoretical and practical implications for education that will help teachers and universities in decision making regarding the digital transformation process.
