“…5 Other studies including university students from the US, Egypt, Malaysia, Emirates, and Spain showed varying degrees of psychological problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic. [10][11][12][13][14] Despite the urgency of this topic worldwide, the psychological problems among university students in Saudi Arabia were not comprehensively assessed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Determining the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 on university students and the correlating factors can help in initiating risk-prevention procedures and counselling programs to relieve this burden.…”

The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a public health emergency that represents a challenge to psychological health. Saudi Arabia is among the most affected countries in the Middle East with 229,480 confirmed cases and 2181 related deaths as of the 12th of July 2020. 1 To respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, Saudi Arabia has taken strict preventive precautions including quarantine measures, suspending education at schools and universities before starting distance learning and virtual classrooms later, and closing the mosques including the Holy Mosque of Mecca. 2,3 Literature showed that such measures can result in several psychological problems, 4 and students, in particular, are more vulnerable. 5 In addition, isolation from campus life, the need to adapt to the new online educational environment, and the uncertainty about the academic and occupational future can carry additional burdens. 4,[6][7][8]

Abuhmaidan und Al-Majali hingegen ermitteln, dass weibliche Studierende während der Coronapandemie ein geringeres Level psychischer Gesundheit vorwiesen als männliche Studierende [ 1 ]. Weibliche Studierende weisen pandemiebedingt ein höheres Level an Depressionen, Ängsten, Einsamkeit und Stress auf, wobei keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern festgestellt werden konnten [ 8 ].…”

Einflüsse der Coronapandemie auf gesundheitsbezogene Verhaltensweisen und Belastungen von Studierenden

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Studierende bilden die größte Gruppe an Hochschulen, somit ist ein studentisches Gesundheitsmanagement unerlässlich. Diese Gruppe zählt zwar aufgrund ihres Alters zu einer eher gesunden Bevölkerungsgruppe, dennoch sind auch Studierende gesundheitlichen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Daher sind die Auswirkungen der Coronapandemie auf die Studierenden von allgemeinem Interesse. Fragestellung Der Artikel befasst sich mit der Frage, wie die Rahmenbedingungen der Coronapandemie gesundheitsbezogene Verhaltensweisen und Belastungen der Studierenden an der Ostfalia Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften beeinflussen. Material und Methoden Auf Grundlage einer Literaturrecherche wurde ein Fragebogen zu den Themenbereichen Bewegung, Ernährung, wahrgenommenes Stresserleben und Suchtmittelkonsum erstellt. Die Stichprobe der Onlinebefragung umfasst 1281 Studierende. Die Ergebnisse wurden über Microsoft Excel ausgewertet. Ergebnisse Infolge der Coronapandemie bewegen sich Studierende in ihrem Alltag weniger, müssen aufgrund der gesetzlichen Regelungen ihre Mahlzeitenplanung neu organisieren und sind, z. B. durch veränderte Prüfungsleistungen oder den Verlust des Nebenjobs, einem höheren Stresslevel ausgesetzt. Der Suchtmittelkonsum bleibt dabei nahezu unverändert. Schlussfolgerung Die Coronapandemie bewirkt sowohl positive als auch negative Veränderungen der gesundheitlichen Verhaltensweisen und Belastungen bei Studierenden. Dennoch sind weitere Untersuchungen erforderlich, um die Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf die Studierenden umfassender in den Blick zu nehmen.

Este é um artigo de revisão narrativa da literatura, o qual tem por objetivo avaliar os impactos da pandemia da Covid-19 na saúde mental de estudantes universitários. A busca de dados ocorreu durante o mês de março de 2021, em 3 bases (Science Direct, BVS e PubMed). Foram encontrados um total de 755 artigos usando os descritores “Impact and Covid-19 and Mental Health and University student”, dos quais, depois do processo de inclusão e exclusão, sobraram 11 estudos, que foram explorados na íntegra para análise final, sob a perspectiva qualitativa de análise de conteúdo de Saldaña (2013). Os resultados deste estudo nos conduzem a concluir que a pandemia da Covid-19 afeta grandemente a saúde mental dos estudantes universitários. Desde que a doença foi considerada uma pandemia mundial, as atividades acadêmicas nas universidades foram encerradas (aulas, exames de qualificação de pós-graduação, defesas e outras) para contenção do vírus. Os riscos e impactos à saúde mental neste período incluem o medo de contaminação pelo vírus, a incerteza sobre o fim da pandemia e o retorno das aulas, medidas de distanciamento social prolongado, ansiedade e outros desconfortos psicológicos agravados pela falta de serviços de apoio psicológico. Sugere-se, assim, a implementação de serviços de apoio psicológico (sendo a modalidade virtual mais eficaz neste momento da pandemia) dentro das universidades, para a promoção do bem estar e da saúde mental da população universitária.
