“…A preocupação dos estudantes com a saúde dos parentes é um fator relacionado aos níveis de ansiedade dos estudantes universitários, em consonância com a diferença estatística significante entre ansiedade-traço e ansiedade-estado de alunos que moram com seus pais (27) . A renda entre dois e três salários mínimos e o maior número de pessoas vivendo na mesma casa também foram dados que tiveram significância, o que não corrobora outros achados, os quais não evidenciam que a condição econômica reflete diretamente na ansiedade de trabalhadores da saúde (28) .…”

Objective: to compare the average anxiety among undergraduate Nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: it was a cross-sectional study conducted with 101 undergraduate Nursing students. Data collection took place through WhatsApp®, by sending a link containing a consent form, a Google Forms® instrument and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The analysis was carried out through central tendency, absolute and relative frequency, and analytical tests. Results: trait anxiety and state anxiety presented medium (52.5%) and high (67.3%) levels, respectively, with mean state anxiety (48.1) higher than the mean trait anxiety (42.3) and positive correlation (r=0.479) between the two scales (p<0.000). They were high among students who lived with family members with risk factors for COVID-19 aggravation, underwent social isolation, without confirmatory tests for the disease, and performed an internship in internal medicine. Conclusion: significant percentages of anxiety levels were identified among undergraduate Nursing students in mandatory internship during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus revealing the need for preventive actions for this public. Contributions to practice: based on these findings, proposals to prevent mental health problems in this public can be developed seeking to change the current mental health scenario.

“…Em uma revisão de literatura acerca da saúde mental de acadêmicos em tempos de pandemia, salienta-se que, devido ao isolamento social e a imposição do ensino remoto para a continuidade das aulas, os estudantes ficaram sem o convívio proporcionado pela dinâmica presencial, o que, por consequência, provocou o sentimento de solidão em muitos deles. Foram encontrados relatos sobre sintomas de ansiedade, depressão, angústia, solidão e falta de motivação na revisão em questão 22 .…”

Em janeiro de 2020, foi declarada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) uma pandemia devido àCOVID-19. Por consequência, houve a necessidade da adoção abrupta e compulsória do isolamento social e da transição do ensino presencial para o ensino remoto. Ao curso de Medicina, a modalidade remota foi autorizada pelo Ministério da Educação e Cultura (MEC) para disciplinas teórico-cognitivas, sendo as atividades práticas vetadas. Identificar os impactos da pandemia e do ensino remoto no aprendizado de estudantes de Medicina. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo, de abordagem quali-quantitativa, feito com base em dados coletados por meio da aplicação de um questionário a 145 alunos do 3o ao 8o período do curso de Medicina de um centro universitário privado em Minas Gerais. Os estudantes de Medicina passaram por uma queda acentuada no seu rendimento acadêmico e no aprendizado, teórico e prático, durante a pandemia, além do destaque para o surgimento de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. O ensino remoto funcionou de forma complementar, sendo útil à continuidade dos estudos no período pandêmico.

“…Khan (2021) categorises these impacts into five themes: digital learning, e-learning challenges, digital transition to emergency virtual assessment (all relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the mode of teaching and learning), creating collaborative cultures, and psychological impact. Regarding the psychological impact specifically, the literature shows that the pandemic has had significant effects on university students' mental health (Aqeel et al 2021;Bonsaksen et al 2022;Chaturvedi, Vishwakarma, and Singh 2021;Chen and Lucock 2022;Deng et al 2021;Dodd et al 2021;Garcia et al 2021;Gupta and Agrawal 2021;Hagedorn, Wattick, and Olfert 2021;Laher et al 2021;Li et al 2021;Mohammed and Memmedova 2023;Oliveira et al 2022;Olson et al 2021;Padmanabhanunni and Pretorius 2021;Pandya and Lodha 2022;Pretorius and Padmanabhanunni 2021;Prowse et al 2021;Sarasjärvi et al 2022;Sayeed et al 2020;Serpas and Ignacio 2023;Visser and Law-van Wyk 2021).…”

South African universities were closed nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic. On-campus learning was suspended, and on-campus student accommodation was closed from March 2020, with phased returns to campus continuing until early 2022. The study intended to identify categories of students whose learning and well-being were most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide empirical evidence to inform initiatives to support these students better. An online cross-sectional survey completed by 1 562 respondents studying at a South African university explored students’ experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on students’ learning and well-being, subjective social status, sense of coherence, and future anxiety. Multivariable regression models showed younger age (18 to 21 years), female gender, low subjective social status, and isiZulu and English home language were significantly associated with lower well-being. Regression analysis also showed a significant association between the dimensions of manageability and meaningfulness of sense of coherence and well-being and that high levels of future anxiety were associated with lower well-being. Half of the respondents (49.6%) reported that the pandemic has negatively impacted their overall student experience. However, more than half (51.2%) prefer online to face-to-face learning and found it less time-consuming (63.5%). The results could assist universities in introducing appropriate support services targeting young female students with low subjective social status to support the mental health and well-being of those most affected by the pandemic
