“…En el caso del factor psicológico, se encontró que los estudiantes han experimentado afectaciones de este tipo, por ejemplo, cuadros de depresión derivados de la angustia por la pandemia y por los procesos de enseñanzaaprendizaje virtual. Hensel (2022) demostró que la tensión, problemas del entorno y el uso de la tecnología por encima del tiempo recomendado ha derivado en afectaciones psicológicas, de ahí la necesidad de atender este problema (Becerra, Roland, Avina y Becerra, 2022;Hotez et al, 2022;Zhang, 2020).…”

El uso excesivo de las nuevas tecnologías por los jóvenes universitarios ha ocasionado problemas de salud que potencializan afectaciones biológicas, psicológicas y sociales. Aquí se realiza un análisis comparativo sobre el nivel de afectación antes y después de la pandemia de la covid-19 por el uso excesivo de tecnologías (ciberpatologías) en estudiantes universitarios de la Facultad de Contaduría y Administración de la Universidad Veracruzana campus Coatzacoalcos. Para la recolección de datos, se elaboró una encuesta aplicada a través de Google Forms. Con la información recolectada, se utilizaron técnicas descriptivas con el objetivo de comparar las muestras a partir de la hipótesis de estudio. Los resultados muestran evidencia empírica sobre que los estudiantes son proclives a padecer ciberpatologías. Esto demuestra la necesidad de indagar de manera explicativa los factores que las ocasionan. Las afectaciones demostradas implican la necesidad de generar políticas públicas educativas que busquen atender este problema en las universidades.

“…Although studies have documented the detrimental effects of COVID-19 related concerns on mental health (e.g., Hotez et al, 2022; Lu et al, 2021), few studies have sought to examine potential mechanisms underlying this effect. Given that exposure to trauma and processing posttraumatic stress have been found to be associated with identity distress (Scott et al, 2014; Wiley et al, 2011), we hypothesized that identity distress would serve as a potential mechanism through which COVID-19 related worries might be associated with psychological and academic adjustment among college-attending emerging adults.…”

The long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have only recently begun to be explored. Among college students, who were faced with sudden and unprecedented changes and challenges, it is likely that COVID-19 detrimentally impacted the establishment of a sense of self, a key developmental task of the college years. However, no research has examined the relationships among COVID-19 related worries, identity distress, and psychological and academic adjustment. To address these gaps in the current study, we examined the prevalence of identity distress, the relationship between COVID-19 related worries and identity distress, and the direct and indirect associations between COVID-19 related worries and psychological and academic adjustment among a sample of 1627 college students ( M age = 20.51, SD = 2.21). Findings indicated that over a third of the sample reported high levels of identity distress and that COVID-19 related worries were negatively associated, both directly and indirectly through identity distress, with psychological and academic adjustment.

“…After every few interviews, codes were revised to capture predominant themes in interviews. This process was repeated until there was a consensus regarding the coding scheme [ 23 ]. These codes were binary such that “1” indicated that the theme was present, and “0” indicated that the theme was not present.…”

“…A consensus was not required between coders in the final coding scheme. Inter-rater agreement was calculated as described previously to confirm the reliability of the qualitative outcomes based on 50% of interviews that were dually coded [ 23 ]. The interviews included in the percent agreement calculation were randomly selected.…”

A Qualitative Investigation on COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Neurodivergent Communities

Vaccine hesitancy is a major barrier to vaccination, hindering the success of vaccine efforts and thereby increasing public health risk to viral diseases, including COVID-19. Neurodivergent (ND) individuals, including individuals with an intellectual and/or developmental disability, have demonstrated a heightened risk of hospitalization and death due to COVID-19, highlighting the need for further research specifically on ND communities. We conducted a qualitative analysis using in-depth interviews with medical professionals, non-medical health professionals and communicators, and ND individuals or their caregivers. Using a thematic coding analysis methodology, trained coders identified major themes according to 24 distinct codes spanning across the categories of (1) barriers to vaccination; (2) facilitators to vaccination; and (3) suggestions for improving vaccine confidence. Qualitative findings identify misinformation, perception of vaccine risk, sensory sensitivities, and structural hardship as the most significant barriers to COVID-19 vaccination. We highlight the importance of accommodations to vaccination for the ND community alongside coordinated efforts by healthcare leaders to direct their communities to accurate sources of medical information. This work will inform the direction of future research on vaccine hesitancy, and the development of programs specific to the ND community’s access to vaccines.
