“…The results supported our third hypothesis that resilience would buffer the relationship between COVID-19 worries and MWB. This finding supports previous research indicating that resilience buffered the relationship between various negative pandemic related constructs and MWB (e.g., Killgore et al, 2020 ; Chan et al, 2021 ; Paredes et al, 2021 ; Shah et al, 2022 ). The implication is that for those with higher levels of resilience, the possible effects of COVID-19 worries are abated.…”

“…In the final model, worries were once again significant. This nevertheless aligns with the results from several other COVID-19 era studies uncovering an inverse relationship between fear and worries of the virus and mental health and MWB (e.g., Bullard, 2020 ; Sanborn et al, 2021 ; Shah et al, 2022 ). Making direct comparisons between the current studies and other studies is challenging because of the myriad ways that COVID-19 concerns have been measured.…”

“…Despite these limitations, our study has several strengths. A majority of the currently published research explores the impact of the pandemic immediately in the aftermath of the pandemic declaration, season cancellations, and the onset of lockdowns (Kocjan et al, 2021 ; Paredes et al, 2021 ; Sanborn et al, 2021 ; Shah et al, 2022 ). A couple studies were conducted in the Fall 2020 semester (National Collegiate Athletic Association., 2021 ; Valster et al, 2021 ) and indicated that distress was still high.…”

“…A large-scale review of MWB during the pandemic also found that generally, more resilient individuals were faring more positively (Manchia et al, 2022 ). Importantly, resilience has substantially reduced or eliminated the effect of various COVID-19 concerns on MWB (Chan et al, 2021 ; Kavčič et al 2021; Kocjan et al, 2021 ; Paredes et al, 2021 ; Shah et al, 2022 ).…”

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with robust declines in well-being for collegiate student-athletes. Worries about COVID-19 have frequently been associated with worsening well-being; therefore, it is important to examine protective factors against well-being decrements. Resilience, one's ability to respond to stress and adversity, may be one such factor. Despite this possible influence, resilience has not yet been studied in student-athletes in this context as the pandemic has progressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of resilience on the relationship between COVID-19 worries and well-being. In this cross-sectional design, National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III athletes (N = 91) at one university completed surveys on COVID-19 worries, resilience, and well-being between February and March 2021. All competitions had been postponed until the Spring 2021 semester. The findings revealed a negative correlation between COVID-19 worries and well-being (r = −0.21, p = 0.05) and a positive correlation between resilience and well-being (r = 0.44, p < 0.001). Additionally, multiple regression and simple slopes analyses showed that individuals with higher resilience endorsed greater scores of well-being, even when COVID-19 worries increased (β = 0.38, p = 0.02). In conclusion, our results suggest that resilience had a moderating effect on the relationship between COVID-19 worries and well-being.

“…En el ámbito universitario ha existido un cambio importante en el desarrollo de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje mediatizada por el empleo, impacto y emergencia del uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación (16). Suspender las actividades educativas presenciales en las instituciones de educación superior ocasionó que se trasfieran de modo inmediato al sistema online (8), esta transformación digital que han tenido que afrontar mediante la provisión de plataformas de aprendizaje en línea, puede considerarse un nuevo comienzo, sin embargo, este acelerado cambio de lo presencial a lo virtual, encontró a muchos centros de educación superior desprevenidos, poco preparados y con desafíos notables por esta transición (27). No cabe duda de que mucha de la educación en línea se imparte actualmente en sus formas más básicas, replicando formas más tradicionales de aprendizaje en el campus, como consecuencia del poco tiempo para repensar la pedagogía, para trabajar con diseñadores instruccionales, profesionales en material didáctico, especialmente diseñado para la entrega en línea y para capacitar a los profesores para que eduquen en línea (23).…”

The objective of the research was to determine the implications of the change from face-to-face to online education in university students, due to the global health crisis caused by COVID-19. The study design was observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional. It involved 400 students from different undergraduate careers of the two largest public higher education institutions in the city of Riobamba: Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) and Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo (UNACH). Data were collected through an online questionnaire sent to students via email and social networks. Four dimensions were investigated that measure implications at the psycho-emotional, academic, access and management of Tics, as well as general perceptions. The most relevant results indicate that a large percentage of students have experienced changes at the emotional, educational, and social levels, and have also seen their academic performance decrease with online classes. Regarding Internet access, they report that they often have a good Internet connection, and more than half consider the system adopted by their institution to be satisfactory. The current health crisis has left and is leaving many lessons and challenges still to be met, it is not known exactly how long higher education institutions, which were characterized by their basically face-to-face system, will have to face this challenge of online education, but work must continue to strengthen pedagogical skills and digital competencies of all actors in the higher education system. Keywords: university students, online teaching, COVID-19. Resumen La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar las implicaciones del cambio de modalidad de la educación presencial a online en estudiantes universitarios debido a la crisis sanitaria mundial por COVID-19. El diseño del estudio fue observacional, descriptivo y de corte transversal. Participaron 400 estudiantes de diferentes carreras de pregrado de las dos instituciones de educación superior públicas más grandes de la ciudad de Riobamba: Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) y Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo (UNACH). Los datos fueron recopilados a través de un cuestionario online enviado a los estudiantes a través de correo electrónico y redes sociales. Se investigaron 4 dimensiones que miden implicaciones a nivel psico-emocional, académico, acceso y manejo de Tics, así como percepciones generales. Los resultados más relevantes señalan que un gran porcentaje de estudiantes ha experimentado cambios en el nivel emocional, educativo y social, además, ha visto su rendimiento académico disminuido con las clases online. Con relación al acceso a internet, refieren que con frecuencia disponen de una buena conexión a internet y más de la mitad considera que el sistema adoptado por su institución es satisfactorio. La crisis sanitaria actual ha dejado y está dejando muchas lecciones y desafíos todavía por cumplir, no se conoce con exactitud el tiempo que aún las instituciones de educación superior, que se caracterizaban por su sistema básicamente presencial, tengan que enfrentar este reto de la educación online, pero se debe continuar trabajando en reforzar capacidades pedagógicas y competencias digitales de todos los actores del sistema de educación superior. Palabras Clave: estudiantes universitarios, enseñanza online, COVID-19.

Drawing on conservation of resources (COR) theory, we aimed to investigate whether leisure crafting reduces emotional exhaustion by improving sleep quality and strengthening psychological detachment from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. We posited that sleep quality and psychological detachment from the COVID‐19 pandemic mediate the negative relationship between leisure crafting and emotional exhaustion. We carried out a two‐wave longitudinal study among a group of individuals (N = 216) from Wuhan, China. We measured leisure crafting, sleep quality, and psychological detachment from the COVID‐19 pandemic at Time 1 and emotional exhaustion two months later at Time 2. We discovered that leisure crafting reduced emotional exhaustion at home by improving sleep quality and increasing psychological detachment from the COVID‐19 pandemic. At the end of this article, we discuss theoretical and practical implications, research limitations, and directions for future research.
