Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has been around for a long time in Pakistan and it has resulted in the shutting down of education sector over a long period of time. Despite this hurdle, government has implemented Online Education System in universities throughout Pakistan. But this online education system comes with its own caveats and problems. The many gaps and oversights in Pakistan's online education system as well problems of being developing country have all contributed to deterioration of students' mental health. This article focuses on negative effects this lockdown and online education has caused on student's studies, how their mental health has deteriorated over the time span of online classes. The questionnaires were designed to assess online education pressure, psychological distress and fear of failing in students. Findings shows that online education pressure has caused a severe and significant increase in student's Psychological Distress, especially in context of Fear of Failure. This study will help policy makers in solving the issue of psychological distress in students by taking appropriate steps and adopting better strategies.

新冠肺炎疫情对巴基斯坦学生心理健康的影响:在线教育压力、不及格恐惧和心理困扰

新冠肺炎疫情在巴基斯坦已经持续了很长时间，导致教育部门长期关闭。尽管存在这个障碍，政府已经在巴基斯坦各地的大学实施了在线教育系统。但这种在线教育系统也有其自身的警告和问题。巴基斯坦在线教育系统的许多差距和疏忽，以及发展中国家的问题，都导致了学生心理健康的恶化。本文主要关注封锁和在线教育对学生学习造成的负面影响，以及他们的心理健康在在线课程的时间跨度内是如何恶化的。这些问卷旨在评估在线教育的压力、心理困扰和学生对失败的恐惧。研究结果表明，网络教育压力导致学生心理困扰严重且显著增加，尤其是在“害怕失败”的背景下。本研究将有助于决策者采取适当的措施和策略来解决学生的心理困扰问题。
