Abstract

COVID 19 outbreak caused the global crisis in every possible sector. More specifically, the health, economy, and education sectors. Different initiatives have been taken to mitigate the global crisis, such as movement restriction, Movement Control Order (MCO), social distancing for a long time. Consequently, all education institutions across the globe had to remain close for a long time. The limited the scope of face-to-face classes and jeopardized the social lives of students grossly. Students had to face several unforeseen challenges all over the world for which they were not prepared enough. In this study, we mainly investigated the stressors students had to face due to COVID 19 and how this has cost their coping strategies. We recruited 228 university students (Undergrad, postgrad, and Ph.D.). Among them, 50% were undergraduate students.  We found anxiety regarding family safety, timely completion of the degree and study level as the most common COVID 19 related stressors. Besides these, cognitive restructuring and social support were the two most commonly used coping strategies to handle the stress students faced during the pandemic situation. We recommend taking initiatives to accelerate positive coping strategies among students to cope with real-life crises more effectively.
应对COVID - 19压力源:一项针对大学生的研究
新冠肺炎疫情给全球各个领域都带来了危机。更具体地说,是卫生、经济和教育部门。为缓解全球危机,各国长期采取了行动限制、行动控制令、保持社交距离等措施。因此,全球所有的教育机构都不得不在很长一段时间内关闭。这严重限制了面对面上课的范围,严重危害了学生的社会生活。学生们不得不面对世界各地的一些无法预料的挑战,而他们却没有做好充分的准备。在这项研究中,我们主要调查了学生因COVID - 19而不得不面对的压力源,以及这对他们的应对策略造成的影响。我们招募了228名大学生(本科生、研究生和博士)。其中50%为本科生。我们发现,对家庭安全、及时完成学位和学习水平的焦虑是最常见的与COVID - 19相关的压力源。此外,认知重构和社会支持是学生在大流行期间应对压力的两种最常用的应对策略。我们建议采取主动措施,加快学生的积极应对策略,以更有效地应对现实生活中的危机。
