It is becoming clear that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating psychological impact on Vietnamese society, but little is known about its impact on Vietnamese students. In the current study, we evaluated whether anxiety of contracting COVID-19 is related to students’ learning burnout. Specifically, we tested two months into the pandemic whether this anxiety is linked to pupils’ learning exhaustion and cynicism. The data includes 652 Vietnamese students (56.3% girls) with M_age = 12.6 (SD = 1.0). The data were collected using a self-report questionnaire during an online survey. Two Multiple Linear Regression Analyses tested the associations between COVID-19 anxiety and learning-related exhaustion (Model 1) and learning-related cynicism (Model 2), controlling for general depression, gender and grade. Results show that COVID-19 anxiety significantly and uniquely links to learning-related cynicism but not learning exhaustion, suggesting that the pandemic affects Vietnamese students’ ability to thrive through education.

越来越明显的是，COVID-19大流行对越南社会产生了毁灭性的心理影响，但对其对越南学生的影响知之甚少。在本研究中，我们评估了感染COVID-19的焦虑是否与学生的学习倦怠有关。具体来说，我们对大流行病进行了两个月的测试，这种焦虑是否与学生的学习疲惫和玩世不恭相联系。数据包括652名越南学生（56.3％的女孩），M_年龄 = 12.6（SD = 1.0）。在在线调查期间，使用自我报告调查表收集了数据。两项多元线性回归分析测试了COVID-19焦虑与学习相关的疲惫（模型1）和学习相关的犬儒主义（模型2）之间的关联，控制了总体抑郁，性别和年级。结果表明，COVID-19焦虑与学习相关的犬儒主义有显着且独特的联系，但与学习力竭无关，这表明该大流行影响了越南学生通过教育而蓬勃发展的能力。
