The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of all including university students. With the preventive measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, all face-to-face teaching and learning are converted to e-learning. The COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of e-learning may influence these students’ mental conditions. This study aimed to determine the association of factors with mental health status (depression, anxiety and stress) among university students in Malaysia. Study participants were tertiary education students from both the private and public universities in Malaysia. Participants were recruited via university emails and social media. The survey was administered via the online REDCap platform, from April to June 2020, during the movement control order period in the country. The questionnaire captured data on socio-demographic characteristics, academic information, implementation of e-learning, perception towards e-learning and COVID-19; as well as DASS 21 to screen for depression, anxiety and stress. The levels of stress, anxiety and depression were 56.5% (95% CI: 50.7%, 62.1%), 51.3% (95% CI: 45.6%, 57.0%) and 29.4% (95% CI: 24.3%, 34.8%) respectively. Most participants had good perception towards e-learning but negative perception on COVID-19. From the multivariate analysis, participants with positive perception on COVID-19 were protective towards stress (aOR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.92, 0.99), anxiety (aOR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90, 0.98) and depression (aOR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.91, 0.99). Older students were 14% (aOR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.79, 0.94) and 11% (aOR: 0.89: 95% CI: 0.80, 0.99) less likely for anxiety and depression, respectively. Students originated from the Malay ethnicity had higher odds (aOR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.05, 3.56) for depression. These findings demonstrated that the mental status of university students was greatly affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Timely and credible information should be disseminated to alleviate their negative perception towards COVID-19.

对电子学习和 COVID-19 对马来西亚大学生心理健康状况的看法

COVID-19 大流行扰乱了包括大学生在内的所有人的生活。通过采取预防措施减少 COVID-19 的传播,所有面对面的教学都转变为电子学习。COVID-19大流行和电子学习的实施可能会影响这些学生的心理状况。本研究旨在确定马来西亚大学生心理健康状况(抑郁、焦虑和压力)的因素之间的关系。研究参与者是来自马来西亚私立和公立大学的高等教育学生。参与者是通过大学电子邮件和社交媒体招募的。该调查是在 2020 年 4 月至 6 月期间,在该国的行动控制令期间通过在线 REDCap 平台进行的。调查问卷收集了有关社会人口特征、学术信息、电子学习实施情况、对电子学习和 COVID-19 的看法的数据;以及用于筛查抑郁、焦虑和压力的 DASS 21。压力、焦虑和抑郁水平分别为 56.5% (95% CI: 50.7%, 62.1%)、51.3% (95% CI: 45.6%, 57.0%) 和 29.4% (95% CI: 24.3%, 34.8%)分别。大多数参与者对电子学习有良好的看法,但对 COVID-19 持负面看法。从多变量分析来看,对 COVID-19 有积极看法的参与者对压力(aOR:0.96;95% CI:0.92,0.99)、焦虑(aOR:0.94,95% CI:0.90,0.98)和抑郁(aOR: 0.95;95% CI:0.91,0.99)。年龄较大的学生焦虑和抑郁的可能性分别低 14% (aOR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.79, 0.94) 和 11% (aOR: 0.89: 95% CI: 0.80, 0.99)。马来裔学生患抑郁症的几率较高(aOR:1.93;95% CI:1.05,3.56)。这些发现表明,大学生的心理状态在COVID-19大流行期间受到很大影响。应传播及时、可靠的信息,以减轻他们对 COVID-19 的负面看法。
