About

Introducing restrictions on human contact has been effective in preventing the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19, however, it appears to have negatively impacted mental health. Psychological problems in different age groups occur with different intensity and duration of the pandemic. This study was aimed to assess the impact of introducing distance learning (e-Learning) on the stress levels and mental well-being among Slovak Students.

Full description

Socially isolated young people, condemned to constant contact with the Internet, find themselves in sorrowful situations where their basic need were impossible. Previous studies report that university students report high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, which affects student motivation and attitudes toward learning; however, to date, no such studies have been conducted on a population of Slovakian Students. This study considered 4 Slovak universities. Using standardized questionnaires, students' mental status during e-Learning was assessed at the beginning of the summer semester (February, March 2021).
