<p>Objective: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic represents an acute worldwide public health crisis<br>
causing an immediate disruption to every demographic group. One group significantly affected both<br>
educationally and psychosocially is college students, as they experienced an abrupt cancellation of<br>
in-person courses, were forced to leave their dormitories, and witnessed a loss of social activities.<br>
Method: This study utilizes survey data from college students in the throes of COVID-19-based home<br>
schooling collected for a Belgium-based international study including more than 134,000 participants<br>
from 28 countries around the world. Two hundred fifty-seven college students from a U.S. university<br>
participated in this study. Results: Results indicate that college students are affected by COVID-19 on<br>
several levels, including fear of themselves or others in their social network contracting the virus,<br>
apprehension about the changes in coursework delivery and unclear instructional parameters, overall<br>
loneliness, compromised motivation, and sleep disturbances, as well as anxious and depressive symptoms.<br>
Conclusions: Analyses reveal a positive relationship between academic frustrations and mental<br>
health symptoms, the latter also negatively related to trust in the government regarding the preventive<br>
measures being implemented. Worries about becoming infected were positively related to mental health<br>
symptoms and negatively related to trust in the government. Results and implications are discussed.</p>

<p><strong>Background</strong></p>
<p>Students are a vulnerable group for the indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly their mental health. This paper examined the cross-national variation in students' depressive symtoms and whether this can be related to the various protective measures implemented in response to the initial stage of the COVID-19 outbreak. </p>
<p><strong>Methods</strong></p>
<p>Student data stem from the COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study, covering 26 countries during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Country-level data on government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic were retrieved from the Oxford COVID-19 Tracker. Multilevel analyses were performed to estimate the impact of the containment and economic support measures on students' depressive symptoms (<em>n </em>= 78 312).</p>
<p><strong>Results </strong></p>
<p>School and workplace closures, and stay-at-home restrictions were positively related to students' depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic, while none of the economic support measures significantly related to depressive symptoms. Countries' scores on the index of these containment measures explained 1.5% of the cross-national variation in students' depressive symptoms (5.3%). This containment index's effect was stable, even when controlling for the economic support index, students' characteristics, and countries' epidemiological context and economic conditions.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p>
<p>Our findings raise concerns about the potential adverse effects of existing containment measures (especially the closure of schools and workplaces and stay-at-home restrictions) on students' mental health.</p>

<p>The corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become a burden that has received the attention worldwide. The disease is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of October 13, 38 million cases have been confirmed with more than 1.8 million deaths due to COVID-19. In response to the pandemic governments worldwide are implementing public health measures.</p>
<p>However, effective control of the pandemic is largely dependent on preventive practice of the general public. The extent to which a preventive practice is exercised vastly depends on disease related knowledge of the individual. Having a misleading or false knowledge on COVID-19 can lead to an exaggerated emotional state such as worries (through risk perception) which can lead to depression. On the other hand, misleading or false knowledge can also lead to lack of attention to preventive practices. </p>

<p>Die Pandemie des neuen Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 und die von der Politik verordneten Massnahmen zur Eindämmung der Ausbreitung und zur Entlastung des Gesundheitswesens beeinflussen das Leben und den Alltag der Menschen erheblich. Auch das Leben der Studentinnen und Studenten an Hochschulen hat sich durch die Umstellung auf Onlineunterricht, durch die Einschränkung sozialer Kontakte und durch den teilweisen Wegfall von Studierenden-Jobs abrupt verändert. Die von der Universität Antwerpen lancierte «International COVID-19 Student Well-being Study» verfolgte das Ziel, die Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf Hochschulstudierende zu erheben. Das Forschungsteam ging davon aus, dass die Pandemie-Massnahmen einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Lebens- und Studienverhältnisse der Studierenden, ihre Arbeitslast, ihre psychische Gesundheit und ihr Gesundheitsverhalten genommen haben. Mithilfe einer standardisierten Onlinebefragung haben verschiedene Universitäten aus Europa und Nordamerika an der Studie teilgenommen und ihre Studierenden in den Monaten April bis Mai 2020 befragt. Neben den drei Schweizer Universitäten Bern, Genf und Freiburg hat auch die Berner Fachhochschule (BFH) an der Studie teilgenommen. Neben der Bereitstellung der Daten für die internationale Studie war für die BFH von Interesse, die Ergebnisse der Studierenden-Befragung einerseits mit denen der Departemente und andererseits auch mit denen der teilnehmenden Schweizer Universitäten zu vergleichen. Die Auswertungen wurden in vier Bereiche aufgeteilt: - Veränderungen im Leben und Studium - Veränderungen des Gesundheitsverhaltens - Sorgen und Wissen bezüglich SARS-CoV-2 - psychische Gesundheit während des Lockdowns2 - Risikofaktoren und Schutzfaktoren des psychischen Wohlbefindens Veränderungen im Leben und Studium Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass wegen des Lockdowns etwa die Hälfte der Studierenden eine Zunahme der subjektiven Arbeitslast im Studium erfahren haben. Der starke Rückgang des Präsenzunterrichts wurde nicht nur mit Onlineunterricht, sondern auch mit mehr Selbststudium kompensiert. Neben den Aufwänden für das Studium wurden auch die Wochenstunden, die für die Erwerbsarbeit eingesetzt worden waren, erfragt. Diese nahmen nur bei den befragten Studierenden der Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB) und den Universitätsstudierenden signifikant ab. Der Corona-Ausbruch wirkte sich nur geringfügig auf die allgemeine finanzielle Lage der Studierenden aus. Die meisten Studierenden verfügten auch während des Lockdowns über genügende finanzielle Mittel, um ihre monatlichen Kosten zu decken. Eine Ausnahme waren die Studierenden mit ausländischem Geburtsort und Studierende der Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB): Rund 29 Prozent dieser Studierenden verfügten nicht über genügend Mittel, um die monatlichen Kosten zu decken. Während des Lockdowns haben die Studierenden seltener als sonst studienbezogene Sorgen und psychosoziale Anliegen mit dem Lehrpersonal besprochen – trotz mutmasslich schwierigerer Studienbedingungen. Weil das Besprechen von Sorgen und Anliegen mit der psychischen Gesundheit zusammenhängt, dürfte die Zugänglichkeit des Personals einen Einfluss auf das Wohlbefinden der Studierenden haben. Die allgemeinen Studienerfahrungen während des Lockdowns waren durchmischt. Über 60 Prozent der befragten Studierenden berichteten, dass während der Krise unklar gewesen sei, was in den einzelnen Modulen und Kursen erwartet werde. Etwa 40 Prozent berichteten davon, dass die Qualität in der Lehre gesunken sei. Weiter berichtete ein Drittel der BFH-Studierenden von erheblichem Stress, der durch die Veränderungen der Lehrmethoden ausgelöst worden sei. Dieser Anteil war bei den Studierenden der Universitäten mit ungefähr 50 Prozent ungleich höher. Der grösste Teil der BFH-Studierenden war mit dem Krisenmanagement der Hochschule zufrieden. Auch die Zugänglichkeit des Hochschulpersonals wurde mehrheitlich für gut befunden. Bei den hierzu untersuchten Indikatoren schnitt die BFH besser ab als die Schweizer Universitäten, die an der Studie teilgenommen hatten. Veränderungen des Gesundheitsverhaltens Im Allgemeinen zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass sich das Gesundheitsverhalten während der Corona-Krise nur wenig verändert hat. Eine Ausnahme ist das Rauschtrinken, das bei den befragten Studierenden während des Lockdowns signifikant abgenommen hat. Diese Abnahme könnte auf das veränderte soziale Verhalten respektive eine Abnahme an Gelegenheiten zurückzuführen sein. Sorgen und Wissen bezüglich SARS-CoV-2 Im Allgemeinen machten sich die befragten Studierenden wenig Sorgen, sich mit dem Virus zu infizieren. In Bezug auf das Wissen über das Virus wurden nur geringfügige Unterschiede zwischen den untersuchten Gruppen beobachtet. Psychische Gesundheit während des Lockdowns Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass die Studierenden der Departemente und der Hochschultypen im Lockdown unterschiedlich stark mit psychischen Belastungen konfrontiert waren. Mögliche Gründe könnten in den unterschiedlich verteilten Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren (z. B. finanzielle Situation) zu finden sein, wobei dazu vertiefte Forschung benötigt wird. Die Studierenden der BFH waren während des Lockdowns im Allgemeinen weniger stark mit psychischen Belastungen konfrontiert als die Studierenden der Universitäten. Eine Ausnahme bildeten die befragten Studierenden der Künste. Sie fühlten sich im Vergleich mit den Studierenden der Universitäten zwar nicht so einsam, wiesen im Schnitt aber eine ähnlich hohe Depressionsneigung wie die Universitätsstudierenden auf. Risikofaktoren und Schutzfaktoren des psychischen Wohlbefindens Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass eine schlechte finanzielle Lage und das Vorhandensein von Vorerkrankungen das psychische Wohlbefinden der Studierenden stark negativ beeinflussen. Weitere, etwas weniger grosse Faktoren für ein geringeres psychisches Wohlbefinden im Lockdown können bei Studentinnen, bei jüngeren Studierenden, bei Studierenden mit ausländischer Herkunft und bei Studierenden, die sich Sorgen um den Semesterabschluss machen, beobachtet werden. Werden die Ergebnisse auf mutmasslich veränderbare Faktoren reduziert, sind eine gute finanzielle Lage, ein besseres Wissen über das Virus, eine generell höhere Gesundheitskompetenz, die Möglichkeit, Sorgen mit dem Hochschulpersonal besprechen zu können, und die Zuversicht, das Studium erfolgreich abschliessen zu können, relevante Faktoren für ein höheres psychisches Wohlbefinden. Fazit Die Studie gibt interessante Einblicke in die Veränderungen des Studierendenlebens während des Lockdowns, in das Gesundheitsverhalten der Studierenden und in die Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren ihres psychischen Wohlbefindens. Das erste Ergebnis ist, dass BFH-Studierende der Künste, im Vergleich zu Studierenden anderer Departemente, besonders durch den Ausfall der Erwerbsarbeit und eine schlechtere finanzielle Lage betroffen waren. Der in der Studie beobachtete starke Zusammenhang zwischen einer schlechten finanziellen Situation und Depressivität könnte die höhere Depressionsneigung der HKB-Studierenden zumindest teilweise erklären (Kapitel 4.6). Das zweite wichtige Ergebnis ist, dass das Studium für viele Studierende zu einer grossen Herausforderung wurde. Grosse Anteile der befragten Studierenden berichteten von einer deutlich höheren Arbeitslast, weniger klaren Erwartungen, geringerer Qualität in der Lehre, mehr Stress und mehr Sorgen aufgrund der veränderten Studienbedingungen. Diese Ergebnisse müssen für die gegenwärtige und zukünftige Lehre sowie für die Studienadministration ernst genommen werden. Eine besondere Herausforderung ist der Erhalt der Unterrichtsqualität im Onlineunterricht. Diese darf nicht durch unklare Anforderungen, Unsicherheiten oder technische Hürden leiden. Vielmehr muss ein möglichst transparentes und einfaches Studieren weiterhin möglich sein und entsprechend überwacht werden. Drittens fällt auf, dass die psychischen Belastungen während des Lockdowns teils sehr hoch waren. Signifikante Unterschiede gab es nicht nur zwischen den Studiengängen, sondern auch nach Personenmerkmalen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass nicht nur soziokulturelle Faktoren, sondern auch persönliche Faktoren mit erhöhter Depressivität zusammenhängen. Wenngleich keine Kausalanalyse vorgenommen worden ist, weisen die Ergebnisse doch auf die Möglichkeiten hin, wie die Hochschulen die psychische Gesundheit der Studierenden stärken könnten. Dabei sind eine hohe Ansprechbarkeit des Hochschulpersonals, ein prominenter Verweis zu verlässlichen Informationen über die Gefahr (hier das Virus), die Information und Vermittlung finanzieller Hilfen (z. B. mithilfe der Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit) sowie eine rasche und deutliche Kommunikation über die veränderten Anforderungen am erfolgversprechendsten. Abschliessend kann festgestellt werden, dass Studierende besonders bezüglich ihrer psychischen Gesundheit eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit benötigen. Ein vielfältiges Beratungsangebot und individuelle Unterstützungen erhalten in der Pandemie eine besondere Bedeutung. Zudem sind weitere Forschungsbestrebungen zur Qualität der Hochschulbildung in Krisenzeiten notwendig. Die Hochschulen stehen am Anfang einer Entwicklung hin zu hybriden und distanzierten Formaten des Lernens und Lehrens, die gleichzeitig oder parallel zum Präsenzunterricht verwendet werden. Der Forschung stellt sich die Aufgabe, die Qualität und die Wirkung der neuen Unterrichtsformate zu erheben und längerfristig zu beobachten.</p>

<p>As a large international consortium of 26 countries and 133 higher-education institutions (HEIs), we successfully developed<br>
and executed an online student survey during or directly after the initial peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19<br>
International Student Well-being Study (C19 ISWS) is a cross-sectional multicountry study that collected data on highereducation<br>
students during the COVID-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020. The dataset allows description of: (1) living<br>
conditions, financial conditions, and academic workload before and during the COVID-19 outbreak; (2) the current level of<br>
mental well-being and effects on healthy lifestyles; (3) perceived stressors; (4) resources (e.g., social support and economic<br>
capital); (5) knowledge related to COVID-19; and (6) attitudes toward COVID-19 measures implemented by the government<br>
and relevant HEI. The dataset additionally includes information about COVID-19 measures taken by the government and<br>
HEI that were in place during the period of data collection. The collected data provide a comprehensive and comparative<br>
dataset on student well-being.</p>

<p>Tobacco, alcohol and cannabis are commonly used among university students. However,<br>
student lives and their substance use have changed dramatically since the start of the COVID-19<br>
pandemic. This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on (trends in) weekly smoking, weekly<br>
binge drinking and weekly cannabis use in Dutch university students and investigated associated<br>
student-, study- and COVID-19-related characteristics. Between April and June 2020, several Dutch<br>
higher educational institutes invited their students to participate in an online survey. Data of<br>
9967 students (Mage = 22.0 (SD = 2.6); Nfemale = 7008 (70.3%)) were available for analyses. Overall,<br>
weekly smoking remained stable (11.5%), weekly binge drinking decreased (from 27.8% to 13.9%)<br>
and weekly cannabis use increased (from 6.7% to 8.6%). Male gender, not living with parents, being<br>
a bachelor student, having less financial resources and less adherence to the COVID-19 measures<br>
were found to increase the risk of substance use (before/during the first COVID-19 lockdown).<br>
Additionally, male gender, not living with parents, being a bachelor student, not being born in the<br>
Netherlands and having a student loan contributed to the likelihood of increased substance use during<br>
COVID-19. Patterns of characteristics contributing to the likelihood of decreased weekly substance<br>
use during COVID-19 were less clear. The risk factors male gender, not living with parents and being<br>
a bachelor student do not only contribute to the likelihood of using substances but also contribute to<br>
the likelihood of increased use during a lockdown. Prevention and intervention programs should<br>
especially target these risk groups.</p>

<p>At the beginning of May 2020 all students of Inholland, University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, received an invitation to participate in a large international study<sup>1</sup> on the corona crisis impact on student life and studies. These three posters, presented by the Study Success Research Group, cover relevant results on several subjects like student wellbeing, student engagement, (un)healthy habits, resilience, the coronavirus and related worries.</p>
<p><sup>1</sup>This study is part of the COVID-19 International Student Well-Being Study (C19 ISWS). C19 ISWS is the result of a study design, study protocol and questionnaire developed by a team of the University of Antwerp, Belgium (prof. Sarah Van de Velde, dr. Veerle Buffel and prof. Edwin Wouters).</p>

<p>The Belgian data of the C19 ISWS show that students experience a lot of stress as a result of the COVID-19 measures. A large part of the students indicates that the workload increased considerably during the COVID-19 epidemic, that the study expectations became more unclear and that this caused them stress. Less than 20% indicate that they are not worried about finishing this academic year successfully. Moreover, a substantial group indicates that the quality of education declined during the COVID-19 epidemic, and that the university or college did not inform them sufficiently about the measures implemented. Approximately one third did not feel that they could turn to someone at the university or college to address these concerns. Nevertheless, the majority of students are satisfied with the way in which the university or college of applied its measures in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak. </p>
<p>We also find that there is a strong increase in the number of students reporting financial problems during the COVID-19 epidemic. The most pronounced increase in financial problems can be found among students with a migration background, students with lower-educated parents, students who pay for their own studies, and students with limited availability of social and economic capital. </p>
<p>Students experience strong feelings of loneliness during the COVID-19 epidemic. This is more pronounced among female students, younger students and students with limited social and economic capital. Students generally have less social contacts with family and friends during the COVID-19 epidemic. Mainly the social contact with friends has decreased. Students mainly contact each other online (video conversations, chatting). A minority of students have face-to-face contact (a chat on the street, a picnic in the park). <br>
Students report many depressive complaints. This is even more pronounced among female students and students with lower-educated parents. Finally, Bachelor students and students from the humanities, social sciences, literature and philosophy appear to have a harder time. </p>
<p>At the same time, we see positive developments in the domain of healthy lifestyles. There is a strong decrease in alcohol consumption and in the frequency of binge drinking during the COVID-19 epidemic. Also the use of cannabis and smoking decreased during the COVID-19 epidemic. Students also changed their sports behavior, but fell into extremes: both the proportion of students who almost never, and the proportion who almost daily exercizes, grew. </p>
<p><br>
The infection rate with COVID-19 within the student sample is similar to that observed in the general population; 2.5% of the student sample became infected with COVID-19 (confirmed by a lab test or by a health care provider), and 9% suspected they had COVID-19 without confirmation from a health care provider. Within the group of students who did not get infected, one in four students considered it probable to very probable that they would become infected with COVID-19. </p>
<p><br>
More than half of the students adhere well or very well to government measures. However, it is striking that one in ten students do not give themselves a positive score here. Slightly more than 6% even say they do not comply with the measures at all.<br>

<p>The corona outbreak has a strong negative impact on the (mental) health and well-being of the population. People experienced more anxiety, stress, anger, fear and depressive symptoms at the start of the outbreak of corona compared to before the outbreak (Torales, O’Higgins, Castaldelli-Maia, & Ventriglio, 2020). The Trimbos Institute for Mental Health (2020) showed that these adverse mental health problems were experienced by one third of the Dutch population.</p>
<p><br>
For students the corona outbreak implied rapid changes in their personal lives as well as their student life. In Wageningen, on-campus classes were cancelled and replaced by online alternatives. For many students the outbreak created uncertainty whether they could finish their study in time. In addition, due to social distancing measures many students moved back to their parental homes or lived more isolated in their student homes. These changes are likely to impact their mental health and well-being<br>
In order to examine the (mental) health and well-being of students across Europe, the University of Antwerp developed a digital survey. The survey assessed students’ living conditions (physical and financial) and lifestyle behaviours (physical activity, alcohol consumption and tobacco use) before and after the outbreak of corona. In addition, students’ mental health and well-being were assessed by using the CES-D 8 scale (Radloff, 1977) and resilience was measured by using the Brief Resilience Scale (Smith et al., 2008). Finally, in the survey students were asked to evaluate the measures taken by governments and universities in response to the corona outbreak.</p>
<p>The overall aim of the survey is to identify how the corona outbreak relates to students’ mental health and well-being, hypothesizing that national and university-level measures significantly impact on the well-being of university students</p>
<p>Wageningen University participated in this survey, together with universities and other educational institutes from 26 different countries (see Appendix A for participating countries) including many European countries, Canada, United States and South-Africa. This report shows the preliminary results of this survey for students of Wageningen University</p>

<p>As a large international consortium of 26 countries and 110 higher-education institutions (HEIs), we successfully developed and executed an online student survey during or directly after the initial peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study (C19 ISWS) is a cross-sectional multicountry study that collected data on highereducation students during the COVID-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020. The dataset allows description of: (1) living conditions, financial conditions, and academic workload before and during the COVID-19 outbreak; (2) the current level of mental well-being and effects on healthy lifestyles; (3) perceived stressors; (4) resources (e.g., social support and economic capital); (5) knowledge related to COVID-19; and (6) attitudes toward COVID-19 measures implemented by the government and relevant HEI. The dataset additionally includes information about COVID-19 measures taken by the government and HEI that were in place during the period of data collection. The collected data provide a comprehensive and comparative dataset on student well-being. In this article, we present the rationale for this study, the development and content of the survey, the methodology of data collection and sampling, and the limitations of the study. In addition, we highlight the opportunities that the dataset provides for advancing social science research on student well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic in varying policy contexts. Thus far, this is, to our knowledge, the first cross-country student well-being survey during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a unique dataset that enables high-priority socially relevant research.</p>

<p>Uncertain times require prompt reflexes to survive and this study is a collaborative reflex to better understand uncertainty and navigate through it. The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic hit hard and interrupted many dimensions of our lives, particularly education. As a response to interruption of education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this study is a collaborative reaction that narrates the overall view, reflections from the K12 and higher educational landscape, lessons learned and suggestions from a total of 31 countries across the world with a representation of 62.7% of the whole world population. In addition to the value of each case by country, the synthesis of this research suggests that the current practices can be defined as emergency remote education and this practice is different from planned practices such as distance education, online learning or other derivations. Above all, this study points out how social injustice, inequity and the digital divide have been exacerbated during the pandemic and need unique and targeted measures if they are to be addressed. While there are support communities and mechanisms, parents are overburdened between regular daily/professional duties and emerging educational roles, and all parties are experiencing trauma, psychological pressure and anxiety to various degrees, which necessitates a pedagogy of care, affection and empathy. In terms of educational processes, the interruption of education signifies the importance of openness in education and highlights issues that should be taken into consideration such as using alternative assessment and evaluation methods as well as concerns about surveillance, ethics, and data privacy resulting from nearly exclusive dependency on online solutions.</p>
