In higher education, student mental health has become a growing problem. The
COVID-19 pandemic has refocused attention on this vulnerable group. This study seeks
to provide a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
university student’s mental health. To assess the mental health status of public university
students in Malaysia, an online survey using GAD-7 and PHQ-9 screening tests was
conducted with 200 students and the data was analyzed through quantitative methods.
The mental health statistical analysis using IBM Statistical Product and Service Solutions
(SPSS) version 27.0 revealed that the 88 students (44.00%) were highly experiencing
mild anxiety symptoms. Whereas, 74 students (37.00%) were highly experiencing mild
depressive symptoms during this COVID-19 outbreak. However, significant findings reported that 25 students (12.50%) and 24 students (12.00%) have severe anxiety and depressive symptoms respectively. The level of anxiety, depression of the students and the duration of the students staying alone or away from the family has a significant correlation with each other of at least r=0.147. These findings have encouraged the researcher to propose a mitigation model for universities to address mental health issues
among university students. |
