Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes in medical education. The physical restrictions lead to fully online learning that is new for students. Students failure to adapt to this situation might cause psychological disorders. This study aims to see the psychological conditions of undergraduate students during pandemic Covid-19. This study was cross-sectional using a mixed-methods design with a sequential explanatory approach. The study population was all of undergraduate students (Year 1 till Year 4) of the Faculty of Medicine UII in the academic year 2020/2021. Subjects were determined by consecutive sampling (n=299). Data collected through Self Reporting Questionnaire 29 Items (SRQ-29) and open question in terms of student feelings. Quantitative data were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis-Test by comparing students mental state in each batch. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. More than half of the students had mental disorders (59 %). The percentage of mental disorders for Year 1-Year 4 were 65, 59, 60, and 51, respectively. There was no significant difference in the number of students who had mental disorders in each batch (p> 0.05). Most of the students experienced that they felt stress and bored in this pandemic situation. Students in each year had different additional stress. For instance, students year one struggled to adapt to the higher education learning environment, while fourth-year students were facing a problem to finish their study on time. Pandemic Covid-18 and the change in learning methods become essential stress for students. Faculty need to monitor students physical condition regularly and to design comfort learning methods for students.
