The Impact of Movement Control Order on Mental Health Among Students of the Faculty of Hospitality, Tourism and Wellness at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan

Abstract

Mental health problems among university students are now an issue in many countries. Many students must face many challenges every day, and eventually, they are so depressed that some are willing to commit suicide for failing to overcome this mental health problem. This research was conducted to study the negative effects of Covid-19 on the level of education among university students at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. Thus, 359 respondents among university students were randomly selected to complete the questionnaire. The questions focused on depression, anxiety and added stress in the online learning process. Furthermore, the questions also focus on which groups are most affected by mental health problems, such as ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomics. Since the university has decided to pursue distance learning, health professionals should provide the best support to students.
