Movement control order (MCO) was enforced by the Malaysian government on 18th March 2020 due to sudden increase in the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases. University students, including medical students, were among the group of the population which were significantly affected. This study was conducted among medical students in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) to compare the mental health status and coping strategies, between gender and phase of the clinical study related to their quarantine status between 18th March 2020 to 9th June 2020. This was a cross-sectional study involving the undergraduate medical students in UPM in the academic year of 2019/2020 during the MCO. A stratified random sampling method was used; a total of 173 respondents which includes students of Year 1 to Year 5 participated. The study was conducted after five months since the first day of MCO, for one week period of data collection. The mental health status was assessed using Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale 21-item (DASS-21) questionnaire. Four-point Likert scale was scored to determine the degree of severity. The coping strategies was assessed using Brief-COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) in which four-point Likert scale was used as well, and the total marks were grouped into four coping strategies. This study found higher scores of DASS-21 in the non-quarantined group and approach method was considered as a favourable coping strategy in both groups. In the quarantined group, female and clinical students showed higher scores of DASS-21. In the non-quarantined group, clinical students showed a significantly higher score of stress while male students significantly used their humour as coping strategies.

Abstract Backgrounds Outbreak of COVID-19 imposed great pressure on the professional work and psychological health of medical staff, especially in the early stage. This study aims to assess the coping ability and mental health status of medical workers and find influencing factors on them during the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical staff in Henan from January 29th to February 4th with a total of 1739 participates. A self-made questionnaire was used to evaluate their coping ability and mental health status (Both total score 110). Chi-square analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors on them. Results The majority of the participants (96.8%) had coping ability scores (Median, 81; IQR, 75~87) above the passing line, most (65.0%) were in normal mental health (median, 58; IQR, 44~68). Analyses showed that older age, higher education level, and distrust in unofficial information were facilitating factors for better copying ability among medical workers. For mental health status, medical workers had 3 promoting factors: older age, distrust of unofficial information, and non-participation in epidemic prevention and control. On the other hand, poor physical health was a risk factor. (P<0.05) Conclusions In early stage of the epidemic, medical staff in Henan performed well in coping ability and mental health, but the government still needs to pay more attention to the coping capacity and mental health of medical workers who are younger, less educated, blind to unofficial information and in poor physical condition who may have worse coping ability and mental health status. And other studies are needed to determine the follow-up status.

Background. This study aimed at assessing the mental health status of adults living in Portugal during the national lockdown of March 2020 to May 2020, how study participants coped with stress during the national lockdown, as well as the association between coping responses and mental health status. Methods. 430 adults from the general population living in Portugal completed measures of mental health status and coping. Results. Participants reported a mental health status in the normal range. Most commonly used coping responses were acceptance, planning and active coping. The use of instrumental and emotional support, self-blame, venting, denial, behavioural disengagement, and substance use were associated with poorer mental health. Active coping, positive reframing, acceptance, and humour were associated with better mental health. However, only positive reframing and humour significantly predicted better mental health, while only substance use predicted poorer mental health. Conclusions. Findings suggest that there was not a significant negative impact of the Portuguese national lockdown in the adults living in Portugal. Findings supported positive reframing and humour as being adaptive coping responses in this context. These responses should be encouraged by healthcare professionals and targeted in the context of psychosocial intervention programs directed to most vulnerable populations.

International students are at heightened risk of developing psychological distress, yet little research has been conducted on  their mental health or support needs. This quantitative study focused on undergraduate students at two mid-sized universities in Manitoba, Canada. Online and paper surveys were completed by 932 participants, of whom 21% identified as international students. This paper, descriptive in nature, outlines the sociodemographic profiles, current mental health status, psychological characteristics, and coping strategies of international students compared to domestic students in each institution. Data show that international students are more likely to report excellent mental health, score higher on the mental health scale, and report higher life satisfaction, higher self-esteem, and more positive body image than domestic respondents. However, they are less likely to talk about their hardships. Providing culturally-adapted supports that take into consideration ethnolinguistic differences, religious practice, and mental health literacy will better meet the needs of international students on campus.
