The Impact

The novel coronavirus has taken a catastrophic toll worldwide on physical and mental health. We focused on the psychosocial impact among students in Uruguay, a country relatively protected from the pandemic. Our study had three main aims : 1) describe in detail the impact among university students, 2) identify relationships between different dimensions and 3) highlight the factors determinant of mental distress. We designed a multi-dimensional questionnaire to investigate the perceived impact on the lives of students. The questionnaire was administered to 144 undergraduates in Uruguay online while the university was closed. 38-66% of students indicated increases in signs of anxiety, depression or sleep disturbances. Independently of other related factors, increases in substance use, impairments in social relationships, negative impacts of school closures, and personal economic worries explained 41% of variance in psychological distress. Findings are discussed in terms of policies for public health and future directions for research on mental health.

World Information

It has been observed that social media platforms have had both a positive and negative effect on how India has dealt with the COVID 19 pandemic. As the coronavirus took over the world, many took to social media to learn about how the virus spreads and what it is. Although this helped inform everyone on how to take precautions against this deadly virus, a lot of the information that users were reading was not verified or fact-checked and labeled as "fake news". In the modern world, information is spread very quickly through a variety of social media platforms. Because of this, there was widespread panic even before the COVID-19 virus had even reached India. Many citizens bought an excessive surplus of supplies such as masks, hand sanitizers, and food, which ultimately led to a shortage of these supplies for the 1.3 billion people in this country. The shortage of supplies along with the lockdown process which severely impacted the economy has led to an increase in price to the majority of essential products such as food, hand sanitizers, masks, etc. The most affected were the average day workers. Social media has caused widespread panic and hogging of essential supplies along with false facts of the virus itself, however, there are some things that we have benefited from due to social media. For example, social media has shown us the importance of social distancing and activities that we can do to keep our mental health in check while under lockdown. In short, I believe social media should be regulated and kept under watch by the government in certain aspects when it comes to spreading information about pandemics like covid19. If regulated properly we can avoid mass panic and anarchy and will be able to survive this pandemic as one.

On the one hand, the development of social media can provide convenience to the community, both in communication, in developing science and in the economic aspect. But on the other hand, the development of social media also has a negative impact on society. One of the negative impacts of using social media is that it can cause personality disorders, give birth to narcissistic attitudes and behaviors and can interfere with mental health. This study aims to describe the narcissistic personality disorder, the symptoms of a person experiencing narcissistic personality disorder, efforts to overcome narcissistic personality disorder and the relationship between narcissistic personality and mental health. The method used is a research library. The data collection technique used document study, then analyzed using content analysis. The results of the discussion show that narcissistic personality disorder is basically a personality disorder caused by a person's excessive attitude or behavior in seeing himself. If the narcissistic personality causes disruption of life functions, it will have the potential to disrupt mental health.

The existence of social media that is growing so rapidly that teenagers, especially students, cannot be separated from social media in their daily lives. This is because social media can meet the needs of students, such as communication, existence and information search. Social media itself will certainly have positive and negative impacts. If students are addicted to social media, it can cause mental disorders such as uncontrolled emotions, anxiety, irritability, jealousy, and even losing their self-confidence.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a wide variety of unprecedented challenges, many of which appear to be disproportionately affecting the mental health and well-being of young adults. While there is evidence to suggest university students experience high rates of mental health disorders, less is known about the specific impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on student mental health and how they are coping with this stress. To address this gap, we conducted an online study among undergraduate students (n = 366) to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on academics, social isolation, and mental health, as well as the extent to which they have been implementing a variety of coping strategies. The pandemic had a more pronounced negative effect on female students' academics, social isolation, stress and mental health compared to male counterparts. Moreover, for females, frequent use of social media as a coping mechanism was associated with greater perceived negative impacts on their academic performance and stress levels, compared to males. However, frequent social media use related to similar negative mental health effects for both males and females. While male and female students both reported using substances to cope, for males the use of cannabis was associated with greater negative impacts on academic outcomes, stress and mental health compared to females. These findings highlight the need for adequate student support services across the post-secondary sector, and point to the importance of gender informed interventions to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict national policies regarding social distancing behavior in Europe, America and Australia, people became reliant on social media as a means for gathering information and as a tool for staying connected to family, friends and work. This is the first trans-national study exploring the qualitative experiences and challenges of using social media while in lockdown or shelter-in-place during the current pandemic. Methods: This study was part of a wider cross-sectional online survey conducted in Norway, the UK, USA and Australia during April/May 2020. The manuscript reports on the qualitative free-text component of the study asking about the challenges of social media users during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, USA and Australia. A total of 1991 responses were included in the analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted independently by two researchers. Results: Three overarching themes identified were: Emotional/Mental Health, Information and Being Connected. Participants experienced that using social media during the pandemic amplified anxiety, depression, fear, panic, anger, frustration and loneliness. They felt that there was information overload and social media was full of misleading or polarized opinions which were difficult to switch off. Nonetheless, participants also thought that there was an urge for connection and learning, which was positive and stressful at the same time. Conclusion: Using social media while in a shelter-in-place or lockdown could have a negative impact on the emotional and mental health of some of the population. To support policy and practice in strengthening mental health care in the community, social media could be used to deliver practical advice on coping and stress management. Communication with the public should be strengthened by unambiguous and clear messages and clear communication pathways. We should be looking at alternative ways of staying connected.

  Insight Journal Vol. 7 DOI: 10.24191/ij.v7i1.58 This research study is endeavoured to discover the factors that will lead the consumers’ staying intention at green hotels, especially of those who practise the Shariah Law (Islamic green hotels). Nowadays, there has been an increase in public concern regarding environmental issues. Consumers are more environmentally aware than they were in past decades. Hotels are among the largest contributors of energy consumers in the tertiary building sector, which contribute to some negative impacts to the earth at the same time. The most obvious negative impact of hotels on environment are solid waste generation and disposal. Therefore, numerous consumers are supportive of green consumption and consider it as a successful method to protect the environment. In Islamic green hotels, Muslim-friendly amenities have also been provided to protect Muslims travellers’ welfare that is by providing them a comfortable prayer room, the Holy Quran and Islamic practices booklets, prayer mats and a direction of Qibla. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 256 respondents among the community and tourists in Kuching, Sarawak. The dependent variable in this study was consumers’ staying intention while the independent variables were green image, green satisfaction, Muslim amenities and lifestyle and price fairness. This research study also made use of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software to analyse the result based on the questionnaires distributed to the respondents. Based on the result of analysis, it is shown that the green image and green satisfaction were found of having a positive significant that influence the consumers’ staying intention at the Islamic green hotels. Besides that, Muslim amenities and lifestyle was also found to have a positive significant impact that influences the consumers’ staying intention. Most Muslims were likely to choose a destination with Islamic practice to fulfil their daily duties. However, green price fairness did not significantly influence the consumers’ staying intention. This is because if green image, green satisfaction, Muslim amenities, and lifestyle meet the requirements of the Muslim tourists, they would not be affected by the price. As a matter of fact, price may be the least factor of consideration by the tourists in choosing a hotel to stay.
