Abstract
Covid-19 pandemic has an impact to the changing educational system, raising the mental health issues, including college students’ psychology. This study explores demographic and knowledge about Covid-19 associated with college student’s depression, anxiety, and stress in online classes during outbreak. We undertook a cross-sectional study by using questionnaires to explore demographic characteristics and knowledge about Covid-19 among college students during the online classes. Mental health was assessed using DASS-42. The logistic regression used to investigate the association between demographic characteristics and knowledge about Covid-19 with mental health among college students. The prevalence of depression among 599 college students was 27.5%, meanwhile the prevalence of anxiety and stress were 44.6% and 21.29%, respectively. Based on the logistic regression, being in second year (OR = .43), having friends who got infected with Covid-19 (OR=.36), and feeling worried for delaying school (OR=.40) was significantly negatively correlated with depression, whereas having difficulties in adaptation of online class (OR=1.78) was significantly positively correlated with depression. The early identification of depression, anxiety, and stress among college students is pivotal and relevant related factors should be considered when developing preventive programs, particularly during online classes.
