ABSTRACT
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a threat to the
student's mental health. This study examined the prevalence of impacts and
identified the factors caused by pandemic on the mental health of student's in the
Philippines exactly on area of Makati City. The focus of this research particularly to
determine the effects or influence of COVID-19 on student’s mental health
conditions during this quarantine and also to evaluate the impact of student’s mental
health during pandemic for their daily living. A total of 21 respondents completed the
online surveys that were gathered from month of March 12 to 17 year of 2020.
Collected data included demographic profiles and health status. The depression,
anxiety and stress scales measured, the impacts and factors of COVID-19. There
essentially are a lot of adjustments needed to really comply and one of them is the
online class, or so they thought. From face-to-face learning, it became an Online
learning system where students very deal with basically many mental conditions and
stress, or so they mostly thought. The changes in their generally daily habits pretty
such as pretty much less interaction with the outside world causing people to feel
isolated, agitated, not motivated, and depressed.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
The research is all about The Impact of Covid-19 on student’s mental health.
The Covid-19 pandemic impacted the lives of each one of us, mostly those students
who have adjusting their selves during this situation. However it is becoming
increasingly that mental health of the students has been particularly affected. Most
importantly students are also facing social isolation and loss of social support
because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mandatory physical distancing measures and
reductions on social gatherings have left many students feeling disconnected from
their home campus where support and services are typically available. Some of the
students struggling with focus on school and avoiding distractions. So it has shown
the symptoms of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts which going to tackle
when we look forward to the topic. It also been tracking how the pandemic is
affecting the mental health and well-being of the students.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in anxiety, depression, and
other mental health issues worldwide. I read with interest the article, “Action Steps
Toward a Culture of Moral Resilience in the Face of COVID-19,” by Gujral et al.
(2020), which appeared in the July 2020 issue of the Journal of Psychosocial
Nursing and Mental Health Services. The authors recommend several interventions
that promote well-being in the face of COVID-19. I'd like to add to Gujral et al.'s
(2020) findings of the moral responsibility of professionals in helping those who are
9|Page

experiencing mental health problems in the context of the pandemic. Institutions
should develop a large-scale support system and intervention hotlines that will cater
to the needs of people who are experiencing anxiety, psychological stress, and
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The World Health Organization (2020) called
upon Southeast Asian countries to pay attention to mental health and suicide
prevention.
In the Philippines, where 200,000 cases of COVID-19 have been reported—
the highest in Southeast Asia—the project HopeLine (access https://www.hopelinenc.org), a suicide prevention and crisis helpline, saw a 200% increase in calls in
April 2020 (Nortajuddin, 2020). The Diocese of Kalookan, for example, has created a
support helpline for people who are experiencing anxiety, psychological stress, and
PTSD (Games, 2020). COVID HopeLine is a phone counseling service of the local
church in the Philippines. The service team is composed of mental health experts,
priests, and counselors who provide medical, psychological, and moral support for
those who are experiencing the psychological impact of COVID-19. Educational
institutions in the Philippines have also taken steps to provide free mental health
counseling services to students, frontline health providers, and those infected with
COVID-19. The De La Salle University, for example, offers telepsychology to those
who are experiencing severe stress, anxiety, and psychological issues brought
about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
10 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant social and psychological effects.
Medical experts, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and counselors,
have a moral responsibility to reduce the effects of a mental health crisis. Medical
experts, nurses, educators, priests, chaplains, and social workers can also aid in the
effort to break the stigma and misconceptions about mental health. Research
studies on mental health, suicide prevention, and the current pandemic are needed.
Indeed, we need to act collectively to fight the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
a. To evaluate the student’s mental health.
b. To propose a program for student’s mental health.
11 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
c. To determine what their mental health conditions during the Covid-19
pandemic.
1.3 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Denny Borboom (2017) Network theory holds that this is a general feature of
mental disorders, which can therefore be understood as alternative stable states of
strongly connected symptom networks. This idea naturally leads to a comprehensive
model of psychopathology, encompassing a common explanatory model for mental
disorders, as well as novel definitions of associated concepts such as mental health,
resilience, vulnerability and liability. Also, the network theory has direct implications
for how to understand the diagnosis and treatment, and suggests a clear agenda for
future research in psychiatry and associated disciplines.
Lisa A. Kurt-Butler (2017) Social support theory was based constructs could
be utilized in developing and implementing interventions in preventing and promoting
mental health in COVID-19 affected individual and guides us in managing and
coping with these mental health conditions. Social support protects people from the
bad health effects of stressful events.

1.8 Significance of the Study
This study is of great benefit for the following stakeholders:
Students - the students will benefit from this study because they will know
the negative impact of mental health problems on their academic performance and
everyday life. The students should be mindful of things that mental health issues can
do to them in this study.
Teachers and administrators - teachers and administrators will also benefit
from this research so they would be able to understand the changes in the actions,
perception of life, and academic performance of students who have been involved in
mental health issues so that they can easily cope with the attitude of the students.
Parents - parents understand the possibility of mental health issues so that
they can help prevent their child from having these mental health problems and
avoid them. Also this study will assist parents so that they would consider the impact
on their child of mental health issues.
Future Researcher - this research would be beneficial to the future
researcher because they can get some information that might needed in their
research and some of their question may possibly be answered by this research.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
2.1 Review of related literature
This sections aims to highlight articles, blogs, newspapers clips and excerpts
that are related to the impact of COVID-19 on the student’s mental health conditions.
This part of the study shows different perspectives of the authors, works and studies
towards to their specific topic that they were studying or researching.
Foreign
Related newspaper article of (Gupta, 2021) shows that the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic has caused the mental health of U.S. college students to
plummet. The researchers report on January 7 in PLOS ONE said that the students
most at risk of when it come to mental health challenges stemming from the
pandemic which includes women, Asians, students under age 25, those in poor
health, those who knew somebody with COVID-19 and lower-income students.
Matthew Browning who is a environmental psychologist at Clemson University in
South Carolina said that even before the emergence of the novel coronavirus, U.S.
college students struggled with depression, anxiety and other mental health
disorders at higher rates than the general population. Many of the college students
are grappling with a new social environment, struggling to figure out their careers
and worrying about finances. Browning and her colleagues surveyed more than
21 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
2,500 students to assess how the pandemic is impacting student mental health from
seven public universities across the United States last spring when the pandemic
was ramping up. Study participants ranked statements about their emotional state,
preoccupation with COVID-19, stress and time use. Based on total scores,
researchers classified the students as having experienced high, moderate or low
levels of emotional distress and worry. The researchers note that they did not use
standardized screening tools for disorders such as anxiety and depression, but
instead zoomed in on mental health stressors arising directly from the pandemic.
About 85 percent of the students surveyed experienced high to moderate levels of
distress and Browning’s team found that about 45% were highly impacted and about
40% were moderately impacted. Those who reported low levels of distress were
more likely to be white and spend two or more hours outdoors. Certain factors put
some students at greater risk of feeling highly distressed. Women were twice as
likely to fall into that group, versus the moderate or low groups, while Asians were
30% more likely. Spending eight or more hours in front of computer, smartphone or
television screens also increased risk. Colleges and universities must meet students’
basic safety and psychological needs before true learning can occur, Browning said
that they need to address students’ mental well-being before they think about the
best way to deliver online classes during COVID (Gupta, 2021).
Related newspaper article of (Andrew, 2020) shows that it prompted by rising
reports of student distress and suicide, universities are becoming increasingly
22 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
responsive to the mental health and well-being needs of their students. But the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the day-to-day experiences of international
students calls for immediate, whole-of-university action that is proactive, visible and
accessible. Most international students transition into university at a time of life when
they are also transitioning to adulthood, a period associated with greater than
average levels of anxiety and mood disorders. To be successful, they must manage
disparate academic, social and cultural expectations and integrate into unfamiliar
communities, while assuming financial independence and personal responsibility.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents a plethora of additional challenges to
international students that exacerbate their vulnerability to mental health issues and
simultaneously isolate them from potentially vital support mechanisms (Andrew,
2020).
COVID-19 is having a major influence on international students’ financial
security. The scarcity of casual work has left many unable to meet accommodation
and day-to-day living costs. The ramifications of financial insecurity on international
student mental health can be profound. In this environment, the cost of repeating
units of study intensifies the pressure to achieve a pass mark and heightens despair
when students fail. Financial desperation and a poor knowledge of relevant
regulations leave international students prone to exploitation by unscrupulous
employers and landlords. Most concerningly, financial stress is directly associated
with international student suicide. The fate of loved ones at home is a further,
ongoing source of stress. At the time of writing, the almost exponential rise in
23 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
COVID-19 cases and associated deaths in India are a source of distress among the
second largest international student group of many OECD countries. Meanwhile,
Chinese students, the most populous international student group in the United
Kingdom, United States and Australia, face increased incidences of racism and
hostility in the latter two countries as their host nations’ leaders place blame for the
pandemic on China’s shoulders (Andrew, 2020).
Although more prone to mental health problems, young adults are less likely to seek
mental health support than younger and older age groups. For some international
students, the stigma and shame associated with mental health further reduces the
likelihood of help-seeking behavior. In addition, the facilitation of help-seeking
behavior must be complemented by the responsiveness and quality of available
support services. University mental health staff require an understanding of the
different cultural influences on their students’ mental health, including stigma, shame
and power relationships. Ideally, the cultural diversity of university counsellors will
reflect those of their students. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its global surge
and resurgence, higher education must step up to meet its duty of care to its
increasingly vulnerable international student population (Andrew, 2020).

In relation on newspaper article of (Esguerra, 2020) shows that some of the
3.6 million Filipinos are suffering from mental disorders amid the coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) pandemic, according to a Department of Health (DOH) survey.
The survey, which was presented by DOH National Mental Health Program head
24 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
Frances Prescila Cuevas in a recent online press briefing, showed that at least 3.6
million Filipinos are suffering from any form of mental, neurological, and substance
use disorders. The DOH official said the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has affected
the mental health of Filipinos, citing an “alarming spike of calls” on the National
Center for Mental Health’s (NCMH) hotline. The NCMH’s Crisis Hotline receives an
average of 32 to 37 calls a day from March 17 to Oct. 6, raising the monthly average
calls to 907. Of these calls, an average of 53 monthly calls are suicide-related calls.
Cuevas said that compared to data from 2019, the daily and monthly average calls
increased by around 50%. The top three reasons for calling are anxiety-related
concerns, asking for a referral to a psychiatrist, and inquiry regarding hospital
services (Esguerra, 2020).
Related newspaper article of (Santiago, 2020) shows that a Department of Health
(DOH) official in Region 9(Zamboanga City) warned that the coronavirus disease
2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has brought another health crisis that is now affecting
many Filipinos. Dr. Joshua Brillantes, DOH-9 assistant director, said Wednesday
that losses in jobs and livelihood have affected mental health, leading to widespread
psychological trauma, fear, depression, and even suicides (Santiago, 2020).
Brillantes said that this was important especially this time because there is Covid-19
where there are a lot of Filipinos who lost their jobs. These financial problems will
lead to psychological stress and mental health problems. Brillantes emphasized the
need for affected individuals to be open with their problems and seek guidance from
25 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
experts to help them cope with and face the problem. Brillantes’ warning came about
as the country observed “Mental Health Week” from October 5 to 11. Brillantes also
said that their office is very much willing to provide counseling and guidance to
anybody whose mental health is affected by the pandemic. He also dropped the
hotline call them (062)9830933 and the cellphone no. 09750741340. He expressed
worry about the sufferings being experienced by those affected and are still
untreated. He said the latest studies indicated that the Covid-19 pandemic is
associated with distress, anxiety, fear of contagion, depression, and insomnia in the
general population and among health care professionals. Brillantes said that the
Covid-19 crisis may increase suicide rates during and after the pandemic,
underscoring the importance of traditional and social media campaigns to promote
mental health and reduce distress (Santiago, 2020).
Review of related studies

Foreign
Related study of (Nicholas et al., 2020) shows the global development of the
coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, the psychological issues which
accompany this pandemic have rapidly compounded its public health burden.
26 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
Emerging research assessing the mental health implications of COVID-19 has
identified a heightened prevalence of moderate-to-severe self-reported depressive
and anxious symptomatology among the general public, reflecting the widespread
effects of uncertainty and health-related fears. However, further research that
investigates beyond the population level is required to understand the individualized
disruption of lives and routines as a result of COVID-19, and its associated
psychological impacts (Nicholas et al., 2020).
For college students, heightened levels of psychological distress and
downstream negative academic consequences are prevalent under normal
circumstances (American College Health Association, 2019). As a result of physical
distancing measures implemented in response to COVID-19, tertiary education
institutions have shifted to an emergency online learning format, which would be
expected to further exacerbate academic stressors for students. Based on insights
from research examining the impact of academic disruptions on students (Wickens,
2011), it is reasonable to venture that students may experience reduced motivation
toward studies, increased pressures to learn independently, abandonment of daily
routines, and potentially higher rates of dropout as direct consequences of these
measures. Thus, by increasing academic stressors in a population with heightened
pre-existing stress levels and a potentially reduced ability to rely on typical coping
strategies – such as family who themselves may be experiencing heightened
distress – the COVID-19 pandemic has placed an unprecedented mental health
27 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
burden on students, which urgently requires further examination and immediate
intervention (Nicholas et al., 2020).
Related to a study by (Labrouge, et al., 2020) young people such as college
students are particularly vulnerable to the adverse mental and psychological health
consequences of the stay-at-home orders or lockdown measures, as they pose a
potential threat to their physical, mental and emotional health as well as their
educational and developmental progress (Singh et al., 2020). Evidence has shown
significant increases in the prevalence of mental issues such as anxiety, depression,
and psychological distress (Husky et al., 2020; Al Omari et al., 2020) and symptoms
of physical exhaustion, including tiredness, headaches, insomnia, fatigue and
muscle pain (Branquinho et al., 2020; Majumdar et al., 2020), in young people
during the mandatory lockdown period. Hence, measures should be implemented to
better support young people during the pandemic in order to reduce the ill effects of
the lockdown on their mental, psychological and physiological well-being (Nicholas
et al., 2020).
After studying the respondents COVID-19 had a great impact to the mental
health conditions of students. This research is one of the earliest to examine
loneliness among college students during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,
although several studies assessing loneliness among young adolescents before the
COVID-19 pandemic were found. This study suggests that disease control measures
(e.g., mandatory lockdown and social distancing) to contain the virus have increased
28 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
the levels of loneliness, particularly in younger and female students. Further,
students who had higher levels of personal resilience and coping behaviors, and
those who perceive greater social support, reported a lower level of loneliness
(Nicholas et al., 2020).
Local
Relation on the conclusion and recommendations of (Baloran, 2020) study,
the COVID-19 pandemic posed significant concerns among students, especially
among communities in the Southern Philippines. Based on the findings of this study,
the students were aware of the COVID-19 pandemic and possessed sufficient
knowledge about this global concern even though there were still gaps in various
points. Students understood how the virus is spread, its symptoms, and the
precautionary measures needed to be done by both individuals and the general
community. They also professed the need to conduct mass testing and maintain
enhanced community quarantine in every local community. Considering WHO’s
recommendation, students
abide by the idea toward the COVID-19 vaccine,
although a considerable percentage of some students showed distrust. In the
context of education, students were reluctant toward the implementation of onlineblended learning approach due to technological and financial constraints. During
this COVID-19 pandemic, students were responsive and satisfied with the
government’s initiatives to limit the spread of infection. Though there was increased
anxiety felt by students regarding getting the COVID-19 infection, there is still
29 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
enough evidence that students among two local colleges in Southern Philippines
practice measures to deal with anxiety during this threat of global health security. In
the future, HEIs should strengthen its plans on management strategies concerning
outbreaks and pandemics, which may affect local communities. HEIs should
also develop an innovative and helpful approach to promote and address the mental
health issues of students during a pandemic. More importantly, though the
Philippines is still at the stage of embracing the paradigm shift in pedagogical
delivery, schools should start training students and teachers on the application of
online-blended learning approach and improve Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) resources and capacities of both teachers and students. The
government subsidy and educational support in the future should include
capacitating Filipino learners in using online tools considering health challenges like
this or other community emergencies during any future. It shows here that many of
the students around the communities in the Southern Philippines participated the
survey had experienced this mental health conditions (Baloran, 2020).
The relation study of (Tee, et al., 2020) was all about the 2019 coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a threat to societies’ mental health. This study
examined the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and identified the factors
contributing to psychological impact in the Philippines (Tee, et al., 2020).
The result shows that during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in
the Philippines, one-fourth of the respondents reported moderate-to-severe anxiety;
30 | P a g e
ACLC GUADALUPE MAKATI
one-seventh reported moderate-to severe stress levels and one-sixth reported
moderate-to-severe depression and psychological impact of the outbreak. Female
gender, youth age of 12-21 years, single status, students, presence of specific
physical symptoms (1.e., headache, cough, chills), recent imposed quarantine by a
health authority, prolonged stay at home, poor self reported health status, feeling of
too much unnecessary worry has been made about COVID-19, concerns about
family members getting sick, and feeling of being discriminated by other countries
were associated with a greater psychological impact of the pandemic and higher
levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Timely and accurate health information,
having children older than 16 years old, perception of good health status and
confidence in their own health care providers were associated with lesser
psychological impact of the pandemic and lower levels of stress, anxiety and
depression. The findings of this study can be used to frame appropriate
psychological interventions to avert occurrence of mental health problems
preventing psychological crisis. This study shows the respondents also experienced
the mental health conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic (Tee, et al., 2020).

2.2 Overall Synthesis
Literatures and certain studies have supported the researcher's topic and will
help to prove that COVID-19 has a huge impact on the student’s mental health
conditions around the world. The percentage of mental health conditions are
increasing because of the effect of the pandemic to their daily living. Making
governments, parents, administrators and students to be aware of what mental
health conditions can do and to have sufficient knowledge about the global
problems. Also to understand the symptoms, precautionary measures to apply and
how the virus rapidly spreads nationwide.
Giving information to the students on how the COVID-19 virus affected the
mental health of other people around the world. And also they will know the current
issues, events and current level of pandemic worldwide. Need them to realize about
this current pandemic that is happening around the world to be more productive
every day and strength to facing the struggles that they are experiencing right now.
Doing something to be more productive and keep doing what they do so that they
will not worry about what is happening around the world.
Programs that the government assesses to decrease the percentage of
students that were experiencing and facing the mental health conditions. Hotlines
and cellphone numbers the government had given and provided to seek help when
the mental health conditions occurred. Seeing the effectiveness of online-blended
learning or this current way how the students study in their homes.

are many reasonable concerns to consider perhaps the most important

5.2 Conclusion
COVID-19 pandemic actually has been kind of ill from many aspects of
people’s lives. In the midst of a pandemic, the research proofs that it
actually has a pretty much greater impact on their mental health
condition, or so they generally thought. There essentially are a lot of
adjustments needed to really comply and one of them is the online
class, or so they thought. From face-to-face learning, it became an
Online learning system where students very deal with basically many
mental conditions and stress, or so they mostly thought. The changes in
their generally daily habits pretty such as pretty much less interaction
with the outside world causing people to feel isolated, agitated, not
motivated, and depressed. Thus, much exposure to different kinds of
online activities affects their mental health and behavior in a particularly
big way. In addition, students don’t have enough actually sleep because
of overload requirements in school, which kind of is fairly significant.
Moreover, the suicidal rate grows because of the rapid increment in
people experiencing domestic violence inside their household.

specialists on how to overcome this kind of issues. This proposed
programs will assist them in monitoring and improving their mental
health conditions:

negative dimensions of pandemic-induced psychological stress. The
goal of the online meditation program was to improve both the negative
and positive aspects of mental health, as well as stress-related
behavioral outcomes. This mental health condition affects a large
number of people in many different parts of the Philippines. As a result,
this program assists them in overcoming and controlling the issues they
have faced.
