 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Covid-19 has seemingly impacted almost all areas of our lives. Universities have seen

their daily life dramatically changed by the pandemic. As a students had experienced serious

in their education. The impact of covid-19 on students’ life has been huge, especially for

those at university. Whilst we can be hopeful that things may have returned to normal by the

time the autumn comes around. May be wondering how covid-19 has, and potentially will,

impact university life. Co-vid has not just impacts students’ social lives but also their

education.

Most of students, and experience learning has been largely moved to online. Lecturers

and teaching staff have had to grapple with zoom, teams, and lecture recording. Then there’s

the issue with access to resources. Libraries for the most part have been closed over the last

year, and continue to remain shut. Whilst there were brief intermissions between lockdowns,

even then, limitations on library spaces, how many books you could take out etc., were still in

place. Unfortunately for those who were hoping to regain some sense of normality this year,

mutations and new variants have put firm dampeners on any hopes of restrictions easing as

rates of transmission have increased. Universities across the country have remained mindful
2
of this, and no doubt will continue to do so over the next few months as they prepare for entry

later this year.

School provides structure and routine to the lives of students. Following the routine of

getting up at a certain time, going to classes at specific times and coming home at a certain

time provides a sense of normalcy in their lives. The predictability of knowing that third

period math class follows second period history class allows students’ brains to focus on

academic content. Expectations for behaviour and academic performance are known and

familiar. When schools closed from the past year students lost this structure and routine.

Many of us were sent home with packets of assignments to complete but it is up to

them to decide when and in what order they will do the assignments. At first, this greater

amount of freedom and choice feels good. In short time though, it is easy to fall behind. For

most students school isn’t just about academics, it is also about social interactions. Many

friendships started by sitting next to each other in class. The highlight of a student’s day

might be walking down a certain hallway between fifth and sixth period because that’s when

she can't reliably expect to see the person she has a crush on. Groups of friends eat lunch

together every day. Through their interactions with teachers and other school personnel

young people learn to interact with non-family authority figures. In the hallways and

3
classrooms of their school, young people are exposed to a variety of different cultures,

perspectives and ways of living that may be different than their own. Extracurricular

activities were also affected by school closures. Many students enjoy participating in sports,

music, school plays, robotics and a variety of other activities. Participation in these activities

helps students to be more attractive applicants to colleges, universities and future employers.

More importantly though, participation in these activities is an important part of students’

identities. They provide a “tribe” of others with whom a common interest and skill set is

shared.

 CHAPTER II

RELATED LITERATURE

IMPORTANCE OF THE REVIEW

According to the Chinese, when news of an epidemic began to spread in their city in

early 2020, no one anticipated the scope of the epidemic for the entire world in a very short

period. From Wuhan (China) to New York (USA) through Africa, South America, Asia, and

Europe, the new coronavirus, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or severe acute

respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has paralyzed, to a greater or lesser

extent, the life in many countries, causing thousands of deaths and about 6 million infections.

For these reasons, the scientific community is on the alert by conducting studies on the virus,

the disease it produces, the situation it creates, and the population it attacks, from different

perspectives, including systematic reviews of the literature, such as the one presented in this

paper.

According to scientists who study the pandemic, biologists, doctors, and humanists,

educators are obliged to care for the psychological and emotional health, as well as cultivate

the minds, of children. The consequences of the containment measures of COVID-19 are

8
being detrimental to the mental health of people around the world. It is logical that the most

vulnerable are children who do not understand what is happening and who, along with the

concern and frustration of their elders, may present risk factors, such as anxiety and affective

and post-traumatic stress disorders (Giallonardo et al., 2020). However, not only minors are

affected.

According to Roy et al. (2020), more than 80% of people over 18 have shown the need

for attention to their mental health as a result of the anxiety and stress experienced during the

pandemic (Forte et al).

On December 31, 2019, the China Health Authority alerted the World Health

Organization (WHO) to several cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan City in

Hubei Province in central China. The cases had been reported since December 8, 2019, and

many patients worked at or lived around the local Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market

although other early cases had no exposure to this market. On January 7, a novel coronavirus,

originally abbreviated as 2019-nCoV by WHO, was identified from the throat swab sample of

a patient. This pathogen was later renamed as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus

2 (SARS-CoV-2) by the Coronavirus Study Group and the disease was named coronavirus

disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the WHO. As of January 30, 7736 confirmed and 12,167

9
suspected cases had been reported in China and 82 confirmed cases had been detected in 18

other countries. In the same day, WHO declared the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak as a Public

Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEI)

According to the National Health Commission of China, the mortality rate among confirmed

cased in China was 2.1% as of February 4 and the mortality rate was 0.2% among cases

outside China. Among patients admitted to hospitals, the mortality rate ranged between 11%

and 15%. COVID-19 is moderately infectious with a relatively high mortality rate, but the

information available in public reports and published literature is rapidly increasing. The aim

of this review is to summarize the current understanding of COVID-19 including causative

agent, pathogenesis of the disease, diagnosis and treatment of the cases, as well as control and

prevention strategies.

SARS-CoV-2 is a member of the family Coronaviridae and order Nidovirales. The family

consists of two subfamilies, Coronavirinae and Torovirinae and members of the subfamily

Coronavirinae are subdivided into four genera: (a) Alphacoronavirus contains the human

coronavirus (HCoV)-229E and HCoV-NL63; (b) Betacoronavirus includes HCoV-OC43,

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome human coronavirus (SARS-HCoV), HCoV-HKU1, and

Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV); (c) Gamma coronavirus

10
includes viruses of whales and birds and; (d) Delta coronavirus includes viruses isolated from

pigs and birds. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to Beta coronavirus together with two highly

pathogenic viruses, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped and positive-

sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) virus.

SARS-CoV-2 is considered a novel human-infecting Beta coronavirus. Phylogenetic analysis

of the SARS-CoV-2 genome indicates that the virus is closely related (with 88% identity) to

two bat-derived SARS-like coronaviruses collected in 2018 in eastern China (bat-SL-

CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21) and genetically distinct from SARS-CoV (with about

79% similarity) and MERS-CoV. Using the genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2, RaTG13,

and SARS-CoV, a further study found that the virus is more related to BatCoV RaTG13, a

bat coronavirus that was previously detected in Rhinolophus affinis from Yunnan Province,

with 96.2% overall genome sequence identity. A study found that no evidence of

recombination events detected in the genome of SARS-CoV-2 from other viruses originating

from bats such as BatCoV RaTG13, SARS-CoV and SARSr-CoVs. All together, these

findings suggest that bats might be the original host of this virus.

However, a study is needed to elucidate whether any intermediate hosts have facilitated the

transmission of the virus to humans. Bats are unlikely to be the animal that is directly

11
responsible for transmission of the virus to humans for several reasons, there were various

non-aquatic animals (including mammals) available for purchase in Huanan Seafood

Wholesale Market but no bats were sold or found; SARS-CoV-2 and its close relatives, bat-

SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21, have a relatively long branch (sequence identity of

less than 90%), suggesting those viruses are not direct ancestors of SARS-CoV-2; and in

other coronaviruses where bat is the natural reservoir such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV,

other animals have acted as the intermediate host (civets and possibly camels, respectively).

Nevertheless, bats do not always need an intermediary host to transmit viruses to humans. For

example, Nipah virus in Bangladesh is transmitted through bats shedding into raw date palm

sap.

According to Bhutan, the impact is far reaching and has affected learning during this

academic year or even more in the coming days. Several schools, colleges and universities

have discontinued face-to-face teaching. There is a pressing need to innovate and implement

alternative educational and assessment strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us

with an opportunity to pave the way for introducing digital learning (Dhawan, 2020).

12
RELATED STUDIES

A large number of studies support that the conclusion that the novel coronavirus

(SARS-CoV-2) and its corresponding disease (COVID-19) have dramatically impacted

people’s mental health and behaviour, with very few studies suggesting otherwise. Mental

health hotlines in the United States experienced 100% increases during the month of April,

when most people were under lockdown because of the pandemic. Some medical facilities

have seen more deaths from suicide, presumably because of exceedingly poor mental health,

than from COVID-19 infections. Substance disorders in many people who were previously

abstinent are expected to relapse during COVID-19, which will cause long-term economic

and health impacts. Although impacts are felt across populations and especially in socially-

disadvantaged communities and individuals employed as essential workers—college students

are among the most strongly affected by COVID-19 because of uncertainty regarding

academic success, future careers, and social life during college, amongst other concerns.

Even before the pandemic, students across the globe experienced increasing levels of

anxiety, depressive moods, and lack of self-esteem, psychosomatic problems, substance

abuse, and sociality. Therefore, students may need additional resources and services to deal

with the physical and mental health repercussions of the disease. University administrators

could best serve students if they better understood the impacts of COVID-19 and the risk

13
factors of its psychological impacts. These impacts are of critical importance to warrant

immediate mental health interventions focused on prevention and treatment. Psychiatric and

counselling services have historically been underutilized by college students. Understanding

what subpopulations may suffer from unique combinations of psychological impacts may

facilitate targeted interventions and successful treatment and coping strategies for individuals

at greatest risk. A recent review highlights some of the documented psychological impacts of

COVID-19 on college students. Many feel increased stress levels and anxiety and depressive

symptoms as a result of changed delivery and uncertainty of university education,

technological concerns of online courses, being far from home, social isolation, decreased

family income, and future employment. These impacts have been observed in universities

across the world. Studies of the psychological impacts of COVID-19 on college studies in the

United States, however, have been limited in their generalizability due to examination of

single institutions only. We are aware of no studies that have been conducted with college

students at multiple institutions across the United States during the pandemic. These schools

collectively represent a somewhat unique context within higher education.

The United States educates large numbers of students from around the world. Diverse student

bodies may show different risk factors from more culturally-homogenous student bodies

because of the diversity of value orientations and sources of media consumption. Further,

colleges in the United States cost more than higher education institutions nearly anywhere
14
else in the world therefore, financial concerns may be particularly apparent in the United

States. The United States also experienced the lowest global recovery rate from infection–in

other words, the highest mortality rate post-infection–in the weeks leading up to the timing of

the current study (April and May, 2020). This country continues to witness the highest

incidence and mortality rates among Global North countries. Such high rates aggravate the

psychological impacts of the disease on infected and non-infected individuals. In the current

study, we investigate the psychological impacts of COVID-19 and associated risk factors on

college students at seven universities across the United States. Our objectives are three-fold:

1) identify the array of psychological impacts COVID-19 has on students, 2) develop profiles

to characterize students’ anticipated levels of psychological impact during the pandemic, and

3) evaluate potential socio demographic, lifestyle-related, and awareness of people infected

with COVID-19 risk factors that could make students more likely to experience these

impacts. The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 has become a real hazard and affects

many sectors, one of them is education. The high number of new cases has made several

countries to implement lockdown and quarantine policies. This policy caused several schools

and universities to be closed to break the chain of transmission. Besides, the indirect effect of

COVID19 is the mental disorder of the society, including students, that is getting worse.

Mental disorder has become a growing health problem and requires more attention. This

study aimed to explore the risk factors affecting students’ mental disorder at the period of the

COVID19 pandemic based on the previously performed research from published journals.

15
Discussion: Of the 394 literature that has been searched in PubMed and Science Direct, by

entering the keywords of coronavirus, mental disorder, education, and universities, it obtained

7 articles in accordance with inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this study included

articles published in 2019 and 2020, articles categorized as original research articles, articles

written in English, and articles discussed mental disorder in students since the COVID19

pandemic. The results of the study showed that in countries with quite high COVID19 cases,

the risk factors affecting students’ health were news about new case rates, mortality rates, and

COVID19 cure rates. Conclusion: Mental disorder disorders experienced by students during

the pandemic were anxiety, stress, and depression. For further research, it is expected to

provide recommendations for activities that can prevent students’ mental disorder to not

worse during the pandemic. The on-going COVID-19 crisis in the United States is a disaster

event—a sudden event that causes great damage or loss of life. The COVID-19 crisis poses

risks to college students’ physical health (Murphy, 20201).

To mitigate this threat, institutions of higher education across the United States rapidly

transitioned to remote classes at the onset of COVID-19 in March 2020 (Mervosh & Swales,

20202).

16
The COVID-19 disaster poses risks to college students that extend far beyond physical health

risks, however. Disasters cause financial and psychological stress and disrupt social support

networks (Bonanno et al., 20063; Self-Brown et al., 20134).

These consequences are all risk factors for dropping out of college (Bruffaerts et al., 20185;

Rowan-Kenyon et al., 20176; Stewart et al., 20157).

When college students are able to complete their degrees during a disaster, it has enormous

economic and public health benefits. Students who complete their degrees earn more, are

healthier and happier, and have greater confidence (Arnett, 20138; Heckler, 20189;

Leonhardt & Chinoy, 201910).

There are two critical barriers that limit progress in helping college students complete their

degrees when faced with disasters like COVID-19. First, there is a lack of empirical

knowledge about the impacts of disasters on college students. A large body of evidence

shows that disasters have significant impacts on institutions of higher education in terms of

educational disruption and structural failure (e.g., damage to school buildings). This work

highlights the importance of institutions of higher education and schools as critical

infrastructure, socioeconomic infrastructure, physical capital, and lifelines (Bach et al.,

201311; Cutter et al., 201012; Peacock, 201013; Rifai, 201214).

17
 Although extremely important, this work focuses on the emergency management of

institutions of higher education and does not provide insight into how to support the recovery

of college students after disasters. Taken together, these gaps in research hinder the

identification of effective strategies to respond to college student needs during disasters. The

COVID-19 crisis has presented us with a critical opportunity to collect perishable data on

college student and faculty responses to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. In this

study, we collected, and are currently analysing, a rich array of quantitative and qualitative

data. Our long-term goal is to create innovative, evidence-informed pedagogical tools to help

stakeholders prepare for disasters in advance, thus minimizing the effects of future disasters

on college students.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

The research method to be used, the respondents, the research instrument, the

data gathering procedure, and statistical treatment of data are presented in this chapter. Each

part of this chapter is thought to be essential by the researcher in completing this research

work.

This study is used to classify and construct statistical models as an attempt to explain

what is observed. Through this, the study would be exact and precise that would help the

researchers create a better understanding of the collected data. Using this type of research

study, it will obtain numerical values and data which are presented in a form of tabular. These

data would interest and analyse. The researcher used the type of probability style sampling

which is the quota sampling. Also, one method that was used in gathering information is the

interview.

This study used descriptive research design for qualitative research in gathering a brief

and accurate statistical and descriptive data to determine the level of awareness in risks and

24
hazards of Covid 19 affecting college students in Electrical technology. The research used a

survey in process of gathering quantifiable data interpretation in study being conducted.

THE RESPONDENTS

This study used quota sampling and interview in choosing the respondents of 30 by

using random sampling. The respondents of this research consisted of Risks and hazard of

Covid 19 in College students of electrical technology in Sorsogon State University.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The main instrument used in this study is survey questionnaire which provided

necessary data to become the basis for the researcher’s findings, conclusion and

recommendation. The questionnaires were one part. By having the questionnaires, the

researchers must have tally sheets to gain a general and basis organization of the collected

data.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

The researchers have an interview first to the family of possible respondents as an

initial step in gathering data for the research. After knowing risks and hazards of covid-19 in

college students of electrical technology the survey questionnaire was distributed to them.

This survey questionnaire was planned to be used for this study. The survey questionnaire

was about the respondents’ level of awareness of risk and hazard of college students in

25
electrical technology. The researchers also ask approval from the school of principals in

Sorsogon State University. It was given to them before researchers distribute the

questionnaire to the respondents.

After distributing the questionnaire, the researchers retrieved its recorded tallied,

tabulated it and used basic statistical trot to analyse and interpret the gathered data. The

results of the gathered data were compiled in the conclusion, findings and recommendation.

The researchers have their assigned task in order to finish the draft to be presented to the

adviser for rechecking and for it to be finalized.

VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY IN RESEARCH

This research focuses explicitly on the validity and reliability of the study.The

instruments used to measure if the data gathered are valid and reliable are based on the survey

results of the participants. The survey questionnaire contains the biographical profile of the

students giving emphasis to the respondents’ ages, gender, and courses, the possible effect of

covid-19 in the students’ performance, and the possible risks and hazards to the Electrical

Students of the University. To insure validity, the researchers will conduct a random

sampling for all Electrical Students form 1st year to 4th year of Sorsogon State University.

Thirty (30) random students will be selected as respondents. The study includes the parents of

the participants as respondents to show consistency. Parents will be given survey

26
questionnaires based on what perceptions they observed in the students while in an online

class setup. Through this, the researchers would be able to give light to different

consideration to be done in the risks and hazards that the pandemic affection the students of

the said institution. The research findings will be a great help for the future researches of the

same circumstances.

STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

For this research study to read, a successive outcome the researchers used as the

research design descriptive form, the statistical data. Descriptive statistics are numbers that

are quantitatively summarize and describe the salient feature of a collection of data and

information’s through this form of research design, it would help the researchers to fully

understand, analyse and interpret the features of specific data set giving short description

summarize about the sample and numerical data.

The methods that are to be used for the statistical treatment of data are by means of

means of given quota, and an interview. First, the researchers organized and identified the

entire tallied questionnaire answered by the respondents. This was done to determine the

corresponding respondents.
