Precarity Before and During the Pandemic: International Student Employment and Personal Finances in Australia

Catherine Hastings et al.

Summary: There is increasing evidence of financial and work insecurity among international students in Australia, especially for students from low-income countries, working class families, pursuing lower-level qualifications, enrolled in non-university institutions, and without scholarships. The concepts of noncitizenship and work precarity are used to explain how these characteristics amplify vulnerability.

Mental health over nine months during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic: Representative cross-sectional survey in twelve waves between April and December 2020 in Austria

T. Niederkrotenthaler et al.

Summary: The study found that the negative impacts of the pandemic on population mental health, particularly increases in domestic violence and depressive symptoms to some extent, were most closely related to the timing of strict lockdown measures. Non-traditional risk groups in mental health, such as women, young people, healthcare staff, individuals working from home, and those with Covid-19, warrant heightened attention in prevention efforts during and after the pandemic.

Family support as a protective factor for attitudes toward social distancing and in preserving positive mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic

Shifeng Li et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of family support on attitudes towards social distancing and positive mental health among 1547 Chinese individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicated that perceived support from family members had both direct and indirect effects (through buffering loneliness) on attitudes towards social distancing and positive mental health. These findings suggest that strong family support plays a crucial role in improving individuals' attitudes towards social distancing and maintaining positive mental health during the epidemic.

Psychological impacts from COVID-19 among university students: Risk factors across seven states in the United States

Matthew H. E. M. Browning et al.

Summary: This study found that COVID-19 has varying psychological impacts on university students, with factors such as being female, having fair/poor health, being 18-24 years old, and knowing someone infected with COVID-19 increasing the likelihood of experiencing higher levels of psychological impact. On the other hand, students who were non-Hispanic White, had higher social class, spent more time outdoors, or less time on electronic screens were less likely to experience significant psychological impact.

Summary: This study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, experiences of racism, harassment, and violence against Asian and Black Americans contributed to increased risk of depression and anxiety symptoms, primarily through vicarious racism and vigilance.

Kavita Batra et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis presents evidence on the psychological impact of COVID-19 among college students, revealing high levels of anxiety and depression. College students worldwide bear a disproportionate burden of mental health problems, with females experiencing higher levels of anxiety and depression than males. Public health interventions need to be developed to address the emotional and psychosocial needs of college students, taking into account demographic and socioeconomic differentials.
