Student burnout is a concept born out of the occupational syndrome of working adults. In the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and shift of learning from face-to-face to online, people have experienced mental health issues in terms of burnout, especially among college students. With no mental health program in place in many higher education institutions, there is a need to find out students' burnout risks and status. This study used a modified survey questionnaire from the American Public Welfare Association to determine the burnout risks of the 245 student participants of a university in the northern Philippines. Results showed that the participants have moderate to high risks for burnout, especially the female students. These students already need interventional measures to combat their present mental health problems. It is thus recommended that future researchers be done on burnout that studies the different student constructs of burnout to formulate a more comprehensive mental...

This research study aims to assess the Academic Challenges and Psychological Distress of selected college students from Emilio Aguinaldo College-Manila. Researchers relate to such a topic because it covers their experiences regarding the challenges they have experienced first-hand. This study will also emphasize a perspective of students' stressors that could potentialize distress towards online education. This research study utilized a correlational design with a self-made online questionnaire to assess the challenges and distress of college students. Two hundred thirty-seven participants voluntarily joined the online survey. The respondents were college students from the School of Arts, Sciences, and Teacher Education. The researchers used a controlled quota sampling to determine the ideal population and sample size. The results of the study indicated that online learning did not challenge students academically since they were technologically literate. But facilitating online learning was indeed a challenge for them due to distractions and internet connectivity. Consequently, the students' distress was caused by academic stress and burnout. Additionally, lack of motivation and fear of being academically delayed also aggravate further stress. The findings of this study support the need for educational institutions to provide special attention and intervention due to increasing stress associated with online learning.

Students’ burnout is an emerging research interest over the past few years. Burnout negatively influenced the psychological, physiological, social, and academic functioning and performances of students. The emergence of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has increased the mental health challenges of students. The current study examined the correlation between burnout and psychological wellbeing among the college students of South India, who are adapting to the virtual learning environment, behavioral changes in socialization, and are faced with varied uncertainties during the ongoing pandemic situation. The current study employed a predictive correlational research design in exploring the association between burnout and psychological well-being among 521 sampled students gathered through purposive sampling. Study Burnout Inventory (SBI) and Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Well-being (RSPW) scales were utilized to collect the research data. Results of the study showed that there is a significant negative correlation between burnout and the psychological well-being of college students with a p-value (0.00) (R = -.896). The examination of the possible predictive effects of the experience of burnout on psychological well-being (R2= .803) revealed that the higher experience of burnout leads to the lower psychological well-being of college students.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on students' mental health. Monitoring and managing the students' wellbeing during a crisis such as this pandemic is a priority. In this study, the researchers' main objective is to determine the relationship between perceived stress and the mental health of selected college online students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 307 college online students served as the respondents to this research, where two instruments were used: (a) Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), which measured Perceived Stress; and (b) Mental Health Inventory-18 (MHI), which assessed the respondents' Mental Health. The researchers utilized statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson r correlation to analyze the data. It was also found out that perceived stress and mental health have a significant negative relationship, implying that the higher the students' perceived stress, the lower their mental health and vice-versa. Moreover, the respondents have low anxiety levels and moderate degrees for depression, behavioral control, and positive affect, respectively. Furthermore, the study revealed that a higher percentage of stress has a lesser influence on one's positive affect than anxiety, depression, and behavioral control. Therefore, it suggests that high behavioral control is an important factor in students' healthy mental state in this time of the pandemic. Finally, the gathered information may also serve as a basis for developing students' wellness programs.

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic declared by the WHO has affected many countries rendering everyday lives halted. In the Philippines, the lockdown quarantine protocols have shifted the traditional college classes to online. The abrupt transition to online classes may bring psychological effects to college students due to continuous isolation and lack of interaction with fellow students and teachers. Our study aims to assess Filipino college students’ mental health status and to estimate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the shift to online learning, and social media use on mental health. In addition, facilitators or stressors that modified the mental health status of the college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, quarantine, and subsequent shift to online learning will be investigated. Methods and analysis Mixed-method study design will be used, which will involve: (1) an online survey to 2,100 college students across the Philippines; and (2) randomly selected 20–40 key inf...
