Bangladesh's education sector has been in a state of flux since COVID-19. During the pandemic, all university campuses were closed. There was a mental health issue among the students. This study aims to examine the mental health condition and the determinants that contribute to adverse mental health conditions among university students of Bangladesh. A survey was performed online among university students in Bangladesh, in mid-June 2020 when averaging 3345 affected cases of the population daily. The convenience sampling technique was used and the survey gathered data from 365 university students. The relationship between general information and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) subscales of university students was determined. The questionnaire was administered to respondents during the pandemic, which ensured fast replies. Linear regression models were used for statistical analysis. University students indicated normal levels of depression (30.41%), anxiety (43.29%), and stress (47.40%). However, a disproportionate number of extremely depressed, anxious, and stressed university students suggested a mental health status of concern. There were significant connections between the individual's opinion of social satisfaction, mental health concerns, and the present location's safety with an undesirable mental health condition. Female students were shown to be much more anxious and stressed than male students. Capital Dhaka city students were more depressed and anxious than students outside of Dhaka. Financial and psychological support for students may help mitigate the psychological impact. Authorities should make effective efforts to reduce mental health problems among these students. This research may aid organizations, health care providers, and social workers in their attempts to prepare for and respond to pandemics.
自新冠疫情以来，孟加拉国的教育部门一直处于动荡状态。在疫情期间，所有大学校园都关闭了。学生中出现了心理健康问题。本研究旨在调查孟加拉国大学生的心理健康状况以及导致不良心理健康状况的决定因素。2020年6月中旬，当平均每天有3345例受影响病例时，对孟加拉国的大学生进行了在线调查。采用了便利抽样技术，该调查收集了365名大学生的数据。确定了大学生的一般信息与抑郁、焦虑和压力量表21（DASS - 21）子量表之间的关系。问卷是在疫情期间发放给受访者的，这确保了快速回复。使用线性回归模型进行统计分析。大学生表示抑郁（30.41%）、焦虑（43.29%）和压力（47.40%）处于正常水平。然而，极抑郁、焦虑和压力大的大学生比例过高，表明心理健康状况令人担忧。个人对社会满意度的看法、心理健康问题以及当前所在地的安全与不良心理健康状况之间存在显著联系。结果显示，女学生比男学生更焦虑、压力更大。达卡市的学生比达卡以外的学生更抑郁、焦虑。为学生提供经济和心理支持可能有助于减轻心理影响。当局应做出有效努力，减少这些学生中的心理健康问题。这项研究可能有助于组织、医疗保健提供者和社会工作者为应对疫情做准备和做出反应。
