The COVID-19 pandemic, which is a global health emergency, has potentiality had a serious impact on students' mental health. An online cross-sectional survey design that included 534 senior year college students from South India revealed a significant and direct positive effect of the fear of a third wave of COVID-19 on academic anxiety which in turn showed a significant and direct positive effect on COVID-19 burnout. Academic anxiety was also found to mediate the relationship between the fear of a third wave of COVID-19 and subsequent cases of burnout. The study suggested measures to be taken by policy makers for the broader interest and wellbeing of student communities. Managerial implications, limitations and future studies were also examined in the paper.
新冠疫情作为一场全球卫生突发事件，可能已对学生的心理健康产生了严重影响。一项在线横断面调查涵盖了来自印度南部的534名大四学生，结果显示，对新冠第三波疫情的恐惧对学业焦虑有显著且直接的正向影响，而学业焦虑又对新冠倦怠有显著且直接的正向影响。研究还发现，学业焦虑在对新冠第三波疫情的恐惧与随后的倦怠案例之间起中介作用。该研究提出了政策制定者应为学生群体的广泛利益和福祉采取的措施。论文还探讨了管理启示、局限性和未来研究方向。
