当前的新冠疫情严重威胁着整个世界，由于可能接触到感染源，不同国家的人们都被要求进行隔离。高死亡率、新冠病毒的传播以及社交媒体节目中虚假新闻的扩散，在大多数社会群体尤其是医学生中引发了恐惧和焦虑。新冠疫情期间最显著的变化之一是实体教学讲座的终止，取而代之的是虚拟在线讲座。诸如此类的情况对医学生的心理健康产生了负面影响。因此，研究新冠疫情对医学生学习的影响以及他们所经历的困境、心理和教育变量的影响很有意义，特别是在返回学校进行实体授课期间，以及这些变量对年龄、性别、婚姻状况、从临床前阶段过渡到临床阶段等可能影响因素的影响。在沙特阿拉伯王国乌姆古拉大学的医学生中完成了一项横断面研究。通过发放在线问卷收集数据。使用微软Power BI进行了统计分析。在五年级女性参与者中，14.82%的人无法停止对不同事情的担忧，而在一年级男性参与者中这一比例为10.54%。在医学三年级和四年级中，发现大量学生增加了洗手次数，而在整个学习年份中，27.92%的学生表示同意，29.05%的学生强烈同意。45.29%的学生在在线课程前因网络连接而有心理压力，而自转向在线学习以来，51.55%的学生学习动力下降。数据显示，过去有疾病且焦虑的参与者中，男性和女性年龄在21 - 23岁的人数最多。大多数学生对返回实体课堂感到恐惧，并且更倾向于不接受在校教育。因此，建议通过提供个人防护装备（PPE）课程来鼓励学生并减轻压力。
