The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased fear of infection, social isolation, financial concerns, and feelings of loneliness and uncertainty. Studies reveal that the pandemic has had a significant negative impact on mental health. This systematic review aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms among students in Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed on August 5, 2024, using the electronic databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. The search utilized the Boolean logical operator expression ('depression' AND 'anxiety' AND 'stress' AND 'COVID-19' AND 'Croatia' AND 'student'). Out of one hundred and fifty-four identified studies, five met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The studies used the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) to assess mental health. The results indicate a high prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress among students in Croatia during the pandemic. A high prevalence of negative affective emotions was observed among students in Croatia during the pandemic. This finding underscores the importance of developing effective strategies for the early identification and management of mental disorders among students, irrespective of the pandemic's conclusion.
新冠疫情导致人们对感染的恐惧加剧、社交隔离、经济担忧以及孤独感和不确定性。研究表明，疫情对心理健康产生了重大负面影响。本系统评价旨在调查克罗地亚学生在新冠疫情期间抑郁、焦虑和压力症状的患病率。按照PRISMA指南进行了系统评价。于2024年8月5日使用电子数据库Scopus、PubMed、Web of Science和PsycINFO进行文献检索。检索使用布尔逻辑运算符表达式（“抑郁”且“焦虑”且“压力”且“新冠”且“克罗地亚”且“学生”）。在154项已识别的研究中，有5项符合纳入标准并被纳入该评价。这些研究使用广泛性焦虑障碍7项量表（GAD - 7）、患者健康问卷9项量表（PHQ - 9）以及抑郁、焦虑和压力量表21项量表（DASS - 21）来评估心理健康。结果表明，克罗地亚学生在疫情期间抑郁、焦虑和压力症状的患病率较高。在克罗地亚学生中观察到疫情期间负面情感情绪的高患病率。这一发现强调了制定有效策略以早期识别和管理学生心理障碍的重要性，无论疫情是否结束。
