Tiivistelmä
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic studies, daily life, family atmosphere, and psychological well-being among university students in Bangladesh.
Method: A questionnaire was completed by 108 female and 157 male university
students in Bangladesh. The mean age was 22.1 years (SD 1.9) for females, and 23.1
years (SD 2.4) for males. The data were collected from August to November 2020.
Results: Among the respondents, 5.7% had been infected with the COVID-19, 14.3%
had an infected family member, and 49.8% knew someone who had died from the
pandemic. Female reports on negative effects of the pandemic on daily life were
significantly higher than reports by males. No sex differences regarding the negative
impact on academic studies, family atmosphere, or psychological well-being were
found. A negative impact of the pandemic on psychological well-being correlated
significantly with a negative impact on academic studies, daily life, and family
atmosphere.
Conclusions: It was concluded that students who reported a high level of negative
impact on psychological well-being due to the pandemic also scored significantly
higher on a negative impact of the pandemic on academic studies, daily life, and
family atmosphere.
