Abstract

Two years since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, education in universities is still being disrupted. Prolonged exposure to the pandemic situation may result in health-related problems for university students. In January 2022, we conducted an online survey in three universities in Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam for a rapid assessment of students’ perceived impacts on their health conditions. In total, 159 students from the three sites responded. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. A third of the respondents reported that their health condition was impacted, while female students perceived more impact on health than males (p<0.001). over half of the respondents reported experiencing some stress, while students living in dormitory had a higher tendency to perceive stress (p<0.05). moreover, grades tended have perceived (p<0.01) and worry (p<0.001). there were also significant differences level health impact, for future among from three sites, probably due characteristics each site. these findings imply need address not only quality education but improve support services on campus.
