Third-level students in Ireland who had financial concerns, a pre-existing illness or higher levels of psychological distress reported higher levels of stress related to the Covid-19 pandemic, a study has found.
The study, carried out by the School of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, aimed to assess levels of coronavirus-related stress among Irish students in the context of very little being known about the long-term effects of the pandemic on young people.
An online survey was completed by 321 college students in Ireland, primarily from higher education institutions.
