Abstract EN

This review aimed to summarise the current evidence relating to university students' psychological well being amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

A scoping review, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, was first conducted to determine if the evidence can be systematically reviewed and meta-analysed.

The search was performed via Google Scholar, MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science.

A total of 90 original articles were selected for the scoping review.

Meta analysis of a total of 46,284 cases revealed an overall pooled prevalence rate of 29.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] : 20.9-39.0; K = 9, N = 22357) for anxiety symptoms and 23.2% (95% CI : 15.7-32.9; K= 12, N = 23927) for depression symptoms.

This data revealed that COVID-19 had a significant impact on university students' psychological well being.
