Psycho-emotional state of students from Spain, Russia, Israel, and Kazakhstan during the period of social isolation due to COVID-19

Abstract

Students were very vulnerable to the risk of mental health deterioration during the
coronavirus disease COVID-19. This study is aimed at identifying predictive factors of mental
health among students. Social isolation has been introduced in all countries of the world with the
aim of non-proliferation of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus, known as the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Such prolonged social isolation had consequences in the form of significant psycho-emotional
changes. The theoretical study was conducted to identify the impact of distance learning and the
consequences of social isolation on the quality of life of students from different countries. The
theoretical review includes studies describing the psycho-emotional state of students of different
ages from Spain, Russia, and Israel during the period of social isolation.
