Abstract

Background: Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a pandemic infectious disease that caused a global health problem. Many countries suffered from this virus including impoverished and developed countries. Several studies have shown that COVID-19 affected the mental state of undergraduate medical students. This study aims to show the impact of online learning on the psychological state of medical students at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) in Riyadh.

Methods: Cross-sectional, online survey. A 16- item questionnaire was designed and distributed to all medical students of IMSIU through emails and social media groups. Five-point Likert questions were used, ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.

Result: Out of 400 who participated in the study, 317 (79%) completed the survey; the majority were male (64.7%). The mental state was worsened in 143 (46.5%) students. At the same time, 77 (25%) felt psychologically improved and 97 (32%) students did not notice any change in their mental health.

Conclusion: The results show an effect on the mental state of the medical students during the quarantine measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Keywords: Online learning, psychological well-being, COVID-19 pandemic, medical students, Saudi Arabia
