Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To examine college students' sexual behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, an online survey was conducted, in which 80 college students answered. Results showed that there was a small change in sexual behaviors such as (1) number of sex partners, (2) frequency of sexual intercourse, (3) masturbation, (4) use of porn, and (5) use of condoms. Although odds ratios were not statistically significant, Graduates were more likely to report a change in number of sexual partners, [OR=1.04, 95% CI= 0.6-1.94], and porn use [OR=1.12, 95% CI= 0.66-1.90]. Undergraduates were more likely to report a change in the frequency of sexual intercourse [OR=1.08, 95% CI=0.75-1.55] and condom use [OR=1.31, 95% CI=0.90-1.92]. Females reporting a change in the frequency of sexual intercourse is 7% higher than Males reporting change [OR=1.07, 95% CI= 0.91-1.27]. Females were more likely to report a change in masturbation than Males [OR=1.06, 95% CI=0.90-1.26], while Males were more likely to report a change in condom use than Females [OR=1.41, 95% CI=0.42-4.76]. Additionally, 45 participants experienced some level of fear of contracting COVID-19 during a sexual encounter. The people who experienced changes number of sex partners [OR=1.57, 95% CI= 1.08-2.28], frequency of sexual intercourse [OR=1.18, 95% CI=], masturbation [OR=1.29, 95% CI= 0.86-1.92], and use of porn [OR= 1.27, 95% CI=0.85-1.90] were more likely to report fear of contracting COVID-19 during a sexual encounter. While these results do align with previous studies, a larger sample size is needed to strengthen the validity of these findings. Universities should use this data as preliminary information about to promote sexual health and COVID-19 education programs on campus.

Download or read book Investigating the Relationships Between College Student Mental Health Risk Perception Protective Factors and Academic Persistence in Responding to the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Yusen Zhai and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has upended a plethora of lives worldwide. Students enrolled in institutions of higher education are not immune to the significant impact of the pandemic, encountering myriads of challenges that lead to poor mental health and academic persistence. The pandemic has also created a disproportionate impact on marginalized students, such as racial, ethnic, and sexual minority students as well as students with disabilities, amplifying inequalities in a time of crisis. Constructs investigated, in this study, included the relationships of college students' risk perception of COVID-19, mental health, protective factors (optimism, help-seeking, social support), and academic persistence in response to the COVID-19 pandemic among 1051 college students, including racial, ethnic, and sexual minority students, students with disabilities, international students, and first-generation college students, from various higher education institutions across the United States. Also examined was the risk perception of COVID-19, mental health, protective factors, and academic persistence in different demographic groups of college students in response to the pandemic, shedding light on the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on marginalized college students in the United States. Results from structural equation modeling revealed that both risk perception of COVID-19 and mental health contributed to academic persistence directly and indirectly through protective factors. The greater risk perceptions of COVID-19 were associated with higher levels of academic persistence among college students. Risk perception of COVID-19 and mental health were found to be negatively associated. Results showed that optimism did not mediate the effect of risk perception on help-seeking behaviors but did fully mediate mental health effects on help-seeking behaviors, suggesting that individuals with higher levels of optimism may not underestimate the risk of the infectious disease and thus reduce health-related behaviors. Findings highlighted the fundamental role of social support in mitigating the deleterious effects of the pandemic to promote academic persistence. Findings from this study also provided empirical evidence for the first time, suggesting the positive effects of risk perception of COVID-19 on protective behaviors as well as academic persistence in U.S. college students. Results from the independent sample t-test revealed that marginalized students were disproportionately affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Racial, ethnic, and sexual minority students and students with disabilities demonstrated less academic persistence, mental health, and social support compared with their peers; meanwhile, they were more likely than their peers to perceive greater risk of COVID-19. The results from structural equation modeling and t-test provided empirical evidence and implications that inform strategic plans at the individual, institutional, community, and policy levels to mitigate the detrimental effects of COVID-19 on college students. Specific implications for higher education leadership, faculty, administrators and stakeholders, mental health providers, professional counselors (e.g., mental health and career counselors), and counselor educators are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a baffling, troubling, and hard to treat phenomenon that has increased markedly in recent years.

Download or read book Sexual Health and Black College Students written by Naomi M. Hall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the various psychosocial, sociocultural, and contextual factors that affect the sexual health of Black students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and how this environment can help develop strategies to improve sexual health outcomes for its students. The college environment provides young people with a new sense of independence, self-determination, and peer pressure to engage in risky sexual behaviors, and research has shown that Black students at HBCUs bear a disproportionate burden of poorer sexual health outcomes than students at predominately white institutions (PWIs). Uniquely focusing on the sexual milieu of Black students, Hall-Byers explains why a better understanding of these settings is needed to guide successful interventions that benefit and support the sexual health of Black students. Chapters compare data and research on sexual health outcomes of young Black men and women in comparison to those at predominately white institutions, as well as looking at the role of HBCU campus contexts and cultures, the potential psychosocial and sociocultural influences, what culturally responsive approaches may look like, and recommendations on how HBCU campuses can increase positive sexual health, such as through access, collaborative efforts among administrative offices, and reallocating resources. Sexual Health and Black College Students aims to advance the translation of culturally grounded research into effective practice and is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in sex therapy, public health, and social science as well as for college health staff, including nurses, student affairs, and campus wellness centers.

Download or read book Primary and Secondary Education During Covid 19 written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access edited volume is a comparative effort to discern the short-term educational impact of the covid-19 pandemic on students, teachers and systems in Brazil, Chile, Finland, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the first academic comparative studies of the educational impact of the pandemic, the book explains how the interruption of in person instruction and the variable efficacy of alternative forms of education caused learning loss and disengagement with learning, especially for disadvantaged students. Other direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic diminished the ability of families to support children and youth in their education. For students, as well as for teachers and school staff, these included the economic shocks experienced by families, in some cases leading to food insecurity and in many more causing stress and anxiety and impacting mental health. Opportunity to learn was also diminished by the shocks and trauma experienced by those with a close relative infected by the virus, and by the constrains on learning resulting from students having to learn at home, where the demands of schoolwork had to be negotiated with other family necessities, often sharing limited space. Furthermore, the prolonged stress caused by the uncertainty over the resolution of the pandemic and resulting from the knowledge that anyone could be infected and potentially lose their lives, created a traumatic context for many that undermined the necessary focus and dedication to schoolwork. These individual effects were reinforced by community effects, particularly for students and teachers living in communities where the multifaceted negative impacts resulting from the pandemic were pervasive. This is an open access book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The novel coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) has caused one of the largest pandemics in human history. COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. The worldwide COVID health crisis has affected virtually every aspect of daily life, namely the conditions in which we are born, grow, learn, work, and age. For the last three years, for instance, we have engaged in social distancing, remote meetups and seemingly endless Zoom calls. We have also changed how we view healthcare, with many increasing their use of telemedicine. Many have also abandoned city living for a more comfortable life in suburban, peri-rural and rural environments, with greater access to trees and parkland. Travel has been significantly impacted-disrupting existing social networks but also potentially deepening more localized social networks. For some, these changes were only in initial lockdown period(s); for others, these changes may be ongoing. The idea for our book emerged from overwhelming evidence that the pandemic intersects with nearly every social determinant of population health and aggravating existing inequalities in social conditions and health outcomes"--

Download or read book Impact of Covid 19 on the Careers of Women in Academic Sciences Engineering and Medicine written by National Academies Of Sciences Engineeri and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spring of 2020 marked a change in how almost everyone conducted their personal and professional lives, both within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and beyond. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global scientific conferences and individual laboratories and required people to find space in their homes from which to work. It blurred the boundaries between work and non-work, infusing ambiguity into everyday activities. While adaptations that allowed people to connect became more common, the evidence available at the end of 2020 suggests that the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic endangered the engagement, experience, and retention of women in academic STEMM, and may roll back some of the achievement gains made by women in the academy to date. Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women in Academic STEMM identifies, names, and documents how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the careers of women in academic STEMM during the initial 9-month period since March 2020 and considers how these disruptions - both positive and negative - might shape future progress for women. This publication builds on the 2020 report Promising Practices for Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine to develop a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced ways these disruptions have manifested. Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women in Academic STEMM will inform the academic community as it emerges from the pandemic to mitigate any long-term negative consequences for the continued advancement of women in the academic STEMM workforce and build on the adaptations and opportunities that have emerged.
