| Summary: | Various mental health problems have been reported to have increased exponentially because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of the research was to compare the anxiety, depression and hopelessness reported by students who suffered COVID-19 and those who did not. There was a non-probabilistic sample of volunteer subjects of 538 students from a bachelor and degree university in northeastern Mexico who had and did not have COVID-19. Significant differences were found (p> .05), with a weak effect size (d> .30), where the students who did have COVID-19 presented greater anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. It concludes on the need for precise diagnoses for the implementation of prevention and intervention strategies applied by specialists responsible for attending to the mental health of the youth population |
