    Impact of the lockdown due to the pandemic on the students of the hellenic open university
    (Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2021) Gareiou, Zoe
    The emergence of COVID-19 disease and its rapid spread makes it a dangerous pandemic. Governments around the world, in order to limit its contagion, impose restrictions, such as lockdown, social and physical distancing and avoiding in person learning. The implementation of restrictive measures has affected various sectors of society and has a major impact on the psychological state of the general population. Education is equally affected, affecting the mental health of students, causing the emergence of various negative emotions. The present study investigates the effects of the lockdown on the students of the Hellenic Open University (HOU), in terms of their mental health and education, using a structured questionnaire, which was sent to the HOU students electronically. The questionnaire consisted of three parts. The first part contained questions about student education. In the second part, students were asked to respond to their state of mental and emotional health, during the last two weeks before the lifting of the lockdown. In the third part the socio-demographic data of the respondents were recorded. A total of 1,504 questionnaires were collected, which were considered valid and analyzed. Simple descriptive statistics and chi-square test were conducted to statistically analyse the data and investigate the important statistical correlations between the questions and the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The results show that during the lockdown, although the students had more time for their studies and there was the necessary calm and physical disposition to do so, the absence of calm, mood and mental disposition, negatively affected them, so that they could engage more intensively in their studies. It seems that the students of HOU were negatively affected by the restrictive confinement measures, mainly in terms of the psychological part, showing an absence of calm, mood and mental disposition.
