Gender Differences in Stress Among Students of Higher Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The impact of the stress during COVID-19 pandemic among students of different genders is clear. However, there is lack of review on the extent of how students of various genders were affected, and the strategies used during COVID-19 pandemic within higher education setting. Using a textual narrative synthesis, this chapter searched databases for primary articles to explore the extent to which students of different genders were affected and the strategies used to cope during COVID-19 pandemic. The review used a priori tool for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Out of the total of 16,308 citations, 11 were identified from six different countries in the final review.
