Filter by:Covid-19 pandemic has affected the entire globe for the past 2 years on a major scale, causing never before seen major effects on the way we live probably for the near future. SARS-Cov-2, previously known as coronavirus, is the causative virus for this disease and it originates from Wuhan, China with its first reported case of human infection back in December 2019. From there, it quickly resulted in an outbreak which was first unsuccessfully contained by the China government and has spread across the globe causing more than 187 million positive cases and 4.05 million deaths at the time of writing this proposal. For this reason, various measures have been implemented to control the spread of the virus with the main one to be discussed for reasons of this research, the movement restriction order (MCO). MCO was implemented to limit and control the local outbreak by restraining the movements of the people only to the absolute necessary. Social and religious gatherings, outdoor recreational activities, operation of learning institution of all levels are among those prohibited, only allowing essential goods store and health care facility centres to operate for the period. Thus, this study is done to assess the impact Covid-19 movement restriction has had on university students from a physical and psychological standpoint during the MCO period. The implementation of the various restriction order has caused the students to go through numerous cycles of distress and it is of importance to determine the impact it has done to be able to provide the appropriate support if needed.
The investigators performed a randomised controlled trial with 202 healthy university students in the Oslo area, with 50:50 in a yoga intervention group and a waitlist control group. Measures included symptoms of depression and anxiety, sleep problems, heart rate variability (HRV), well-being and mindfulness at week 0 (baseline), week 12 (post-intervention) and week 24 (follow-up).
The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of energy drink, alcohol and substance use among university students; to explore whether there is a relationship between energy drink consumption and alcohol-substance use in university students or not and to evaluate effect of impulsiveness and sensation seeking on this relationship.
