The Influence of Psychological and Subjective Wellbeing on Coping, Study Habits and the Use of Information and Communications Technology in University Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
Introduction. Salutogenic and biopsychosocial models encourage promoting wellbeing. Studies recognize that they favor study habits. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes led to researching if wellbeing influenced coping, study habits and the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology. A quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out with undergraduate students of different socioeconomic levels from two private institutions in Bogotá, Colombia. The data was analyzed through the partial least squares approach of structural equations modeling. Results. 212 students participated, whose ages were between 18 and 30 (A=22.74 and SD= 5.55). The model yielded a Standardized Root Mean Squared of 0.079. Path coefficient β and statistical coefficient t demonstrated positive and significant relations between psychological wellbeing and proper coping (β=0.50, t=6.75, P=0.000), study habits (β= 0.49, t=5.49, P=0.000) and the use of ICT (β=0.29, t=2.70, P=0.007), and negative relations to improper coping (β=-0.35, t=4.28, P=0.000). The same applies to the relationship between subjective wellbeing and improper coping (β=-0.23, t=2.76, P=0.006) and study habits (β=-0.21, t=2.09, P=0.037). Discussion. The findings of other research on the influence of wellbeing on favoring mental health were validated. Conclusions. Positive and significant relationships were demonstrated between wellbeing and proper coping, study habits and the use of ICT, and negative relationships were observed with improper coping.
