This chapter presents the results from the data collected, analyzed, and
interpreted by the researchers and answers the questions from the statement of the
As stated in Table 1, Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the reliability of the
test item and was compute by the use of SPSS software which reveals that the
variables are consistent and reliable. Both alpha coefficients under the mental and
social reached the standard limit, except for the two surveys. This indicates to the
researcher how much of the overall test scores would change if multiple items were
used. The whole question is potentially relevant since it informs participants whether
they have covered the extent of the construction (Goforth, 2020). However, using the
Inter-Item correlation all reach above the 0.20 and 0.40 threshold, result that the
surveys are acceptable for reliability (Piedmont, 2014). We know that exercise aids
executive functions such as sequencing, recall, and prioritizing, all of which are
important for academic and life achievement with simply physical exercise can train
the brain for learning (Bossenmeyer, 2020) while social events such as interaction or
communicating with others helps develop emotional intelligence and engage others
cultures (SCU, 2020). The lack of physical exercise has significant repercussions for
students' health, including an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. This has also
been found to affect students' mental health and well-being, as well as their academic
In Table 2, out of 200 students who enrolled in Kidapawan Doctors College, only
43 were able to complete the survey. Using the frequency and relative frequency
formula, the female has a total frequency of 33 and a relative frequency of 0.77. While
for the male, its frequency of 10 with a relative frequency is 0.23. In Table 2, out of 200
students who enrolled in Kidapawan Doctors College, only 43 were able to complete the
survey. Using the frequency and relative frequency formula, the female has a total
frequency of 33 and a relative frequency of 0.77. While for the male, its frequency of 10
with a relative frequency is 0.23. For the age, 21 respondents were 21 - 25 years that
had 0.49% of its relative frequency. It has an average mean of 21 and a standard

In the first section that the researcher calculated the answer from the first level of
the student’s physical health. Note that the researcher has adapted few questions (no. 8
and no. 7) from the previous studies to understand further the impact of online learning
and technology on the students’ well-being (Anderson, 2018). This would be the
opportunity for the researcher to observe if the results have lengthened than the
previous studies.
Table 5 reports this analysis found statistically significant interpreted ‘Agree’ with
the mean of 3.95 along with its standard deviation of 0.345. The highest indicator
interpreted ‘Strongly Agree’ were “I sometimes encounter my eyes hurting during a long
time online.” and “I would feel tired looking at the screen for a long duration of time.”.
Higher time on-screen having less outdoor time could potentially affect the eyes of the
2020). This in the future can lead to severe eye problems, including certain possibly
blinding illnesses. Second highest that interpreted as ‘Agree’ such as “I tend to feel
uncomfortable sitting on the table during online classes.”, “I tend to feel uncomfortable
sitting on the table during online classes.”, “I tend to have back/shoulder/neck pain
during a long hour of an online class.”, “I spend more time on my homework than in my
other classes.”, and “I always encounter technical difficulties during online classes.”.
Lastly, interpreted as ‘Fair’ such as “I feel that using technology interferes with my ability
to accomplish the required coursework.” and the “I value the online learning
moment to consult with each other so that we keep our physical bodies healthy for our
best success during this period. The COVID-19 crisis forced universities and colleges
around the globe to switch efficiently to online instruction, education, and science in the
students, encouraging faculty and workers, and maintaining their economic viability.
The next set answered the second level of the student’s mental health. Since
mental such as depression, anxiety and inactive lifestyles are all too common among
college students, and a new study finds they may have escalated during the initial
Numerous recent student surveys suggest that the social and environmental
effects of the pandemic, as well as the continuing instability of their college and
outcome students, have affected their mental well-being (Panchal, Kamal, Cox &
Garfield , 2021). There are multiple that interpreted as ‘Agree’ such as “I don't feel like
depressed when I’m on the screen during online learning., “I don't feel motivated and
engage in an online environment.”, and “I don’t regularly get up and move around
online.” followed by ‘Fair’ as it interpreted, such as “I feel that the content of work
obstacles, working rapidly to move classes into an online format, ensuring equal
access for all pupils, supporting the educational interests of teachers and students,
and making preparations in the face of great uncertainty. The pandemic itself
triggered a lot of concern, tension, and sorrow. These stressors can cause obstacles
to mental wellbeing for everyone and can cause acute effects for individuals with
mental health issues (American Psychological Association, 2020). For the learners
who prefer it, studies found that online learning can be as good or better for students
than in-person learning. Yet by the way of an interpersonal college experience for
hunts, thousands of students will quickly reach their third semester of remote

Second to the last set answered by a researcher from the student’s emotional
health. This level finds crucial in multiple respondents who responded ‘Agree’
contributing to students’ distress during this pandemic; however, there remains much
to be learned about the psychological such as the emotional health impacts facing
students and what can be done to reduce it. Table 7 reported with High level in the

of professors and classmates, the “I feel that my future might be disrupted because of
the pandemic.” followed by “I feel lonely online rather than the actual class.”. Then, “I
don't feel productive during my time in the online class.” and “I don't feel
encouragement during the online classes.” Offering students all over the world is up to
the difficult mission, of not only adjusting and switching to free forms of teaching but
hours with Zoom ( Agarwal and Kaushik, 2020). Now, that we can anticipate, it is the

The first thing to bear in mind is that everybody starts from the beginning and
nobody been in a situation such as the COVID-19 crisis until now, which means that
there is no way to tell if the students have been locked emotionally segregated and
Lastly, the respondents answered the final set of the level which is social
health. This level stresses that while people must take social distancing seriously,
they also find ways to interact with family and friends during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Psychologically, it is a whole new world for people, and not being able to interact, can
be very depressing and stressful (Clendenin, 2020). The level of “Agree” shows
significantly. The “I can't communicate with others properly because of the slow net
connection.” shows the highest mean of 4.16 interpreted as ‘agree’ followed by “I feel
get distracted and lose time during an online class.”, and, “I think online education is

attention before taking a test, or a chore behind saying the present for attendance,
either it's a dilemma for students that is significant. Without absolute peace, quietness,
and concentration it ruins the productivity spree before the pandemic has appeared.
The uncommon sense of consistency concerning the future is felt in many other
students (Mayzenderg, 2020). The “I'm becoming less active in interacting with online
people.” shows that smartphones and social networks have decreased the population
of students doing so in and out. Social media has harmed their well-being and family
connections in the lives of the family members (Chrysanthos, 2020). The “I have a
working device if there is a video or audio presented during the online class.” followed
by “I feel that I'm struggling to adapt with the technology.”. Lastly, “I am unable to

As a result, it was determined that the overall mode from Psychology students is

Health effects often rely on social and economic that influences that have an
impact on the cultural and political environments of society. To consider the well-being
of students, sex and gender must be understood (Vlassoff, 2020). Table 11 shows the
