Introduction: Background of the Study

 On January 30, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced coronavirus

disease 2019 to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and a

pandemic on March 11, 2020.

 At the beginning of 2020, the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) became a

public health emergency in the Philippines. Due to its high contagiousness,

educational institutions rapidly transitioned to remote learning.

 As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, students, educators, and parents have

encountered several challenges. Anxiety and depression are likely to rise, posing

a major threat to an individual's mental health (NAMI, 2020).

Explanation: Even until now the threat of the pandemic remains, which is why it is

essential to fully comprehend how the pandemic urged uncertainty which leads to

disruptions in everyday schedules that affect stress, depression, and an individual’s

wellbeing. It is significant to know the impact of a pandemic on mental health,

especially on students.

Introduction: Statement of the Problem

  The purpose of this case study is to determine how the mental health of the

Grade 12 ABM students of Father Saturnino Urios University — Morelos Campus

has changed before COVID-19 and at present. This study will shed light on the

extent to which the pandemic and the prolonged quarantine have impaired the

students’ mental health.

Introduction: Theoretical Framework

 The meaning maintenance model (MMM) and the idea of existential anxiety

provide a theoretical framework for analyzing the effects on the mental health of

the COVID-19 pandemic.

 In the meaning maintenance model, humans were said to be meaning-makers,

as they create meaning by forming relationships, recognizing patterns, and

establishing connections in new situations and environments

 According to MMM, existential anxiety is caused not only by a fear of death but

also by a sense of meaninglessness. In light of the problems posed by the

COVID-19 pandemic, people may be motivated to re-establish order, normality

and certainty, re-establish a sense of coherence, and retain meaning (Heine et

al., 2006)

Explanation: People's existing and expected relational networks in their families,

communities, and the world as a whole appear to have been altered by the COVID-

19 pandemic. The meaning maintenance model is the most pertinent to the goals of
 this study due to the focus it places on the effect of finding meaning in new

situations and environments, for example the COVID-19 pandemic and the new

normal. People maintain their mental health through developing coherent relations

in their daily lives.

Introduction: Scope, Delimitation, and Limitation

 Due to the current situation, the inclusion of classes transcended to the new

mode of gaining knowledge, which is online learning. Thus, the scope of this

study is among the Grade 12 ABM Students of Father Saturnino Urios University,

Morelos Campus, online learners for the academic year 2021-2022.

 To attain favorably accurate results, the researchers chose specified Grade 12

ABM students of FSUU to participate in this study.

 Given the health protocols, the collection of data was only done using online

platforms such as Google Forms and Messenger in a timeframe of 60 days before

the completion of the study to assess and fully understand the student’s mental

health changes and how they manage these changes over the course of a

pandemic.

Introduction: Significance of the Study

 The findings of this study will provide insight into how the pandemic has affected

the students’ mental health since the outbreak.

  Benefiting this study are the various sectors as follows:

o The students - The study will help students in better understanding their

mental health changes in this time of pandemic.

Explanation: It will also allow students to have ideas on coping methods for mental

pressure, and may even help them cope as well by applying them.

o The school - Given the study's findings, schools may organize symposia

on mental health improvement and other activities for their students'

mental wellness.

o Future researchers - This study may serve as a guide for future

researchers to acquire information and as a foundation to create a larger

study.

Introduction: Definition of Terms

 To prevent misunderstanding, the researchers provided both operational and

conceptual definition of terms which are essential in this study.

o Case Study. It is the research method applied in this study which

analyzes a phenomenon in its natural setting based on an in-depth study

of a specific group

o Mental Health. It is an individual's emotional, psychological, and social

well-being, which influences how they think, feel, and act.

 o Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM). A strand that

focuses on the essential concepts of financial management, business

CONCLUDE: And that brings us to the end of chapter 1. At this time, I would like to

introduce Christina Jolie Buron to further discuss the chapter 2, review of related

literature of this study

 PART 2 (first reporter - BURON)

 Introduce yourself, tapos introduce nga chapter two saatong study imong ireport

EXPLAON: The researchers provided a comprehensive overview of related literature on

students' mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous studies,

both domestic and foreign, that are believed to strengthen this study are covered in this

chapter, which are explained further by their respective themes.

Students Experience Mental Health Problems to a Greater Extent After the

Outbreak

 Students’ reported having increased mental health problems on a greater scale

after the outbreak. Elmer et al. (2020) and Moghe et al. (2020) argued that the

COVID-19 pandemic increased high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety

among students. Moreover, their findings revealed that students are having

unusual thoughts and are questioning their lives, particularly their future, along

with concerns about the health of their loved ones.

Explanation: Due to the long-lasting widespread circumstance and grave measures

such as lockdown and stay-at-home orders, the COVID-19 pandemic brought negative

impacts on students’ mental health, and the longer students have isolated themselves,

the more they experienced mental health issues.

—NEXT SLIDE—
Relation Between Students’ Mental Health Problems and Their Academic

Performance Amid the Pandemic

Explanation: There have been some inconsistencies in the literature on the subject of

mental health and academic performance among students during the pandemic.

 Social isolation, as per Barrot et al. (2020), reduced students' learning

experiences, interactions with classmates and teachers, and depleted financial

resources, all of which were linked to depression, stress, and anxiety.

 In contrast, Tus (2021) discovered that the severity of students' depression,

anxiety, and stress does not influence their academic performance. Furthermore,

the findings revealed that there is no correlation between negative mental health

symptoms and academic achievement.

Explanation: COVID-19 pandemic had the greatest impact on students' online

academic experience in terms of teaching and learning quality, as well as their mental

health. Despite their high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, some students are

nonetheless able to complete and manage their academic responsibilities.

CONCLUDE: To discuss the other related literature in this study, I would like to

introduce Christian Angelo Oropel to further illustrate more pieces related literature in

this study

Students Coping Mechanisms During the COVID-19 Pandemic

 Alfawaz et al. (2021) found that developing family relationships throughout the

pandemic resulted in students having fewer mental health problems.

 Whereas, Rotas and Cahapay (2021) discovered that students manage mental

health risks in a variety of methods such as:

o Looking for good space and time o Extending the time for learning

o Borrowing learning resources tasks

o Seeking support from peers o Diverting attention

o Approaching teachers o Regulating the self

o Practicing time management o Taking extra jobs

o Doing learning tasks ahead of o Praying, and;

time o Crying
Explanation: The majority of which focused on the self and less on emotional support

from their social network. Members of the academic community, particularly students,

were found to be susceptible to mental health concerns during the pandemic.

Therefore, coping methods were developed to lessen the stated negative effects.

COVID-19 Pandemic Having No Effect on the Mental Wellbeing of Students

 A study found that the COVID-19 pandemic did not cause considerable

psychological stress in the study's student participants. Academic efficacy beliefs,

satisfaction, and university sense of belonging could be considered some

relevant protective factors for students' mental health, based on the correlational

results and as demonstrated in previous studies, implying that supportive

university environments foster student flourishing (Capone et al., 2020).

Explanation: Capone et al. (2020) pointed out that schools play a vital role in

students' mental wellness and that a supportive university environment is a key factor

to maintaining it.

Explanation: To conclude, many students have suffered increased mental health risks

since the pandemic began. As such, coping methods were developed. While studies

found that the pandemic affected students' online learning experiences, it has also been

found that this event did not hinder some students from achieving academic success.

Furthermore, as students were found to be susceptible to mental health risks, schools

should play their part in supporting their mental health.

CONCLUDE: And that brings us to the end of chapter 2. At this juncture, may I call on

analyze the information gathered. The methodology discusses and explains the different

procedures, such as the research design, research respondents, data gathering

procedure, and research instrument to establish the overall validity and reliability of the

study.

Research Design

 This study used a qualitative research design and gathered primary data in a

descriptive approach.

Explanation: A qualitative research design includes a process of discovery that allows

the researcher to establish details.

 The descriptive approach is one of the methodologies used in qualitative study

design. It is a method of describing the current state of a phenomenon without

attempting to modify it (Mertler, 2009).

Explanation: A qualitative research design with a descriptive approach is deemed

appropriate for this study, which has the primary goal of determining the extent to

which the COVID-19 pandemic harmed the mental health of the students.

Research Sample and Sampling Technique

 A total of 20 Grade 12 ABM students were chosen as respondents for this study

using purposive and convenient sampling techniques.

Explanation: Purposive sampling is used as it gives researchers the capacity to

undertake the best information possible from samples, which is heavily reliant on the

researcher's knowledge, judgment, and intellect. On the other hand, convenience

sampling method will save time for the researchers to gather the data.

 They are currently enrolled in Father Saturnino Urios University, Morelos

Campus, and were selected as the best possible sample to support the study's

objectives.

 They were chosen based on their ability to provide the necessary data and their

availability during the data collection period.
