Review of Related Literature
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the social health of students in grade
10, particularly those in the grade 10-Rhinestone. The quarantine and stay-at-home measures
implemented by governments around the world have resulted in a significant disruption of students
daily lives and routines, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and isolation.

Research has shown that prolonged isolation can have a negative effect on mental health,
with studies finding higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among quarantined
individuals. The lack of social interaction and in person contact with friends and family has also been
found to be a significant contributor to these negative mental health outcomes.

Problem Statement, Purpose of the Study, Academic Inference
Problem Statement

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread quarantine and stay-at-home measures,
which have had a significant and detrimental effect on the social health and well-being of students in
grade 10-Rhinestone. These measures have resulted in a lack of in person social interactions,
leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness, and the closure of schools and other social institutions
has limited oppurtunities for students to engage in extracurricular activities, form friendships and
develop a sense of community.

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific ways in which the quarantine and
stay-at-home measures have affected the social health of students in grade 10-Rhinestone and to
identify potential interactions that can mitigate these negative effects.

Academic Inference

The researcher anticipated that the Covid-19 quarantine and stay-at-home restrictions would
have a negative influence on the social health and well-being resulted in lack if in person social
interactions, leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness, and the closure of schools and other social
institutions has limited opportunities for students to engage in extracullicular activities, form
friendships, and develop a sense of community. Furthermore, students have been facing disruptions
of their daily routines, increased stress levels, and difficulties in adjusting to remote learning, which
have further aggravated the negative effects on their social health. The statement also highlight the
negative impact on the mental health of students such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness, which
can have a long term negative impact on their overall development and future prospects. Therefore,
it's important to consider the impact of quarantine and stay-at-home measures on the social health
and well-being of students, and to develop strategies to mitigate these negative effects and support
the mental health of students. This can be achieved by providing mental health support and
counseling, implementing programs to promote social connections and community building, and
finding ways to make remote learning more engaging and interactive.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Conclusion

Conclusion The Covid-19 pandemic has presented young people with challenges in terms of
their social well-being. A study titled "The Negative Effect of the Covid-19 Quarantine and Stay-at-Home
Scheme to the Social Health of the Students in Grade 10 Rhinestone" was conducted in a local setting,
specifically at MOGCHS, Diel Building, focusing on Grade 10 Rhinestone students. The purpose of this
study was to examine the negative consequences of quarantine on the social health of students. Among
the anticipated detrimental effects of quarantine on young people's social health is a decrease in
confidence. To achieve this study's objectives, the researcher employed a combination of survey and
interview methods to collect necessary data. The survey method was utilized to gather quantitative
data, while the interview method was employed to gather qualitative data. The researcher presented
graphs to aid in the interpretation of the study findings.

During the survey, out of all the total students only some of the students responded in the
survey papers. Of all the total students, some of the students have reached the age of fifteen, and many
of them reached the age of sixteen. And there is one student reached the age of seventeen and
eighteen. In the survey, the respondents are asked if they have been affected by the pandemic and
every single one of the students, many students picked the answer "yes". Additionally, more of the
students reported that they experienced more isolated from their friends because of pandemic. Due to
the pandemic, many students had missed out on their important social events. Some of the students,
had experienced increased conflict with their family members. Many students, reported that they had
to cancel or postpone their plans with their friends due to pandemic. Furthermore, some of the students
had felt more lonely since the pandemic started. More of the students, claimed that they found it harder
to maintain their social connections with their friends. More of the students stated that, they had noticed
a change in their social life since the pandemic started. Although the students experienced the negative
effects, all of the students still succeeded in completing their assigned task. In addition, only some of
the students claim that the pandemic affected their social health. Now let's move on to the interview
data gathered. Based on the collected data, the researcher had the opportunity to interview only three
out of the ten eligible students from Grade 10 Rhinestone who participated in the study. Among the
twenty-five students who responded to the survey, a majority of them reported experiencing negative
effects. The data suggests that some respondents are more comfortable expressing themselves online
rather than in person, leading to difficulties in interacting with acquaintances and initiating
conversations. One participant mentioned struggling with engaging in conversations, conveying
information, and understanding others' emotions. It is evident from his statement that the effects of
staying at home have adversely impacted his social well-being. The study highlights the significant
influence of the negative consequences of stay-at-home measures on students' ability to hold
conversations, convey information, and confidently engage in normal social interactions.

Throughout the pandemic, students have faced prolonged isolation, limited social interactions,
and disruptions to their education. These challenges have had a significant impact on their well-being.
As social beings, students rely on face-to-face interactions, peer support, and a sense of belonging to
succeed academically and emotionally. Unfortunately, the quarantine measures have deprived them of
these crucial social experiences. Consequently, the students have experienced heightened feelings of
loneliness, anxiety, and depression as a result of the pandemic's effects on their social lives.
Recommendations
18 | P a g e
 The participant one advises that he would like to recommend a free chat group on a platform
where are one can talk on another person during google meet. The researcher advise to other student
who are negatively affected their social health due to covid-19 quarantine is to try to socialize and make
friends that can understand the students. The ability to socialize is a great move to make friends and
can develop great confidence and try to open up with your friends, and family members. Don’t be afraid
to share your thoughts, socialize with other people, and try new things.

The researcher suggests that teachers should possess a comprehensive understanding of

young individuals. It is important for educators to establish an environment where students feel secure
and protected. It is highly recommended to cultivate an atmosphere characterized by kindness, love,
and empathy, thereby creating a nurturing space resembling a home where students can experience
safety and ease.

The researcher encountered initial challenges while conducting the study, primarily concerning
the timely completion of the research. The researcher humbly advises that it is crucial to finish the
research portion as soon as possible, without waiting until the deadline approaches. Another obstacle
faced by the researcher was a limited timeframe due to a lack of active listening during discussions
with the teacher. Instead, they relied on their classmate's progress, hindering their understanding of the
research process. The researcher now suggests actively listening to the teacher during discussions
and resorting to internet searches to comprehend and complete the research tasks. In terms of future
research, the researcher recommends investigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 quarantine and
the stay-at-home scheme. This topic is both easily accessible and significant since numerous students
have experienced its negative impacts.
