There were no significant differences in K10 mean score or distress level (low, moderate, high, very high) between students in different years of the medical course. In addition to teaching-related changes, other impacts such as loss of peer interaction and social connectedness, and financial stressors including loss of part-time employment caused by the economic consequences of the pandemic have potential to impact negatively on student well-being and cause further psychological distress, disrupt daily life and medical studies. Survey questions included demographic information; self-rated assessment of current mental well-being; the Kessler 10 (K10), questions regarding the impact of COVID-19 on various areas of life, concerns about COVID-19 and activities and strategies used to help with the situation. ./cache/cord-324368-z1sjukgf.txt ./txt/cord-324368-z1sjukgf.txt
