ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The aim: To explore the students' mental health in general and their anxiety in particular on remote learning during COVID-19 pandemic. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study is based on the material of 112 respondents (85 females and 27 males), interviewed using The Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale-21 (DASS-21) and SAN - the test for emotional state. RESULTS: Results: There are statistically significant differences between the samples of 1st and 2nd year students in terms of "depression" and "stress". The latter are more typical for second-year students. The article argues that, given the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the disruption of normal face-to-face learning, the true causes that determine the indicated trends deserve more extensive and comprehensive research. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It has been identified that the situation as a whole significantly affected the students' mental health in general and their anxiety level in particular.
