This study was performed in the form of a literature review. Data was collected from the databases provided by Centria University of Applied Sciences: CINAHL, PubMed, Sage Journals and Science Direct. A total of five articles have been selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inductive content analysis was used in analysing the data by creating categories, abstractions and by explaining the results.
The results of the study show that the causes of stress in university students dealing with COVID-19 can be broadly divided into external and internal factors. Moreover, the study further indicates some solutions to help university students to be able to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.
