The study focuses on the university students from different public and private universities of Bangladesh through a set of questionnaires according to the guideline of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD\u20107). The result among 15 543 respondents shows that 44.59% are suffering from severe anxiety, 48.41% moderate anxiety, and only 3.82% mild anxiety. The results highlight that all epidemic\u2010related stressors are positively correlated with the level of anxiety. Among the epidemic\u2010related stressors, worry about economic influences during and after COVID\u201019 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.342, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and worry about the influence of COVID\u201019 on daily life (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.340, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) have a highly positive impact on the level of anxiety. Following these stressors, worry about academic delays due to COVID\u201019 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.326, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and worry about the social support during COVID\u201019 (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.321, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) have moderately and positively correlated with the level of anxiety. The study suggests that proper government support, as well as social awareness, should be monitored during epidemics for decreasing anxiety and maintaining a good mental health of the university students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/gch2.202000038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]],"date-time":"2020-09-28T07:32:47Z","timestamp":1601278367000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":111,"title":["Impact of COVID\u201019 on Psychology among the University Students"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8768-8634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bablu Kumar","family":"Dhar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Business Daffodil International University  P.
