The measures to contain the spread of this deadly disease led to the closure of colleges and universities across the globe, disrupting the lives of millions of students and subjecting them to a new world of online learning. These sudden disturbances coupled with the demands of a new learning system and the experiences of living through a pandemic have placed additional strains on the mental health of university students. Research on university students\u2019 mental health, conducted during the pandemic, have found high levels of stress, anxiety and depression among students. In this qualitative study, we aimed to understand how pandemic experiences have affected student well-being by conducting in-depth interviews with 34 undergraduate students enrolled in a UK university. All interviews were conducted through Microsoft Teams and recorded with prior permission. Transcripts of recorded interviews were thematically analysed which identified two broad themes: (i) University students\u2019 mental health and well-being experiences during the pandemic; (ii) factors that influenced students\u2019 mental health and well-being. These factors were further distributed across six sub-themes: (a) isolation; (b) health and well-being; (c) bereavement; (d) academic concerns; (e) financial worries and; (f) support, coping, and resilience. Our study identifies the importance of mental health support to university students during pandemics and calls for measures to improve access to support services through these crisis points by universities. Findings can also inform students\u2019 mental health and risk assessments in the aftermath of the pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19159322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,31]],"date-time":"2022-07-31T23:37:29Z","timestamp":1659310649000},"page":"9322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["University Students\u2019 Mental Health and Well-Being during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Findings from the UniCoVac Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9946-2509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayuri","family":"Gogoi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Sciences, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 9HN, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6699-0479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam","family":"Webb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics and Genome Biology, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1521-9964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manish","family":"Pareek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Sciences, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 9HN, UK"},{"name":"Department of Infection and HIV Medicine, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Leicester LE1 5WW, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5564-2145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher D.","family":"Bayliss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics and Genome Biology, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lieve","family":"Gies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Media, Communication and Sociology, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2022, March 11).
