Providing tools to students in higher education in dealing with the new COVID-19 situation, through specially developed eHealth modules, in order to prevent stress and mental health complaints.

Cause Students in higher education, like many others, have been affected by the COVID-19 measures. Apart from a stripped-down form of education, students may face problems due to social and financial consequences. Goal To help students in higher education deal with the current situation as best as possible, the Student Doctors of the UvA make free eHealth modules available. The aim of following these eHealth modules is, among other things, to help students cope better with stress and better organize their studies in the current situation. Results With the help of virtual guidance, students were encouraged to get started and continue. This group was generally very positive about the modules. Expectations about techniques to deal with stress in a more structured way and to study at home have largely been met. The conclusion is that recruiting for participation remains the challenge.
