Statistical analyses:
We used descriptive statistics in the form of percentages to present the
sociodemographic and educational characteristics of the students in
addition to their prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and stress
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Logistic regression analyses were
conducted to determine the associating factors, in the form of odds
ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs), with depression, anxiety,
and stress symptoms. The mild to moderate and severe to very severe
forms were merged in each psychological condition to obtain statistical
power. P-values of less than 0.05 were considered significant. Data were
analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)
released in 2013 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0, IBM
Corporation, Armonk, New York).
