In gathering the data, the study utilized the standardized survey questionnaire of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales 42 (DASS-42) to evaluate the students DAS level. The data compilation used online questionnaires through the platform Google Forms. The study reported a significantly high level of depression, anxiety and stress from the sample population. The result of the study found that levels of depression, anxiety and stress vary from age, gender, educational level and grade/strand/course program.

Moreover, students regardless of educational level and strand/course program experience significantly severe level of anxiety. In conclusion, COVID-19 is an epidemiological crisis that is casting a shadow to students’ DAS level.
