Abstract

Students with anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic must receive counselling quickly so that their anxiety can be minimised and they can engage in optimal learning. This research aims to determine the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on student anxiety as well as how to counsel students who experience anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study has used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria. This study applies a systematic literature review methodology. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic influences student anxiety. Due to the physical and social limits imposed by the adoption of online learning, anxiety occurs. Due to a lack of support from peers and teachers and a lack of orientation to the school environment, online learning causes anxiety in students. During the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety can be managed by online counseling utilizing various internet mediums. The implementation of counselling must utilise an andragogical approach and be conducted in groups where students can offer positive reinforcement. Counsellors must consider the sort of anxiety a client is experiencing to select the most appropriate intervention.
