Author(s): Siti Nur Zahirah Omar, Azizi Abu Bakar, Emeela Wae-esor, Muhammad Firdaus Othman

Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. Occasionally, the term of mental health is used to refer to the absence of a mental illness. Mental health or sanity refers to an individual's social well-being, thoughts, and emotions. The outbreak of COVID-19 and the widespread transmission of the virus in Malaysia have deteriorated the mental health of students at UiTM East Coast in terms of family, financial, and campus relocation. The purpose of this study is to determine how family, financial, and campus relocation affect student’s mental health during a pandemic on the UiTM East Coast. The findings indicate that family, financial, and campus migration all has a strong correlation with student’s mental health. Additionally, the study's findings established that family, financial, and campus migration was all strongly associated with student’s mental health. Additionally, the data demonstrate that family and finance have a beneficial effect on student’s mental health. Meanwhile, campus relocation has the most beneficial effect on student’s mental health. We can conclude from these findings that family, financial, and campus relocation had a substantial impact on student’s mental health.
