In this context, this article focuses on how this health problem directly affects the psychological and educational status of 344 university and high school students in Córdoba, Spain.
Material And Methods:
For the analysis, the structural equation model (SEM) has been used, through the quantification of a set of relationships between one or more independent variables, trying to condense the pandemic scenario and its health, psychological and educational implications.
Results:
The first latent variable "Health" is causal of the latent variable "Psychology", and, of the endogenous variables, "social relations effects", "sadness effects" and "sexuality effects", which confirms that the COVID-19 seriously affected the psychological behavior of university and high school students in Córdoba.
