Replication Data for COVID-19 Induced DAS

Data was collected through an online questionnaire distributed to final year hospitality students via individual and class WhatsApp pages. The data was collected between 22nd June and 13th July, 2020. The DASS21 questionnaire, consisting of constructs on depression (7 items), anxiety (7 items) and stress (7 items) was adopted. A total of 392 final year students responded. The data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The data provides relevant information on the incidence of depression, anxiety and stress occurring among final year students during pandemics such as COVID-19 and will inform educational institutions on measures to adopt in dealing with similar psychological challenges during “abnormal” periods.
