Abstract: Objective: Examining the association between mental health and traumatic stress from COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Participants: 402 international students studying at a large public university in north-eastern U.S.A. Methods: Online survey was conducted anonymously among the participants. Descriptive analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted. Results: The results indicated that the international students may experience traumatic stress from COVID-19 if their mental health is not cared well, and perceived stress and risk of being infected by COVID-19 mediates this relationship. Conclusions: Universities need to respond to potential traumatic stress among international students from the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, especially for those with a vulnerable mental health status. For a future pandemic, perceived stress and risk for the infection can be managed to minimize the traumatic stress among international students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
