Abstract

The impact of steps to minimize transmission of COVID-19 has increased awareness of the importance of addressing the worsening mental health of students in higher education as a matter of public policy. Supporting students' mental health and preventing mental illness requires an evidence-based understanding of the elements that affect students' mental health. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to find effective ways to improve students' mental health in higher education. The Design and Development Research (DDR) methodology was used for this investigation. The first part of the research involves the Nominal group technique to present ideas for a solution, and the second part involves how to implement those ideas. While the Fuzzy Delphi technique is used in the second stage of element/solution validation. The participants in both stages of the study were experts in the field who met the researcher's criteria for inclusion. According to the results, seven concrete solutions can be taken to improve students' mental health. At the end of the research, conclusions and suggestions for further research are proposed.
