A cross-sectional study was conducted. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) was employed to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. The emotional impact of the situation was analyzed using the Impact of Event Scale. An online survey was fulfilled by 2530 members of the University of Valladolid, in Spain. Moderate to extremely severe scores of anxiety, depression, and stress were reported by 21.34\%, 34.19\% and 28.14\% of the respondents, respectively. A total of 50.43\% of respondents presented moderate to severe impact of the outbreak. Students from Arts \& Humanities and Social Sciences \& Law showed higher scores related to anxiety, depression, stress and impact of event with respect to students from Engineering \& Architecture. University staff presented lower scores in all measures compared to students, who seem to have suffered an important psychological impact during the first weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown. In order to provide timely crisis-oriented psychological services and to take preventive measures in future pandemic situations, mental health in university students should be carefully monitored.}, keywords = {Anxiety, Depression, Psychological impact, Stress, University students}, issn = {0165-1781}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2020.113108}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165178120313147}, author = {Odriozola-Gonz{\'a}lez, Paula and {\'A}lvaro Planchuelo-G{\'o}mez and Irurtia, Mar{\'\i}a Jes{\'u}s and Rodrigo de Luis-Garc{\'\i}a} } @article {889, title = {Psychological symptoms of the outbreak of the COVID-19 confinement in Spain}, journal = {Journal of Health Psychology}, year = {2020}, pages = {1359105320967086}, abstract = {We studied the short-term psychological effects of the COVID-19 crisis and the quarantine on 3550 adults from the Spanish population in a cross-sectional survey.
