The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected higher education. Since social distancing and confinement were used as sanitary measurements, universities shut their doors and countries limited academic exchange by closing borders. Psychological well-being or eudaimonic perspective focuses on meaning and self-fulfillment. The practical implications of these data, pushed some universities around the world to implement well-being activities and curriculum modifications meant to promote self-care, lower stress, and generate social support for medical apprentices, with resources, infrastructure, and evaluation; but also, to move from concern to reaction and therefore, to prevention. The disease provoked by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 since December 2019 placed students’ mental well-being in the foreground. From a systematic review of 1316 articles published between 2019 y 2021, 126 of them in their complete version were picked as they met the inclusion criteria to accomplish the meta-analysis of 41, which involved 36 ?608 medical students in 22 countries.
