ABSTRACT 

Background and Aims: By May 18th 2020, India investigated 1 lakh infected cases from COVID-19, and as of 11th July 2020, the 

cases equaled 8 lakhs. Social distancing and lockdown rules were employed in India, which however had an additional impact on the 

economy, human living, and environment. Where a negative impact was observed on the economy and human life, the environment got 

a positive one. The impact of measures taken to contain COVID-19 on lifestyle-related behaviour is undefined in the Indian population. 

Methods: The current study was undertaken to assess the impact of COVID-19 on lifestyle-related behaviours. An exploratory and 

anonymous general population-based Google survey was conducted among 1000 population. Herein, the data for the survey was 

collected through a well-structured questionnaire and the channel of data collection was Google forms. In brief, the study was conducted 

among the citizens of the Dhule district, North Maharashtra region, Maharashtra, India. Results: Based on the survey, the participants 

willingly participated in the study. The majority of participants have seen changes in their life after COVID-19. The participants gave 

priority in their life to both Family and Health and Connections and Wealth according to the survey. Many participants learn that we 

need to take mental health seriously to take care of ourselves and devote more time to ourselves. Conclusions: There have been too 

many changes are observed in human life style as a result of COVID-19.

he broad family of viruses known as coronaviruses 

(CoVs) is prevalent in many different animal species, 

including camels, cattle, and bats. Coronaviruses are 

infect and spread among humans only infrequently [1]. By the 

year 2020, COVID-19 has fully grown into a pandemic, 

endangering both the health of everyone and the global 

economies [2]. The COVID-19 virus, which causes the illness, 

was initially discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan. On March 

11th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared 

COVID-19 to be a pandemic. On February 9th, 2021, there were 

105.8 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, with more than 2.3 

million fatalities [3-4]. Due of the unusual COVID-19 outbreak, 

nearly all towns, cities, and villages in the affected countries are 

under partial or complete lockdown for an extended period of 

time, ranging from a few weeks to a few months [5].  

All local and national governments were instructed to close 

educational institutions and impose limits on citizens' freedom of 

movement outside of their homes and non-essential enterprises

in order to avoid communal transmission [6]. There will be no 

significant religious, social, educational, sports, or political 

activities. Undoubtedly, one of the sectors that has been hit the 

worst overall is the aviation industry [7].  

As a result, COVID-19 in India has brought the educational 

system to a standstill [8]. Due to the discrepancy in economic 

conditions among the students in rural India, web and computer 

systems were not accessible to them during this lockout, which 

hindered the whole teaching-learning process and educational 

system [9]. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted 

social activities in India. Large gatherings, festivals, and cultural 

celebrations have been scaled down or cancelled [10]. Personal 

interactions have shifted to alternative forms of greeting, and 

public spaces such as parks and theaters have been closed. Online 

platforms have become popular for virtual socializing, while places 

of worship have implemented restrictions and virtual services. 

The pandemic has emphasized the importance of public health 

measures like wearing masks and maintaining physical distance. 

Additionally, communities have come together to provide 

support and assistance to those in need [11].

These changes highlight the resilience and adaptability of 

individuals and the collective responsibility towards public 

health. Staying at home during the lockdown also resulted in bad 

eating and exercise habits, which in turn led to weight gain, 

diabetes, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Similar 

to some negative health effects, some positive ones were seen 

[12]. People can experience significant psychological anguish as 

a result of COVID-19 owing to a number of factors, including 

isolation, fear, uncertainty, and economic unrest. The COVID-19 

will make poverty, starvation, and hunger in India an even worse 

problem. People may become frustrated and self-harm or develop 

chronic stress, anxiety, or depression as a result of mass 

unemployment [13]. There have been far too many modifications 

in human life style as a result of COVID-19. In this study, we 

looked at how people's lifestyles and behaviours have changed in 

the wake of COVID-19.  

MATERIALS AND METHODS 

Study Setting: The survey was collected through a well-

structured questionnaire and the channel of data collection was 

Google forms. The survey was accompanied within one month 

i.e. June 2022. In brief, the study was conducted among the 

citizens of the Dhule district, North Maharashtra region, 

Maharashtra, India.  

Study Population: 1000 participants (both male and female) 

from Dhule district, North Maharashtra region, Maharashtra, 

India, were selected for the study. Research were disqualified if 

they were case reports or series, or if they had no connection to 

the topic at hand. Each author took part in choosing which papers 

fit into the current review's eligibility criteria. People who 

claimed to have previously completed the online questionnaire 

were not included in order to prevent duplicate responses. 

Study Tools and Technique: The study employed a pre-

designed, pre-tested, and structured questionnaire. An online 

Google form survey link was used to collect the study subjects' 

data. The Google form link was sent just to the primary contacts 

that lived in the Dhule district of North Maharashtra area, 

Maharashtra, India, using various social media platforms like 

WhatsApp, Facebook, and Gmail. A representative from Dhule 

district in the North Maharashtra region was invited to complete 

the questionnaire till 1000 replies (the limit set) were obtained. 

Those who were contacted but declined to take part were 

regarded as non-respondents. There were 1000 persons in the 

final sample. 

METHODOLOGY 

The purpose of the study and the nature of the information which 

had to be furnished by the study subjects were explained to them. 

This pre-designed, pretested and structured questionnaire 

included topics which were related to behavioural, educations, 

their impacts after COVID-19 were studied. The survey 

questions were as follows (a) Will you see any changes in 

yourself after COVID- 19, (b) What type of changes will you 

see in yourself, (c) What will you prioritize in your life after 

COVID-19, (d) After COVID-19 impact of interrupted 

education was?, (e) What do you think about students’ future, 

due to COVID-19, and (f) what do you learn from the COVID-

19 pandemic? Finally, the data were statistically analysed using 

descriptive statistics whereas the responses to multiple-choice 

questions were represented using frequency and percentage for 

every response received. 

RESULTS 

Effect of COVID-19 

Thoughts on COVID-19's effects vary from person to person, but 

similar motifs do show up. It is acknowledged that the pandemic 

has had a terrible effect on public health, caused disruptions in 

daily life, and exposed disparities. People re-evaluate their 

priorities while reflecting on their resilience and adaptability, 

placing an emphasis on the value of their health, relationships, 

and work-life balance. There is a desire for positive change, 

which includes enhanced healthcare systems, addressing 

disparities, and redoubling efforts to promote sustainability and 

societal well-being [14]. Overall, COVID-19 has sparked serious 

thought and a demand for a future that is more resilient and just. 

Based on the data gathered, a total of 1000 people chose to 

voluntarily engage in the study by providing their thoughts on the 

survey questions.  

Therefore, the first question in our survey was, "Have you 

seen any changes in yourself since COVID-19?" From total 1000 

peoples in Dhule district, (Figure 1) shows that 87% of 

participants have seen changes in their life after COVID-19 and 

only 13% of participants did not see any changes in their life after 

COVID-19. There is no doubt that the COVID-19 epidemic has 

altered society on a global scale in all facets of daily life. As a 

result of widespread school closures and mandated social 

isolation measures, one significant change involved the remote 

delivery of education at all levels [15-17]. 

 
Figure 1: Effect of COVID-19 

Post COVID-19 changes 

The globe has experienced substantial changes in many facets of 

life since COVID-19. The use of remote work and online learning 

is one of the significant topics. Virtual platforms have been 

adopted by many businesses and educational institutions, 



Shirsath et al.                                                                                                                                            COVID-19 Survey 

Vol 3 | Issue 2 | Apr – Jun 2024                                                                                       Indian J Pharm Drug Studies | 65  

enabling staff members and students to work and study from 

home. The conventional work-life balance has been reinterpreted 

as a result of this change, and it may change how people work in 

the future [18]. The greater emphasis on good cleanliness and 

health habits is another significant development. Hand washing, 

wearing a mask, and keeping a physical distance from others 

have developed into routines, raising public awareness of health 

issues and halting the spread of infections other than COVID-19. 

Significant changes have also been made to travel and tourism. 

The tourism sector has changed as a result of international travel 

restrictions, quarantine procedures, and health protocols [19]. 

Nowadays, people put safety first and go for off-the-beaten-

path locations that are less crowded. In addition, the epidemic has 

increased attention on mental health and wellbeing. Many people 

now understand how crucial it is to take care of oneself, control 

their stress, and seek expert assistance when necessary. This 

mentality change could have a long-term effect on how society 

approaches mental health concerns. Overall, with modifications to 

work dynamics, health practises, travel habits, and mental health 

priorities, the post-COVID-19 era has brought forth a new normal. 

Beyond the initial phase of recuperation, it is unclear how these 

changes will develop and influence the next years [20-24].  

So, we added a new question that what kind of changes will 

you notice in yourself? As given in (Figure 2) the participants 

saw that about 31 % behavioural changes were observed after 

COVID-19. Physical modifications brought about by COVID-19 

include the placement of safety barriers in public areas, the 

implementation of temperature checks at entrances, and the 

accessibility of hand sanitising facilities. These modifications are 

intended to increase security and lower the possibility of virus 

transmission in public areas. According to the survey, 30% 

population were observed the physical changes in his/her life-

style. People have experienced a variety of emotional changes as 

a result of COVID-19. There have been widespread increases in 

anxiety, fear, and worry for one's own and one's loved ones' health.  

 
Figure 2. Life style related changes after COVID-19  

The social exclusion and isolation tactics have made people 

feel more isolated, depressed, and frustrated [25]. Sadness has 

also been brought on by the epidemic since so many people have 

lost friends or family members. The overall effect on mental 

health has been enormous, emphasising the value of resources 

and support for mental health in these trying times [26]. As per 

the survey, about 24% peoples were observed the emotional 

changes in his/her life followed by 15% population seen other 

changes in his/her life. Other changes brought on by COVID-19 

include a move to remote work and virtual meetings, a reliance 

on online shopping and delivery services, alterations in travel 

habits with less tourism, an increase in telemedicine and virtual 

healthcare consultations, and a focus on personal and public 

health hygiene [27].  

Prioritize in your life after COVID-19 

Prioritising particular facets of life is crucial for general 

wellbeing after COVID-19. Prioritising physical fitness, 

emotional wellbeing, and forming healthy habits should all be 

part of a person's overall health plan. Giving value to family and 

relationships means valuing time spent together and fostering 

bonds. It is important to prioritise work-life balance so that you 

have time for your interests and self-care. Social and community 

involvement should be appreciated since it promotes the general 

welfare and helps local projects. In order to promote resilience 

and adaptability, it is also important to prioritise personal 

development and ongoing learning. In order to maintain our 

planet for future generations, environmental consciousness 

should be embraced and sustainable decisions should be made 

[28-29]. Lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 outbreak have 

been blamed for an increase in domestic and intimate relationship 

violence in numerous nations.  

Aggression at home has increased as a result of greater 

financial insecurity, stress, and uncertainty, and abusers are now 

able to exert significant control over their victims' everyday lives. 

A group of people who live as a single household as members of 

the same family and interact with one another in their individual 

social roles, typically that of spouses, parents, children, and 

siblings. Everyone's family is a very significant part of their 

existence [30-31]. Prior to COVID-19, the people valued material 

possessions as essential components of existence [32]. After 

COVID-19, when we asked the next question in survey form, 

"What would you prioritise in your life?" with respect to COVID-

19, our survey reflects that roughly 45% of participants 

considered the both family and health as on top priority. About 

22% of the population gave priority to health. And 24 % and 9 % 

of population gave priority to family and relations as well as 

money respectively (Figure 3).

COVID-19 Impact on education 

In addition to having an effect on children, instructors, and 

families, closing schools has significant negative societal and 

economic effects. The effects were more severe for 

underprivileged children and their families, disrupting 

schoolwork, compromising nutrition, creating childcare issues, 

and costing money to families who were unable to work [33]. 

Due to the closing of schools and universities in numerous 

jurisdictions, more than one billion young people are currently 

not physically enrolled in school. The regular academic session 

has been interrupted by the lockdown.  

The majority of children in primary and secondary schools 

are deprived of intellectual connections with their teachers, 

which has a negative impact on these kids the most [34]. Despite 

the efforts made by teachers, school administrators, local and 

national governments to deal with the unprecedented 

circumstances e-learning, the disruption in education and 

learning could have medium and long-term effects on the quality 

of education [35]. Education in India has been significantly 

impacted by the switch from face-to-face to online instruction in 

the majority of educational institutions. While there have been 

chances for continuing education during the epidemic, there have 

also been difficulties with online learning.  

Particularly in rural and economically underdeveloped areas, 

access to technology and internet connectivity continues to be 

significant barriers. Additionally, a student's interest and 

comprehension may suffer from a lack of face-to-face interaction 

and practical learning opportunities. To ensure equal access to 

high-quality education, efforts are being made to close the digital 

divide and upgrade online infrastructure. However, this transition 

has brought to light the need for comprehensive strategies to 

address the particular difficulties that students and teachers face 

in the online learning environment [36].  

Higher education had to serve very different purposes in 

independent India than it did during the colonial era. Building a 

self-sufficient, growth-oriented economy, a united country, and a 

progressive, equitable society was clearly necessary. The key tool 

for modernising tradition was rightfully thought to be higher 

education. Educational planners understood the connection 

between education and development and the production of a 

literate and skilled labour force [37-38].  

The school system was primarily affected by COVID-19. 

According to the majority of participants (Figure 4), when asked 

whether the pandemic has caused an eruption in the educational 

pattern, because of some online lectures 25% of them believe that 

it has had no impact on education system. However, 38% of 

participants believe that it has an extremely affect education 

system. While 21% of the study's participants think it had minor 

impact on education. As per the survey, 27 % of people answered 

that there are major effect of covid-19 on education system.  

 
Figure 4: COVID-19 impact on education 

Learn from COVID-19 pandemic 

A common perspective on mental health is that it is a behavioural 

process that enables individuals to balance their needs with those 

of their surroundings or with other needs. A divergence from the 

norm that is either undesirable or problematic is indicated by 

mental health [39]. In few week after COVID-19 was declared, 

there were 1.4 million more unemployed in American country, 

and 33% of them said that COVID-19 had caused them or a 

member of their family to lose their job, receive a wage cut, or 

both [40]. The national unemployment rate rose to 14.7% by mid-

April 2020, the highest level since the Great Depression [41].  

Recessions and other times of widespread work insecurity 

(i.e., permanent job loss or loss of job features) raise the 

probability of negative mental health consequences [42]. Job 

uncertainty is a stressful situation that causes anxiety and 

unfavourable emotions [43]. When we ask another question of 

about ‘What do you learn from COVID-19 pandemic?’ as given 

in (Figure 5) the majority of participants i.e. 41% replied that we 

need a permanent/ secured job. 35 % peoples were replies as we 

need to focus on our physical as well as mental health. Because 

of emergency health issues, 15% populations answered that good 

financial condition is very important. In emergency health 

situations like Covid-19, peoples face too much problems like 

physical health, mental health, job and some other issues. At that 

time physical facilities are fully waste, peoples are focused on to 

live only. Therefore, only 9% peoples were replied that physical 

resources are important.  

Future prospects on post COVID-19 life style and 

behavioural changes 

There are several opportunities for lifestyle and behavioural 

modifications after COVID-19. The epidemic has increased 

people's awareness of health and hygiene, and this trend is likely 

to last. People may develop better habits including routinely 

washing their hands, keeping their surroundings tidy, and placing 

a high priority on personal hygiene [44]. Due to the advantages 

of flexibility and reduced commuting for both individuals and 

businesses, the trend towards remote employment and online 

learning may continue. The work-life balance could change as a 

result, placing more value on remote and hybrid work 

arrangements. The significance of social bonds and community

Vol 3 | Issue 2 | Apr – Jun 2024                                                                                       Indian J Pharm Drug Studies | 67  

has also been emphasised by the pandemic. Spending quality 

time with family and friends, fostering relationships, and taking 

part in community activities could become more important to 

people. Local and small companies might experience a comeback as 

people place a higher priority on helping their communities [45]. 

Positive changes may also occur in terms of mental health 

assistance and awareness. The pandemic has highlighted the 

significance of mental health, and there may now be a greater 

acceptance and willingness to prioritise mental health, seek 

counselling, and engage in self-care. The pandemic has also 

increased environmental awareness. More sustainable 

behaviours could be adopted by people and groups, like cutting 

back on travel, adopting online meetings, and making eco-

friendly decisions. The preservation and resilience of the 

environment may be receiving more attention. It is crucial to 

remember that the future is unpredictable and that the pandemic's 

long-term effects on way of life and behaviour are still 

developing. Continuous monitoring, adaptability, and reactivity 

to new trends and difficulties will be necessary for adaptation to 

these changes [46]. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided individuals, 

communities, and governments with a wealth of new 

information. It has emphasised the value of prepared, well-

coordinated responses to public health crises [47]. The pandemic 

has made it clearer than ever before how important it is to invest 

in research and development and have reliable healthcare systems 

that are accessible to everyone. In order to effectively address 

global health problems, it has also emphasised the need of 

international cooperation and information exchange [48]. The 

epidemic has also taught us the importance of adaptability, 

inventiveness, and resilience in surviving unpredictable and 

difficult times. It serves as a reminder to put people's health first, 

improve the public health system, and be more ready for crisis 

situations in the future [49]. 

 
Figure 5: learn from COVID-19 pandemic 

DISCUSIONS  

Due of the unusual COVID-19 outbreak, nearly all towns, cities, 

and villages in the affected countries are under partial or 

complete lockdown for an extended period of time, ranging from 

a few weeks to a few months. All local and national governments 

were instructed to close educational institutions and impose 

limits on citizens' freedom of movement outside of their homes 

and non-essential enterprises in order to avoid communal 

transmission. Staying at home during the lockdown also resulted 

in bad eating and exercise habits, which in turn led to weight gain, 

diabetes, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.  

Similar to some negative health effects, some positive ones 

were seen. People can experience significant psychological 

anguish as a result of COVID-19 owing to a number of factors, 

including isolation, fear, uncertainty, and economic unrest. 

Without a question, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed 

society globally in all aspects of day-to-day living. One notable 

shift that resulted from the widespread closure of schools and the 

imposition of social isolation measures was the remote delivery 

of education at all levels.  

These days, people prioritize their safety and choose less-

traveled, off-the-beaten-path areas. Furthermore, the epidemic 

has drawn more focus to mental health and wellness. Nowadays, 

a lot of people realize how important it is to look after oneself, 

manage stress, and seek professional help when needed. This 

shift in perspective may have a lasting impact on how society 

views mental health issues. The pandemic has brought attention 

to the importance of mental health, and people may now be more 

willing and accepting to prioritize mental health, seek counseling, 

and take care of themselves. Environmental awareness has also 

grown as a result of the pandemic. Individuals and organizations 

should embrace more environmentally friendly practices such as 

reducing travel, switching to online meetings, and making more 

eco-friendly choices.  

CONCLUSION 

Since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, 

it has caused significant loss in human lives and also affected 

their livelihoods. Several efforts have been made to combat the 

epidemic in this area. Moreover, many efforts have been made 

worldwide to develop sustainable solutions to overcome the 

epidemic. In this present study, we assessed participants' general 

attitudes after the post-Covid period. From the results, it was 

observed that most of the participants show positive affirmations 

towards behavioural changes. Many participants prioritize both 

their family and health and connections and wealth. Majority of 

the participants observed that education has been completely 

disrupted after COVID-19. Many participants learn that they 

need to take mental health seriously in order to take care of 

themselves and have more time for themselves. Our results 

indicated that the Covid-19 was affected significantly the mental, 

psychological behaviour and educational characteristics etc. of 

the human population.
