AB  - This study examines the effect of e-learning crack-up perception (ECUP) and fear of academic year loss (FAYL) on psychological distress (PD). The study also explores the impact of PD on students' academic performance (AP). It uses a quantitative method based on data collected from Egyptian medical university students using convenience sampling. The study utilized 313 cases to get the final results. Using path analysis through analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software, the study confirmed a positive effect of ECUP on FAYL (β = 0.061; CR = 3.069; p < 0.01) and PD (β = 0.098; CR = 2.840; p < 0.01). Moreover, the study confirmed a positive effect of FAYL on PD (β = 0.181; CR = 3.910; p < 0.01), and the path analysis demonstrates a negative impact of PD on AP (β = -0.008; CR = 0.348; p > 0.01). The study's findings assist policymakers and university authorities in reducing PD among medical students by reducing burden and pressure, reducing fear of failure, and diminishing the problems that exist during the online or e-learning process. AP should be enhanced by getting rid of PD, anxiety and stress among students, particularly that which results from and is produced during the use of e-learning and online systems. Finally, the findings of the study contribute to the literature of psychology, management, business, and medical science, specifically in terms of students' AP, PD, and mental problems.
