Elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and depression are common symptoms in graduate students pursuing a degree in the health care professions. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic likely complicated these existing issues.
To confirm this hypothesis, researchers created a survey to examine the experiences of graduate nursing students during COVID-19.
Graduate nursing students (n = 222) completed the survey, which included 2 instruments: the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Impact of Events Scale (IES-R).
Nearly 25% of students expressed moderate to extremely severe levels of negative emotional states on the DASS-21, and 23.8% of students scored within the area of clinical concern for the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder on the IES-R.
Understanding levels of mental health and associated factors that may contribute to changes can assist administration, faculty, and staff in targeting resources and interventions to support graduate nursing students to continue their education.
在攻读医疗保健专业学位的研究生中，压力、焦虑和抑郁水平升高是常见症状。COVID-19 大流行的爆发可能使这些现有问题更加复杂。
为了证实这一假设，研究人员创建了一项调查，以研究 COVID-19 期间研究生护理学生的经历。
研究生护理学生（n=222）完成了调查，其中包括 2 项工具：抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS-21）和事件影响量表（IES-R）。
近 25%的学生在 DASS-21 上表现出中度至极度严重的负面情绪状态，23.8%的学生在 IES-R 上的创伤后应激障碍得分处于临床关注区域。
了解心理健康水平和可能导致变化的相关因素，可以帮助管理人员、教师和工作人员确定资源和干预措施的重点，以支持研究生护理学生继续他们的教育。
