The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health behaviors of university students. Thus, factors influencing students' health behaviors during the COVID-19 outbreak should be examined.
To our knowledge, little is known about stress, adversity quotient, and health behaviors of university students in Thailand. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine the relationships among socioeconomic factors, stress, and adversity quotient influencing university students' health behavior during the COVID-19 crisis.
We conducted a cross-sectional predictive study; it was included 416 undergraduate students ≥18 years of age at a university in Thailand. We used descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, and stepwise multiple linear regression for data analysis.
The results indicated that most participants were women (71.90%), and the highest proportion of students were enrolled in College of Politics and Governance (25.24%). Most of the students had a high stress level (M = 3.54, SD = 0.53), high adversity quotient (M = 3.77, SD = 0.63), and good health behavior (M = 3.06, SD = 0.53). Adversity quotient, stress, and current faculty/college were significant predictors of health behaviors of undergrad students (total variance: 37.2%).
Total adversity quotient was the strongest predictor of health behavior, followed by stress and current faculty/colleges. On the basis of our results, we suggested that faculty members, caretakers, and interdisciplinary care teams should consider adversity quotient and stress in developing activities to encourage and promote students' physical and mental health behaviors, particularly during the COVID-19.
新冠疫情影响了大学生的健康行为。因此，应研究新冠疫情爆发期间影响学生健康行为的因素。
据我们所知，对于泰国大学生的压力、逆境商数和健康行为了解甚少。因此，本研究的目的是确定在新冠危机期间影响大学生健康行为的社会经济因素、压力和逆境商数之间的关系。
我们进行了一项横断面预测性研究；研究纳入了泰国一所大学416名年龄≥18岁的本科生。我们使用描述性统计、卡方检验和逐步多元线性回归进行数据分析。
结果表明，大多数参与者为女性（71.90%），学生人数最多的学院是政治与治理学院（25.24%）。大多数学生压力水平较高（M = 3.54，标准差 = 0.53），逆境商数较高（M = 3.77，标准差 = 0.63），健康行为良好（M = 3.06，标准差 = 0.53）。逆境商数、压力和当前所在学院是本科生健康行为的显著预测因素（总方差：37.2%）。
总体逆境商数是健康行为的最强预测因素，其次是压力和当前所在学院。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议教师、护理人员和跨学科护理团队在开展鼓励和促进学生身心健康行为的活动时，应考虑逆境商数和压力，尤其是在新冠疫情期间。
