Results of previous studies examining the impact of the SARS-CoV-1 epidemic in 2003 on university students' mental well-being indicated severe mental health consequences. It is unclear how the current COVID-19 pandemic and the changes in study conditions due to federal regulations affected mental well-being in the German student population. We examined university students' perceptions of study conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigated associations between study conditions and depressive symptoms. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Germany in May 2020 at four universities ( = 5,021, 69% female, mean age: 24 years, : 5.1). Perceived study conditions, as well as sociodemographic information, were assessed with self-generated items and the CES-D 8 scale was used to determine depressive symptoms. Associations between perceived study conditions (academic stress and academic satisfaction), in general, and confidence to complete the semester, in particular, and depressive symptoms were analyzed using generalized linear regressions. Fifty-four percent of survey participants felt that the university workload had significantly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic; 48% were worried that they would not be able to successfully complete the academic year; 47% agreed that the change in teaching methods caused significant stress. Regarding depressive symptoms, the mean score of the CES-D 8 scale was 9.25. Further, a positive association between perceived study conditions and depressive symptoms was found ( < 0.001), indicating that better study conditions were associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Results of the generalized linear regression suggest that better student mental well-being was related to higher confidence in completing the semester. This study provides first insights into perceived study conditions and associations with depressive symptoms among students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. Findings underline the need for universities to provide intervention strategies targeting students' mental well-being during the course of the pandemic.
先前研究 2003 年 SARS-CoV-1 疫情对大学生心理健康的影响的结果表明，会产生严重的心理健康后果。目前尚不清楚，新冠疫情以及因联邦法规而改变的学习条件如何影响德国学生群体的心理健康。我们研究了大学生对新冠疫情期间学习条件的看法，并调查了学习条件与抑郁症状之间的关联。2020 年 5 月，在德国的四所大学进行了一项横断面在线调查（n=5021，女性占 69%，平均年龄为 24 岁，: 5.1）。使用自我生成的项目评估了感知的学习条件以及社会人口统计学信息，使用 CES-D 8 量表来确定抑郁症状。使用广义线性回归分析了感知学习条件（学业压力和学业满意度）与抑郁症状之间的关联，特别是与完成学期的信心之间的关联。54%的参与者认为，自新冠疫情以来，大学工作量明显增加；48%的人担心他们无法成功完成学年；47%的人认为教学方法的改变造成了重大压力。在抑郁症状方面，CES-D 8 量表的平均得分为 9.25。此外，还发现感知学习条件与抑郁症状之间存在正相关（<0.001），这表明更好的学习条件与更少的抑郁症状有关。广义线性回归的结果表明，更好的学生心理健康与完成学期的信心更高有关。本研究首次提供了新冠疫情期间德国学生感知学习条件与抑郁症状之间关联的见解。研究结果强调了大学在疫情期间需要提供针对学生心理健康的干预策略。
