This study aims to examine the relation between COVID-19-related stressors and mental health among Chinese college students during the pandemic outbreaks, and the possible mediator or moderator between them. Five hundred and fifty Chinese college students were invited to complete an anonymous survey, and the data were analyzed with SPSS 16.0 software. The results shows that the number of stressors has a negative direct and indirect (through risk perception of being infected with COVID-19 disease) impacts on college students' mental health. Adaptive coping is a protective factor of students' mental health, and could be regarded as a buffer that attenuates the negative effect of the COVID-19-related stressors on risk perception of being infected with COVID-19 disease (or mental health). With regard to demographic variables, females, junior and senior students, or students whose family residence was worst hit by the pandemic tend to report poorer mental health during the pandemic outbreak. These findings enrich our understanding about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on college population and have implications for university counseling services during times of acute, large-scale infective disease outbreaks.
本研究旨在探讨疫情期间 COVID-19 相关压力源与中国大学生心理健康之间的关系，以及它们之间可能存在的中介或调节因素。研究邀请了 550 名中国大学生完成了一项匿名调查，使用 SPSS 16.0 软件对数据进行了分析。结果表明，压力源的数量对大学生的心理健康有负向直接和间接（通过感染 COVID-19 疾病风险感知）影响。适应性应对是学生心理健康的保护因素，可被视为减轻 COVID-19 相关压力源对感染 COVID-19 疾病风险感知（或心理健康）的负面影响的缓冲因素。就人口统计学变量而言，女性、低年级和高年级学生、或家庭居住地受疫情影响最严重的学生在疫情期间往往报告心理健康状况较差。这些发现丰富了我们对 COVID-19 大流行对大学生群体影响的认识，并对大学在急性、大规模传染病爆发期间的咨询服务具有启示意义。
