This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms, and associated risk factors among a large-scale sample of adolescents from China after the pandemic and lockdown.
A total of 57,948 high school students took part in an online survey from July 13 to 29, 2020. The mental health outcomes included anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms. Risk factors included negative family relationships, COVID-19 related exposure, and a lack of social support.
The prevalence of anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms was 7.1%, 12.8%, and 16.9%, respectively. COVID-19 related exposure significantly linked to the mental health outcomes (all p < .001). The most important predictors for the mental health outcomes were family relationship and social support (all p < .001).
The pandemic may have long-term adverse mental health consequences among adolescents. Adverse family relationships and lack of social support could be the major risk factors for the post-pandemic mental health outcomes of adolescents.
本研究旨在调查疫情和封控后中国大规模青少年群体中焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍症状的流行情况及其相关危险因素。
共有 57948 名高中生于 2020 年 7 月 13 日至 29 日参加了一项在线调查。心理健康结果包括焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍症状。危险因素包括负面的家庭关系、与 COVID-19 相关的暴露以及缺乏社会支持。
焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍症状的发生率分别为 7.1%、12.8%和 16.9%。与 COVID-19 相关的暴露与心理健康结果显著相关(均 p<0.001)。家庭关系和社会支持是心理健康结果的最重要预测因素(均 p<0.001)。
疫情可能对青少年的心理健康产生长期的不良影响。不良的家庭关系和缺乏社会支持可能是青少年疫情后心理健康结果的主要危险因素。
