When COVID-19 emerged in China in late 2019, most Chinese university students were home-quarantined to prevent the spread of the virus, considering the great impact of the lockdown on young people habits and their psychological well-being. This study explored the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its associated factors among Chinese university students who are isolated at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
4520 participants from five universities in China were surveyed by online questionnaire and the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) was adopted as a screening instrument.
Exposure to virus was significantly related to PTSD outcomes. The most important predictors for PTSD outcomes were parents' relationship and the way parents educated, and university-provided psychological counseling was a protective factor against developing PTSD.
The COVID-19 pandemic had adverse psychological consequences on Chinese university students who were isolated at home due to the relatively high prevalence rate of PTSD which was reported. Adverse parental relationships and the extreme way parents educate their children could be the major risk factors for PTSD outcomes. Psychological interventions need to be made available to home-quarantined university students, and those in the worst-hit and exposed areas to virus should be given priority focus.
2019年末新冠疫情在中国出现时，考虑到封锁对年轻人习惯及其心理健康的重大影响，大多数中国大学生都居家隔离以防止病毒传播。本研究探讨了在新冠疫情期间居家隔离的中国大学生中创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患病率及其相关因素。
通过在线问卷对来自中国五所大学的4520名参与者进行了调查，并采用创伤后应激障碍检查表平民版（PCL-C）作为筛查工具。
接触病毒与创伤后应激障碍结果显著相关。创伤后应激障碍结果的最重要预测因素是父母关系和父母的教育方式，而大学提供的心理咨询是预防创伤后应激障碍的保护因素。
新冠疫情对因创伤后应激障碍患病率相对较高而居家隔离的中国大学生产生了不良心理影响。不良的父母关系和父母极端的教育方式可能是创伤后应激障碍结果的主要危险因素。需要为居家隔离的大学生提供心理干预，应优先关注受疫情影响最严重和接触病毒的地区的学生。
