COVID-19 triggers anxiety and fear due to several reasons, and thus, dealing with it requires prolonged coping mechanisms. When the number of infections soared, to slow the spread, many governments decided to close universities and dormitories and move teaching to online platforms. The majority of the university students decided to move back home to their parents changing their social lives. Here, we aimed to point to risk, as well as protective factors, and understand the influence of these factors on both physical and psychological indicators of well-being. Further, to discover how university students cope with maintaining their social lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We collected online survey data from multiple university sources. Participants (N = 605) completed measures of emotion regulation strategies, knowledge on the disease, contamination fear, perceived social support, worrying and intolerance of uncertainty, quality of sleep, well-being, emotional stability, anxiety, and depression.
Our results showed that the most prominent risk and protective factors that were most strongly associated with the indicators of well-being were rumination, catastrophizing, positive refocusing, and social support from family; respectively.
These results have implications for professionals working with and helping (e.g., as counselors) people during the challenges of an emergency.
由于多种原因，COVID-19 会引发焦虑和恐惧，因此需要长期的应对机制来应对。当感染人数飙升时，为了减缓传播速度，许多政府决定关闭大学和宿舍，并将教学转移到在线平台上。大多数大学生决定搬回家和父母一起住，改变了他们的社交生活。在这里，我们旨在指出风险因素和保护因素，并了解这些因素对身心健康和幸福感的指标的影响。此外，我们还发现大学生在 COVID-19 大流行期间如何应对维持社交生活。
我们从多个大学来源收集了在线调查数据。参与者（N=605）完成了情绪调节策略、疾病知识、污染恐惧、感知社会支持、担忧和不确定性容忍度、睡眠质量、幸福感、情绪稳定性、焦虑和抑郁的测量。
我们的结果表明，与幸福感指标最相关的最突出的风险和保护因素是反刍、灾难化、积极重新聚焦和来自家庭的社会支持；分别。
这些结果对在紧急情况下与人们合作并帮助他们的专业人员（例如顾问）具有重要意义。
