Doctoral students face many challenges that were reinforced by COVID-19-related lockdowns. We assessed this impact over 1 year on doctoral students' depression, anxiety, stress, well-being, and doctoral engagement. We also investigated the potential protective role of self-compassion and savouring on mental health, well-being, and doctoral engagement. A total of 134 PhD students from several French universities responded to the three-time points of this longitudinal study. The results showed a significant increase in depression, anxiety and stress and a significant decrease in well-being and doctoral engagement during the first year of the pandemic. Self-compassion and savouring predicted lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, and higher levels of well-being over time. Savouring alone predicted higher doctoral engagement over time. This study reveals the significant impact of the pandemic year on the mental health of doctoral students, and the relevance of self-compassion and savouring as psychological resources to cope with adversity.
博士生面临着许多挑战，而 COVID-19 相关的封锁进一步加剧了这些挑战。我们在 1 年的时间内评估了这些挑战对博士生的抑郁、焦虑、压力、幸福感和博士学业投入的影响。我们还研究了自我同情和品味对心理健康、幸福感和博士学业投入的潜在保护作用。共有来自法国几所大学的 134 名博士生对这项纵向研究的三个时间点做出了回应。结果显示，在疫情第一年，抑郁、焦虑和压力显著增加，幸福感和博士学业投入显著下降。自我同情和品味随着时间的推移预测抑郁、焦虑和压力水平降低，幸福感水平升高。仅品味就预示着博士学业投入随着时间的推移而提高。这项研究揭示了疫情年对博士生心理健康的重大影响，以及自我同情和品味作为应对逆境的心理资源的重要性。
