To investigate the impact of the pandemic on graduate students' learning activities, a series of questionnaires were distributed to graduate students in universities across China, and 2,818 responses were collected. A latent class analysis was performed to classify the effects of the pandemic on graduate students' learning activities. Then, a multinomial logistic regression analysis and an analysis of variance analysis were carried out to explore the impact of demographic variables on the classification and their mental health status. The analysis identified four latent classes: "the overall less affected" (34.83%), "the overall more affected" (31.97%), "course activities were more affected" (19.40%), and "social activities were more affected" (13.79%). The multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that during the pandemic, the learning activities of graduate students in all grades were affected to varying degrees, and the impacts on second-year and third-year graduate students were greater than those of first-year graduate students. The analysis of variance revealed that the scores for anxiety, depression, and social anxiety of "the overall more affected" were significantly greater than those of the other three groups, and nearly one-third of students belonged to this class, suggesting that more attention and care should be given to these students. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of graduate students have suffered mental problems (anxiety and depression). Under the current backdrop of a new normal, schools and teachers should pay attention to graduate students' mental health, providing targeted assistance to different types of students.
为调查疫情对研究生学习活动的影响，向中国各高校的研究生发放了一系列问卷，并收集到2818份回复。进行了潜在类别分析，以对疫情对研究生学习活动的影响进行分类。然后，开展了多项逻辑回归分析和方差分析，以探究人口统计学变量对分类及其心理健康状况的影响。分析确定了四个潜在类别：“总体受影响较小”（34.83%）、“总体受影响较大”（31.97%）、“课程活动受影响较大”（19.40%）和“社交活动受影响较大”（13.79%）。多项逻辑回归分析表明，疫情期间，各年级研究生的学习活动均受到不同程度的影响，对二年级和三年级研究生的影响大于一年级研究生。方差分析显示，“总体受影响较大”组的焦虑、抑郁和社交焦虑得分显著高于其他三组，且近三分之一的学生属于该类别，这表明应给予这些学生更多关注和关怀。由于新冠疫情，一些研究生出现了心理问题（焦虑和抑郁）。在当前新常态背景下，学校和教师应关注研究生的心理健康，为不同类型的学生提供有针对性的帮助。
