Background The Covid-19 pandemic caused a rapidly evolving and confused situation. Health sciences students (HSSs) are not immune to depression, anxiety and stress during such a pandemic. We aimed to assess the relation between depression, anxiety, stress and resilience among undergraduate HSSs during the Covid-19 lockdown. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, online survey at a rural tertiary healthcare centre in Maharashtra. Data were recorded from study participants on sociodemographic details using the 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Data were analysed using SPSS software version 15.0. Results A total of 381 students participated in the online survey. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress were 7.6%, 6.3% and 1.0%, respectively. There was a positive correlation between all three sub-scales of DASS-21. On BRS, 5 (1.3%) participants had high resilience, 216 (56.7%) had normal resilience and 160 (42.0%) had low resilience. Those respondents who had high resilience had lower rates of depression, anxiety and stress on DASS-21 sub-scales. Conclusion A proportion of HSSs had anxiety, depression and stress during the Covid-19 outbreak and lockdown. Respondents with high resilience had less frequent depression, anxiety and stress. In the long run, strengthening resilience of HSSs may be useful.
新冠疫情导致情况迅速演变且令人困惑。卫生科学专业的学生(HSS)在疫情期间也无法免受抑郁、焦虑和压力的影响。我们旨在评估新冠疫情封锁期间本科 HSS 抑郁、焦虑、压力与韧性之间的关系。
我们在马哈拉施特拉邦的一个农村三级保健中心进行了一项横断面、在线调查。使用 21 项抑郁、焦虑和压力量表(DASS-21)和简明韧性量表(BRS)记录研究参与者的社会人口统计学详细信息。使用 SPSS 软件版本 15.0 对数据进行分析。
共有 381 名学生参加了在线调查。抑郁、焦虑和压力的发生率分别为 7.6%、6.3%和 1.0%。DASS-21 的所有三个子量表之间呈正相关。在 BRS 上,5(1.3%)名参与者具有高韧性,216(56.7%)名参与者具有正常韧性,160(42.0%)名参与者具有低韧性。在 DASS-21 子量表上具有高韧性的受访者抑郁、焦虑和压力的发生率较低。
在新冠疫情爆发和封锁期间,一部分 HSS 出现了焦虑、抑郁和压力。具有高韧性的受访者抑郁、焦虑和压力发生频率较低。从长远来看,增强 HSS 的韧性可能会有所帮助。
