To compare the mental health of undergraduates before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown to their mental health one year later.
Data from the American College Health Association (ACHA)'s National College Health Assessment III (ACHA-NCHAIII) were used, averaging a sample size of 54,844 undergraduate students and 106 schools nationwide per time point of assessment in the study.
Secondary analyses of the ACHA-NCHAIII compared undergraduates' scores on five measures of mental health measures (loneliness, psychological distress, suicidality, flourishing, and resilience) from Spring 2020 to Spring 2021.
Undergraduates' responses showed an increase in loneliness, psychological distress, and suicidality as well as a decrease in flourishing and resilience.
The worsening of undergraduates' mental health calls for greater action by schools to alleviate students' distress and improve their wellbeing.
比较新冠疫情封校前和一年后本科生的心理健康状况。
本研究使用了美国大学生健康协会（ACHA）全国大学生健康评估第三版（ACHA-NCHAIII）的数据，每次评估的平均样本量为全国 54844 名本科生和 106 所学校。
对 ACHA-NCHAIII 的二次分析比较了本科生在孤独感、心理困扰、自杀意念、繁荣和适应力五个心理健康指标上的得分，时间范围为 2020 年春季至 2021 年春季。
本科生的反应显示孤独感、心理困扰和自杀意念增加，而繁荣和适应力下降。
本科生心理健康状况恶化，要求学校采取更多行动减轻学生的痛苦，提高他们的幸福感。
