This study's purpose was to determine if COVID-related stress predicted suicide risk among college students and if this risk was attenuated by higher levels of social and psychological resources. The sample included 65,142 college students who participated in the National College Health Assessment survey in Spring 2021. SPSS PROCESS was used to test the association between COVID-related stress and suicide risk while controlling for demographic covariates and to determine the potential stress-buffering roles of social connectedness, resiliency, and psychological well-being. Higher levels of COVID-related stress predicted increased suicide risk yet this risk was attenuated when social connectedness, resiliency, and psychological flourishing were greater. Findings indicate that efforts to increase social connectedness, resiliency, and psychological flourishing could help reduce the risk of college students' suicidality under conditions of high COVID-related stress.
本研究旨在确定新冠相关压力是否会预测大学生的自杀风险，以及社会和心理资源水平是否会降低这种风险。该样本包括 65142 名大学生，他们参加了 2021 年春季的全国大学生健康评估调查。SPSS PROCESS 用于测试新冠相关压力与自杀风险之间的关联，同时控制人口统计学协变量，并确定社会联系、韧性和心理幸福感的潜在压力缓冲作用。较高水平的新冠相关压力预示着自杀风险增加，但当社会联系、韧性和心理繁荣程度较高时，这种风险会减弱。研究结果表明，在新冠相关压力较高的情况下，增加社会联系、韧性和心理繁荣程度的努力可能有助于降低大学生自杀的风险。
