It has been 3 years since the first appearance of COVID-19 in China. During this time, social isolation was widely used as an important method to fight it. However, this measure had many negative effects on the mental health of college students. To better understand this issue, this study aims to explore the impact of social isolation and COVID-19-related stress on psychological distress among Chinese college students. Additionally, resilience has been evaluated as a key component of stress resistance in this situation. Coronavirus Stress Measure (CSM), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) were used in this study. A total of 388 Chinese college students participated in the survey via the Internet. Two groups (isolated group vs. non-isolated group) were divided according to whether they have been isolated from their classmates and families. Data analysis adopts t-test, F test and mediate effect analysis by SPSS21.0. (1) All factors, except resilience, were found to have lower scores in the isolated group; (2) significant correlations were found between all factors; (3) resilience partially mitigated the impact of COVID-19 stress on psychological symptoms. Social isolation has been found to be a significant factor contributing to negative psychological distress in Chinese college students. The COVID-19-related stress may increase the likelihood of psychological suffering among isolated group. Resilience can help reduce the negative effects of COVID-19 stress on college students. Therefore, providing appropriate psychological support tailored to different isolation situations is crucial.
自 COVID-19 在中国首次出现以来，已经过去了 3 年。在这段时间里，社会隔离被广泛用作抗击病毒的重要方法。然而，这一措施对大学生的心理健康产生了许多负面影响。为了更好地了解这一问题，本研究旨在探讨社会隔离和 COVID-19 相关压力对中国大学生心理困扰的影响。此外，韧性被评估为这种情况下抵抗压力的关键组成部分。本研究使用了冠状病毒压力量表（CSM）、Connor-Davidson 韧性量表（CD-RISC）和简明症状量表（BSI）。共有 388 名中国大学生通过互联网参与了这项调查。根据他们是否与同学和家人隔离，将他们分为两组（隔离组与非隔离组）。通过 SPSS21.0 进行 t 检验、F 检验和中介效应分析。（1）所有因素（除韧性外）在隔离组中的得分均较低；（2）所有因素之间存在显著相关性；（3）韧性部分缓解了 COVID-19 压力对心理症状的影响。社会隔离被发现是导致中国大学生负面心理困扰的一个重要因素。COVID-19 相关压力可能会增加隔离组出现心理困扰的可能性。韧性可以帮助减轻 COVID-19 压力对大学生的负面影响。因此，提供针对不同隔离情况的适当心理支持至关重要。
