Mental health care for students in general, particularly anxiety, is a significant problem that needs more attention, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of anxiety and examine the associated factors among students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2021 among 5730 students. An online survey was used to collect sociodemographic information, and the generalized anxiety disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) was used to assess anxiety symptoms among Vietnamese students. Results showed that the prevalence of anxiety among study participants was 16.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 15.3%-17.2%). Factors related to anxiety among students were gender, type of housemate, COVID-19 exposure/infection status, vaccination status, health status, academic performance, and social relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant number of students experienced anxiety during COVID-19, and this rate was related to several factors. Psychological interventions are required to support students during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and other health crises. Further studies are required to confirm our findings.
总体而言，学生的心理健康护理，特别是焦虑问题，是一个需要更多关注的重要问题，尤其是在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间。本研究旨在描述 COVID-19 大流行期间越南学生的焦虑症患病率，并探讨其相关因素。2021 年 8 月至 9 月期间，对 5730 名学生进行了一项横断面研究。采用在线调查收集学生的社会人口学信息，采用广泛性焦虑障碍量表（GAD-7）评估越南学生的焦虑症状。结果显示，研究参与者中焦虑症的患病率为 16.2%（95%置信区间：15.3%-17.2%）。与学生焦虑相关的因素有性别、室友类型、COVID-19 暴露/感染状况、疫苗接种状况、健康状况、学业成绩以及 COVID-19 大流行期间的社会关系。在 COVID-19 期间，相当多的学生经历了焦虑，而且这一比例与几个因素有关。需要进行心理干预，以在 COVID-19 大流行期间和之后为学生提供支持，以及应对其他卫生危机。需要进一步的研究来证实我们的发现。
