The available literature demonstrates that COVID-19 fear (CV-19 F) may increase depressive symptoms in adolescents. However, few studies have explored the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. This study aimed to understand the role of anxiety and sleep quality in the association between CV-19 F and depression in Vietnamese adolescents. A sample of 685 adolescents, ages 15 to 19 (mean = 16.09, SD = 0.860), was recruited to participate in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale were completed by participants. Results indicated that the link between CV-19 F and depression was fully mediated by anxiety. Furthermore, this indirect relationship was moderated by sleep quality. Our findings provided new insights into the link between CV-19 F and depression as well as highlighted the potential value of reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality in the prevention of depression in adolescents with high levels of CV-19 F.
现有文献表明，对2019冠状病毒病的恐惧（CV - 19 F）可能会增加青少年的抑郁症状。然而，很少有研究探讨这种关系的潜在机制。本研究旨在了解焦虑和睡眠质量在越南青少年CV - 19 F与抑郁之间的关联中所起的作用。招募了685名年龄在15至19岁之间（平均年龄 = 16.09，标准差 = 0.860）的青少年作为样本参与研究。参与者完成了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数、抑郁焦虑压力量表和对2019冠状病毒病的恐惧量表。结果表明，CV - 19 F与抑郁之间的联系完全由焦虑介导。此外，这种间接关系受到睡眠质量的调节。我们的研究结果为CV - 19 F与抑郁之间的联系提供了新的见解，并强调了在预防CV - 19 F水平较高的青少年抑郁方面，降低焦虑和改善睡眠质量的潜在价值。
