To examine associations among college students' worry about COVID-19, use of healthy and unhealthy coping techniques, and sleep-related impairment. The sample consisted of 366 undergraduate students ( =19.48 ± 1.76 years, 63.4% women; 62.6% college freshman). University students completed a series of questionnaires. COVID-19 worry significantly predicted greater sleep-related impairment (β = .27, = 5.23, < .001). Students who implemented unhealthy coping strategies experienced more sleep-related impairment (β = .24, = 4.82, < .001), whereas students employing healthy coping strategies reported less sleep-related impairment (β = -0.19, = -3.88, < .001). Unhealthy coping moderated relations between COVID-19 worry and sleep-related impairment, such that the relationship between COVID-19 worry and sleep-related impairment was stronger among students reporting average (at the mean) to high (+1 SD) unhealthy coping scores. Engaging in unhealthy coping techniques emerged as a significant risk factor for worse sleep among college students.
为了研究大学生对新冠疫情的担忧、健康与不健康应对技巧的使用以及与睡眠相关的损害之间的关联。样本包括366名本科生(平均年龄=19.48±1.76岁,63.4%为女性;62.6%为大学新生)。大学生们完成了一系列问卷调查。对新冠疫情的担忧显著预示着更大程度的与睡眠相关的损害(β=.27,t=5.23,p<.001)。采用不健康应对策略的学生经历了更多与睡眠相关的损害(β=.24,t=4.82,p<.001),而采用健康应对策略的学生报告的与睡眠相关的损害较少(β=-0.19,t=-3.88,p<.001)。不健康应对调节了新冠疫情担忧与睡眠相关损害之间的关系,以至于在报告平均(处于均值)到高(+1标准差)不健康应对得分的学生中,新冠疫情担忧与睡眠相关损害之间的关系更强。采用不健康应对技巧成为大学生睡眠质量变差的一个显著风险因素。
