The COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health crisis. The quarantine measures for COVID-19 have caused harm to the mental health of college students, and it is of great significance to continue focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health.
The data comes from the research group on the impact of COVID-19 on college students' mental health. A total of 2,033 Chinese college students participated in this study, including 1,285 female and 748 male students, with an average age of 19.81 years (SD = 1.22). Using the ordered logistic regression model, the study analyzed the mechanisms of academic stress, employment pressure, and sleep quality to investigate the impact of COVID-19 quarantine on college students' mental health.
Quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on college students' mental health. The impact of quarantine on college students' mental health is economically stratified, with lower family income students experiencing greater effects and higher family income students experiencing lesser effects. Academic stress, employment pressure, and sleep quality are important mechanisms through which quarantine affects college students' mental health.
This study provides new insights into the relationship between quarantine and mental health among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to offer targeted interventions for college students' mental health.
新冠疫情是一场全球公共卫生危机。新冠疫情的隔离措施对大学生的心理健康造成了损害,持续关注新冠疫情对心理健康的影响具有重要意义。
数据来自新冠疫情对大学生心理健康影响的研究小组。共有2033名中国大学生参与了本研究,其中女生1285名,男生748名,平均年龄19.81岁(标准差=1.22)。该研究使用有序逻辑回归模型,分析学业压力、就业压力和睡眠质量的作用机制,以探究新冠疫情隔离对大学生心理健康的影响。
新冠疫情导致的隔离对大学生心理健康有显著影响。隔离对大学生心理健康的影响存在经济分层,家庭收入较低的学生受到的影响更大,家庭收入较高的学生受到的影响较小。学业压力、就业压力和睡眠质量是隔离影响大学生心理健康的重要机制。
本研究为新冠疫情期间大学生隔离与心理健康之间的关系提供了新的见解,有助于为大学生心理健康提供有针对性的干预措施。
