摘要问题陈述COVID-19疫情预计将对大学生的心理健康产生负面影响，但缺乏量化此类变化的前瞻性纵向数据。本研究旨在探讨2019冠状病毒病疫情期间英国大学生的心理健康和运动行为，以及心理健康和运动行为变化之间的关联。方法214名学生参加了纵向队列研究（平均年龄= 20.0岁，男性= 28.0%，女性= 72.0%）在英国东米德兰兹大学。参与者完成了两次自我报告，在线调查之前（14/10/2019; T1和28/01/2020; T2）和英国“封锁”期间（20/03/2020; T3和27/04/2020; T4）。在每个时间点评估心理健康、感知压力、体力活动和久坐行为。重复测量ANCOVA被用来评估变量随时间的变化，而皮尔逊相关分析测试的协会。结果在“封锁”的前5周，心理健康和身体活动下降（F（2.2，465.0）= 6.6，P结论COVID-19大流行对英国大学生的心理健康和运动行为产生了负面影响，尽管这些结构之间没有发现关联。
Abstract Statement of problem The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to negatively impact the mental health of university students, yet there is lack of prospective longitudinal data quantifying such changes. The purpose of this study was to examine the mental health and movement behaviours, and the associations between the changes in mental health and movement behaviours, of UK university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods 214 students enrolled in a longitudinal cohort study (mean age = 20.0 years; males = 28.0%, females = 72.0%) at an East Midlands UK University. Participants completed a self-report, online survey twice before (14/10/2019; T1 and 28/01/2020; T2) and twice during the UK ‘lockdown’ (20/03/2020; T3 and 27/04/2020; T4). Mental wellbeing, perceived stress, physical activity and sedentary behaviour were assessed at each time point. Repeated measures ANCOVA was used to assess changes in variables over time, whilst Pearson's correlation analysis tested for associations. Results During the first 5 weeks of ‘lockdown’ mental wellbeing and physical activity decreased ((F (2.2, 465.0) = 6.6, P Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting the mental health and movement behaviour of UK university students, though no association between these constructs was identified.
