自二零一九年十二月以来，COVID-19疫情一直在中国及世界其他地区蔓延。疫情带来的不仅是感染死亡的风险，还有难以承受的心理压力。采用整群抽样方法对长治医学院在校大学生进行抽样调查。他们回答了一个问卷包，其中包括7项广泛性焦虑症量表（GAD-7）和那些询问参与者的基本信息。共收到7,143条回复。结果显示，0.9%的受访者经历了严重的焦虑，2.7%的中度焦虑，21.3%的轻度焦虑。居住在城市（OR = 0.810，95%CI = 0.709 ~ 0.925）、家庭收入稳定（OR = 0.726，95%CI = 0.645 ~ 0.817）、与父母同住（OR = 0.752，95%CI = 0.596 ~ 0.950）是焦虑的保护因素。此外，有亲属或熟人感染COVID-19是增加大学生焦虑的危险因素（OR = 3.007，95%CI = 2.377 - 3.804）。相关性分析结果表明，经济影响、对日常生活的影响以及学业活动的延误与焦虑症状呈正相关（P <0.001）。社会支持与焦虑水平呈负相关（P <0.001）。建议在疫情期间对大学生进行心理健康监测。
A COVID-19 epidemic has been spreading in China and other parts of the world since December 2019. The epidemic has brought not only the risk of death from infection but also unbearable psychological pressure. We sampled college students from Changzhi medical college by using cluster sampling. They responded to a questionnaire packet that included the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and those inquiring the participants' basic information. We received 7,143 responses. Results indicated that 0.9% of the respondents were experiencing severe anxiety, 2.7% moderate anxiety, and 21.3% mild anxiety. Moreover, living in urban areas (OR = 0.810, 95% CI = 0.709 - 0.925), family income stability (OR = 0.726, 95% CI = 0.645 - 0.817) and living with parents (OR = 0.752, 95% CI = 0.596 - 0.950) were protective factors against anxiety. Moreover, having relatives or acquaintances infected with COVID-19 was a risk factor for increasing the anxiety of college students (OR = 3.007, 95% CI = 2.377 - 3.804). Results of correlation analysis indicated that economic effects, and effects on daily life, as well as delays in academic activities, were positively associated with anxiety symptoms (P < .001). However, social support was negatively correlated with the level of anxiety (P < .001). It is suggested that the mental health of college students should be monitored during epidemics.
