COVID 19疫情迫使大多数国家封锁，导致许多学习机构长期关闭。这种戏剧性的转变导致大学生中精神疾病症状的增加。确定COVID-19封锁期间乌干达大学生抑郁、焦虑和压力症状的患病率和相关因素。我们使用抑郁焦虑和压力量表（DASS-21）进行了为期一个月的在线调查。参与者n=321，平均年龄24.8（SD=5.1）岁，198（61.7%）为男性。参与者的心理健康症状的患病率分别为80.7%，98.4%和77.9%，分别为抑郁，高度焦虑和压力。多元逻辑回归分析发现，男性的心理健康症状之间存在统计学显著相关性。（抑郁=2.97[1.61-5.48]和压力=1.90[1.07-3.35]），参与休闲活动（抑郁= 1.87[1.01-3.49]和压力=1.98[1.10-3.56]），并入围（压力=0.55[0.31- 0.97]）。使用成瘾物质似乎可以在短期内缓解抑郁、焦虑和压力的症状。这项研究的结果表明，在COVID-19封锁期间，大学生中抑郁、焦虑和压力症状的患病率很高。所有利益攸关方都应监测学生的心理健康，特别是随着疫情的发展。
COVID19 pandemic forced most countries to lockdown, leading to the prolonged closure of many learning institutions. This dramatic shift led to increase of mental illness symptoms among university students. To determine the prevalence and factors associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress among Uganda's university students during the COVID-19 lockdown. We conducted a one-month online survey using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Participants n=321 were enrolled with mean age, 24.8(SD=5.1) years and 198(61.7%) were males. The prevalence of mental health symptoms among participants was 80.7%, 98.4%, and 77.9% for depression, high levels of anxiety, and stress, respectively. Statistically significant association between mental health symptoms on multi-logistic regression was found with Males (depression=2.97[1.61–5.48] and stress=1.90[1.07–3.35]), engagement in leisure activity (depression= 1.87[1.01–3.49] and stress=1.98[1.10–3.56]), and being finalist (stress=0.55[0.31- 0.97]). Use of addictive substances seem to potentially alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in the short term. The findings of this study suggest a high prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress among university students during the COVID-19 lockdown. Students' mental health should be monitored by all stakeholders, especially as the pandemic progresses.
