2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情于二零二零年初在全球蔓延，影响所有主要行业，包括高等教育。遏制这种致命疾病传播的措施导致全球各地的学院和大学关闭，扰乱了数百万学生的生活，并使他们进入了在线学习的新世界。地球仪。这些突如其来的干扰，加上新的学习系统的要求和经历大流行病的经历，给大学生的心理健康带来了额外的压力。在疫情期间进行的大学生心理健康研究发现，学生的压力、焦虑和抑郁水平很高。在这项定性研究中，我们对就读于英国一所大学的34名本科生进行了深入访谈，旨在了解大流行经历如何影响学生的幸福感。所有访谈均通过Microsoft Teams进行，并在事先获得许可的情况下进行录制。访谈录音的文字记录按主题进行分析，确定了两大主题：（i）大流行期间大学生的心理健康和福祉经历;（ii）影响学生心理健康和福祉的因素。这些因素进一步分布在六个次主题中：（a）孤立;（B）健康和福祉;（c）丧亲之痛;（d）学业问题;（e）经济担忧;（f）支持、应对和复原力。我们的研究确定了在流行病期间对大学生提供心理健康支持的重要性，并呼吁采取措施，通过大学的这些危机点改善获得支持服务的机会。调查结果还可以为学生在大流行之后的心理健康和风险评估提供信息。
The worldwide spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in early 2020 affected all major sectors, including higher education. The measures to contain the spread of this deadly disease led to the closure of colleges and universities across the globe, disrupting the lives of millions of students and subjecting them to a new world of online learning. These sudden disturbances coupled with the demands of a new learning system and the experiences of living through a pandemic have placed additional strains on the mental health of university students. Research on university students’ mental health, conducted during the pandemic, have found high levels of stress, anxiety and depression among students. In this qualitative study, we aimed to understand how pandemic experiences have affected student well-being by conducting in-depth interviews with 34 undergraduate students enrolled in a UK university. All interviews were conducted through Microsoft Teams and recorded with prior permission. Transcripts of recorded interviews were thematically analysed which identified two broad themes: (i) University students’ mental health and well-being experiences during the pandemic; (ii) factors that influenced students’ mental health and well-being. These factors were further distributed across six sub-themes: (a) isolation; (b) health and well-being; (c) bereavement; (d) academic concerns; (e) financial worries and; (f) support, coping, and resilience. Our study identifies the importance of mental health support to university students during pandemics and calls for measures to improve access to support services through these crisis points by universities. Findings can also inform students’ mental health and risk assessments in the aftermath of the pandemic.
