2020年3月，纽约市(纽约市)经历了2019年冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)的爆发，导致除基本工作人员外的所有居民被集体监禁78天。本研究的目的是(1)记录纽约一所为少数族裔服务的学术机构的大学生在新冠肺炎方面的经历的广度及其对他们的影响；(2)探索在长期封锁期间，大学生在新冠肺炎方面的经历模式与心理社会功能之间的关系；(3)探索性别和种族/民族差异在新冠肺炎相关经历和心理健康相关因素中的作用。2020年5月，共有909名不同种族的学生完成了一项在线调查。调查结果突出表明，在此期间，学生的日常生活的多个领域(即家庭生活、工作生活、社会环境以及情绪和身体健康)都受到了严重阻碍，绝大多数人报告说抑郁和普遍焦虑的症状加重。这些生活中断与较差的精神健康状况有很大关系。此外，那些报告通过新冠肺炎失去亲密朋友或亲人的人(17%)比那些有其他类型感染相关病史的人经历了明显更多的心理痛苦。尽管如此，大多数人(96%)报告说，自大流行开始以来，至少有一次积极的经历。我们的发现加深了人们对新冠肺炎对心理健康影响的理解，并为本次调查期间北美疫情的震中提供了重要视角。我们讨论了这一结果如何为支持学生福祉的最佳实践提供参考，并为未来对面临新冠肺炎及其后果的美国学生群体的研究提供基准。
In March 2020, New York City (NYC) experienced an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which resulted in a 78-day mass confinement of all residents other than essential workers. The aims of the current study were to (1) document the breadth of COVID-19 experiences and their impacts on college students of a minority-serving academic institution in NYC; (2) explore associations between patterns of COVID-19 experiences and psychosocial functioning during the prolonged lockdown, and (3) explore sex and racial/ethnic differences in COVID-19-related experiences and mental health correlates. A total of 909 ethnically and racially diverse students completed an online survey in May 2020. Findings highlight significant impediments to multiple areas of students’ daily life during this period (i.e., home life, work life, social environment, and emotional and physical health) and a vast majority reported heightened symptoms of depression and generalized anxiety. These life disruptions were significantly related to poorer mental health. Moreover, those who reported the loss of a close friend or loved one from COVID-19 (17%) experienced significantly more psychological distress than counterparts with other types of infection-related histories. Nonetheless, the majority (96%) reported at least one positive experience since the pandemic began. Our findings add to a growing understanding of COVID-19 impacts on psychological health and contribute the important perspective of the North American epicenter of the pandemic during the time frame of this investigation. We discuss how the results may inform best practices to support students’ well-being and serve as a benchmark for future studies of US student populations facing COVID-19 and its aftermath.
