引言：COVID-19大流行及随后的封锁引发了严重的心理健康状况。到目前为止，阿联酋关于这次大流行爆发造成的心理健康问题的数据仍然很少。这项研究的目的是确定大学生、教职员工在COVID-19封锁期间普遍经历的心理困难以及所使用的应对策略。方法：采用横断面设计，通过在线电子调查收集737名参与者的数据。参与者包括阿联酋大学的学生、教师和工作人员。一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）用于测量一般痛苦，宾夕法尼亚州立大学担忧问卷（PSWQ-16）用于测量担忧，压力情境应对量表（CISS-48）用于测量参与者在COVID-19大流行封锁期间使用的应对策略。数据收集于二零二零年五月至六月期间。结果：60.4%的学生、57.4%的教职工和52.3%的教职工存在轻度精神问题。在COVID-19封锁期间，约32. 9%的学生、33. 7%的教职员及25%的员工感到高度担忧。报告了饮食模式的变化、慢性健康问题恶化、睡眠模式的变化和注意力集中困难。此外，被试在焦虑和应对策略上存在显著差异。与男性相比，女性使用更多的回避和情绪化应对。结论：结论是COVID-19封锁对大学教职员工和学生的健康行为、心理和身体健康产生了负面影响。
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown instigated serious mental health conditions. So far, the UAE data on mental health problems due to this pandemic outbreak is still scarce. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalent psychological difficulties experienced by university students, faculty members, and staff during COVID-19 lockdown and the coping strategies used. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from 737 participants using an online electronic survey. Participants included students, faculty members, and staff from universities in the UAE. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to measure general distress, Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-16) was used to measure worry, and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS-48) was administered to measure coping strategies used by participants during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Data were collected during May to June 2020. Results: The results indicated that 60.4% of students, 57.4% of the faculty members, and 52.3% of the staff experienced mild psychiatric problems. About 32.9% of students, 33.7% of the faculty members, and 25% of the staff experienced high levels of worry during the COVID-19 lockdown. Changes in eating patterns, worsening chronic health problems, change in sleep patterns, and concentration difficulties were reported. Furthermore, significant differences were observed in worry and coping strategies among participants. Women use more avoidance and emotion-focused coping compared to men. Conclusion: It was concluded that COVID-19 lockdown has negatively impacted university faculty, staff, and students in terms of health behavior, psychological and physical health.
