背景：COVID-19自爆发以来，对身心健康构成威胁。孟加拉国采取了封锁策略，对日常生活、心理和身体健康产生了潜在影响，本研究旨在探讨COVID-19对孟加拉国学生心理健康和幸福感的影响。方法：2020年4月9日至23日，对505名大学生进行了横断面研究。采用DASS 21和IES在线问卷收集数据。结果：根据DASS 21量表，28.5%的被调查者有压力，33.3%的被调查者有焦虑，46.92%的被调查者有抑郁，根据IES量表，69.31%的被调查者有事件特异性痛苦。将身体症状视为COVID-19与DASS压力子量表显著相关（B = 3.71，95% CI：1.01 - 6.40），DASS焦虑子量表（B = 3.95，95%CI：1.95 ~ 5.96）、DASS抑郁量表（B = 3.82，95%CI：0.97 ~ 6.67）和IES量表（B = 7.52，95%CI：3.58 ~ 11.45）。此外，对感染的恐惧、经济不确定性、食物供应不足、缺乏体育锻炼以及娱乐活动有限或没有与压力、焦虑、抑郁和创伤后症状显著相关。结论：此次COVID-19疫情在很大程度上给人们带来了心理后果，需要有关当局关注，以在心理上科普这种情况。对疫情的看法也可以在心理影响中发挥重要作用。
Background: COVID-19 is imposing threat both on physical and mental health since its outbreak. Bangladesh adopted lockdown strategy with potential consequences on day to day life, mental and physical health and this study aims to explore the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and wellbeing among Bangladeshi students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 9th and 23rd April 2020 among 505 college and university students. Data was collected by using online questionnaire including DASS 21 and IES. Descriptive analysis and bivariate linear regression were performed to examine the association of variables.Results: 28.5 % of the respondents had stress, 33.3% anxiety, 46.92% depression from mild to extremely severe, according to DASS 21 and 69.31% had event-specific distress from mild to severe in terms of severity according to IES. Perceiving physical symptoms as COVID-19 was significantly associated with DASS stress subscale (B = 3.71, 95% CI: 1.01 to 6.40), DASS anxiety subscale (B = 3.95, 95% CI: 1.95 to 5.96), DASS depression subscale (B = 3.82, 95% CI: 0.97 to 6.67) and IES scale (B = 7.52, 95% CI: 3.58 to 11.45). Additionally, fear of infection, financial uncertainty, inadequate food supply, absence of physical exercise and limited or no recreational activity had significant association with stress, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic symptoms.Conclusion: This COVID-19 outbreak imposes psychological consequences on people to a great extent which requires attention from the concerned authorities to cope with this situation mentally. The perception about the outbreak can also play a big role in psychological impact.
