Background: Evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has generally increased levels of stress and depression among the public. However, the impact on college students in the United States has not been well-documented. Objective: This paper surveys the mental health status and severity of depression and anxiety of college students in a large university system in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An online survey was conducted among undergraduate and graduate students recruited from Texas A&M University via email. The survey consisted of two standardized scales—the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and the General Anxiety Disorder-7—for depression and anxiety, and additional multiple-choice and open-ended questions regarding stressors and coping mechanisms specific to COVID-19. Results: Among the 2031 participants, 48.14% (n=960) showed a moderate-to-severe level of depression, 38.48% (n=775) showed a moderate-to-severe level of anxiety, and 18.04% (n=366) had suicidal thoughts. A majority of participants (n=1443, 71.26%) indicated that their stress/anxiety levels had increased during the pandemic. Less than half of the participants (n=882, 43.25%) indicated that they were able to cope adequately with the stress related to the current situation. Conclusions: The proportion of respondents showing depression, anxiety, and/or suicidal thoughts is alarming. Respondents reported academic-, health-, and lifestyle-related concerns caused by the pandemic. Given the unexpected length and severity of the outbreak, these concerns need to be further understood and addressed.

在COVID-19大流行期间调查美国大学生的心理健康:跨部门调查研究。

背景:有证据表明,COVID-19大流行普遍增加了公众的压力和沮丧程度。但是,对美国大学生的影响尚无充分记载。目的:本文调查了在COVID-19大流行期间美国大型大学系统中大学生的心理健康状况以及抑郁和焦虑的严重程度。方法:对通过电子邮件从德州农工大学招募的本科生和研究生进行在线调查。该调查包括用于抑郁和焦虑的两个标准化量表-《患者健康问卷9》和《一般焦虑症7》,以及关于COVID-19特有的压力源和应对机制的其他多项选择和开放式问题。结果:2031名参与者中,有48名。14%(n = 960)表示中度至重度抑郁,38.48%(n = 775)表示中度至重度焦虑,18.04%(n = 366)有自杀念头。大多数参与者(n = 1443,71.26%)表示在大流行期间他们的压力/焦虑水平有所增加。不到一半的参与者(n = 882,43.25%)表示,他们能够充分应对与当前状况有关的压力。结论:表现出抑郁,焦虑和/或自杀念头的受访者比例令人震惊。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。48%(n = 775)表现出中度至重度焦虑,而18.04%(n = 366)有自杀念头。大多数参与者(n = 1443,71.26%)表示在大流行期间他们的压力/焦虑水平有所增加。不到一半的参与者(n = 882,43.25%)表示,他们能够充分应对与当前状况有关的压力。结论:表现出抑郁,焦虑和/或自杀念头的受访者比例令人震惊。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。48%(n = 775)表现出中度至重度焦虑,而18.04%(n = 366)有自杀念头。大多数参与者(n = 1443,71.26%)表示在大流行期间他们的压力/焦虑水平有所增加。不到一半的参与者(n = 882,43.25%)表示,他们能够充分应对与当前状况有关的压力。结论:表现出抑郁,焦虑和/或自杀念头的受访者比例令人震惊。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。26%的人表示在大流行期间他们的压力/焦虑水平有所增加。不到一半的参与者(n = 882,43.25%)表示,他们能够充分应对与当前状况有关的压力。结论:表现出抑郁,焦虑和/或自杀念头的受访者比例令人震惊。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。26%的人表示在大流行期间他们的压力/焦虑水平有所增加。不到一半的参与者(n = 882,43.25%)表示,他们能够充分应对与当前状况有关的压力。结论:表现出抑郁,焦虑和/或自杀念头的受访者比例令人震惊。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。受访者报告了由大流行引起的与学术,健康和生活方式有关的担忧。鉴于暴发的意外长度和严重程度,这些问题需要进一步理解和解决。
