This study aimed to explore influencing factors for the psychological impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on Wuhan college teachers, posttraumatic stress symptoms in particular, so as to inform evidence-based strategy development to ameliorate such adverse impacts. An online survey was conducted from 26 to 29 April 2020, and 1650 teachers (47.54% male; M = 40.28 years, SD = 8.3 years) enrolled in Wuhan universities and colleges participated. The results showed that the overall incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among college teachers was as high as 24.55%, but the average level of PTSD score was low (M = 1.06, SD = 0.72). Logistic regression analysis showed that for those with confirmed COVID-19, the ratio was much higher, up to 2.814 (95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.542, 5.136], p < 0.001); that is, compared with those without symptoms, the ratio of PTSD increased by 181%. For those who had family members or relatives who died of COVID-19, the ratio was 5.592 (95% CI: [2.271, 13.766], p < 0.001), 459% higher than those who had no one who died. But the living places during the pandemic had no significant effect on PTSD. The findings suggest that mental health services reducing PTSD should be provided. Teachers who confirmed COVID-19 or lost loved ones to COVID-19 should be given particular care.

COVID-19 爆发高峰期大学教师的创伤暴露和 PTSD 症状

本研究旨在探讨 2019 冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 对武汉高校教师心理影响的影响因素，特别是创伤后应激症状，以便制定循证策略以减轻此类不利影响。2020 年 4 月 26 日至 29 日进行了一次在线调查，共有 1650 名 武汉高校教师（47.54% 男性；M  = 40.28 岁，SD = 8.3 岁）参与。结果显示，高校教师创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）总体发生率高达24.55%，但PTSD得分平均水平偏低（M = 1.06，标准差 = 0.72）。Logistic 回归分析显示，对于 COVID-19 确诊患者，该比率要高得多，高达 2.814（95% 置信区间 [CI]：[1.542, 5.136]，p  < 0.001）；也就是说，与没有症状的人相比，PTSD的比例增加了181%。对于那些有家人或亲戚死于 COVID-19 的人，该比率为 5.592（95% CI：[2.271, 13.766]，p  < 0.001），比没有人死亡的人高 459%。但大流行期间的居住地点对PTSD没有显着影响。研究结果表明，应该提供减少 PTSD 的心理健康服务。应特别照顾确诊 COVID-19 或因 COVID-19 失去亲人的教师。
