ABSTRACT

Background: Various studies have examined the psychological ‘typhoon eye’ and ‘ripple’ effects in mental disorders following COVID-19. However, these studies only considered the disorders as entities and assessed severity, and overlooked the differences in specific symptoms of disorders.

Objectives: This aim of the study is to assess the psychological typhoon eye and ripple effects at the symptom-level in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is considered as a common psychopathology following the COVID-19 epidemic.

Method: In total, 1150 undergraduates, including 271 students from the Hubei province (e.g. epidemic centre) and 879 students from other provinces, completed the self-report questionnaire. The networks were estimated and compared using the R packages.

Results: Although the PTSD networks of Hubei and non-Hubei undergraduates were similarly connected and shared some symptoms with high centrality (e.g. flashbacks, irritability and anger), there were differences across the networks. Distorted cognition and no positive emotion only exhibited high centrality in the Hubei network. Physiological responses and exaggerated startle only exhibited high centrality in the non-Hubei network.

Conclusion: These findings suggested that the psychological typhoon eye and ripple effects may co-exist at the symptom level. Targeted and distinct psychological services for college students in Hubei and non-Hubei provinces should be emphasized following COVID-19.

COVID-19疫情后不同地区大学生PTSD网络分析

摘要

背景:各种研究已经检查了 COVID-19 后精神障碍的心理“台风眼”和“涟漪”效应。然而,这些研究仅将疾病作为实体来考虑并评估严重程度,而忽略了疾病特定症状的差异。

目标:本研究的目的是评估创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 在症状层面的心理台风眼和涟漪效应,PTSD 被认为是 COVID-19 流行病后的一种常见精神病理学。

方法: 共有 1150 名本科生完成了自我报告问卷,其中湖北省(如流行中心)学生 271 名和其他省份学生 879 名。使用 R 包对网络进行了估计和比较。

结果: 尽管湖北和非湖北大学生的 PTSD 网络有相似的联系,并共享一些具有高度中心性的症状(例如闪回、易怒和愤怒),但网络之间存在差异。扭曲的认知和没有积极情绪仅在湖北网络中表现出较高的中心性。生理反应和夸张的惊吓仅在非湖北网络中表现出较高的中心性。

结论:这些发现表明,心理台风眼和涟漪效应可能在症状层面共存。COVID-19之后,应强调对湖北和非湖北省份大学生的针对性和差异化心理服务。
