This paper provides a framework for understanding the emotional and behavioral responses of college and university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. It builds on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Phases of Disaster Model and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Additionally, we conceptualize a new phase in the Phases of Disaster Model, which we refer to as the “Sandbar Phase,” to address the unique factors of COVID-19 for college and university students. For each phase, we discuss the expected timeline and the associated emotional reactions, behaviors, and applications of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs during COVID-19 for college and university students. Our proposed model aims to reveal short- and long-term effects of COVID-19 on the mental health of college and university students and be a resource in the development of effective mitigation efforts to diminish any psychological deficits as the result of future disasters and/or traumatic events.

本文为了解 COVID-19 大流行期间大学生的情绪和行为反应提供了一个框架。它建立在药物滥用和心理健康服务管理局 (SAMHSA) 的灾难模型阶段和马斯洛的需求层次结构之上。此外，我们在灾难阶段模型中概念化了一个新阶段，我们将其称为“沙洲阶段”，以解决 COVID-19 对大学生的独特因素。对于每个阶段，我们将讨论预期的时间线以及相关的情绪反应、行为和马斯洛需求层次结构在 COVID-19 期间对大学生和大学生的应用。
