Abstract

Objective

We categorized levels of self-reported stress, anxiety, worry, and sleep among US college and university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

We conducted an anonymous online survey between May 7 and June 21, 2020.

Results

Nearly all participants reported worry about the pandemic. Nearly half (95% CI: 43.3–51.3) reported moderate-to-severe anxiety, and 42.0% (95% CI: 38.0–45.9) reported experiencing poor sleep quality. Those with moderate-to-severe anxiety were more likely (OR: 3.3; 95% CI: 2.4–4.7) to report poor sleep quality than those with less anxiety. Moderate or extreme worry about the pandemic was associated with poor sleep quality (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.1–2.1).

Conclusions

Our survey found high levels of stress, worry, anxiety, and poor sleep among US college and university students during the early months of the pandemic. Universities should prioritize access to resources for healthy coping to help students manage anxiety and improve sleep quality as the pandemic continues.

COVID-19 大流行期间大学生的压力、焦虑和睡眠

摘要

客观的

我们对 COVID-19 大流行期间美国大学生自我报告的压力、焦虑、担忧和睡眠水平进行了分类。

方法

我们于2020年5月7日至6月21日期间进行了一项匿名在线调查。

结果

几乎所有参与者都表示对这一流行病感到担忧。近一半（95% CI：43.3-51.3）的人报告有中度至重度焦虑，42.0%（95% CI：38.0-45.9）的人报告睡眠质量差。与焦虑程度较低的人相比，中度至重度焦虑的人更有可能（OR：3.3；95% CI：2.4-4.7）报告睡眠质量较差。对流感大流行的中度或极度担忧与睡眠质量差有关（OR：1.5；95% CI：1.1-2.1）。

结论

我们的调查发现，在大流行的最初几个月里，美国大学生的压力、担忧、焦虑和睡眠质量不佳。随着疫情的持续，大学应优先考虑获得健康应对资源，以帮助学生管理焦虑并提高睡眠质量。
