Mental Health Among University Students, Using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire.

Context: To date, researchers have found that poor mental health was common during the COVID-19 epidemic. Even if they had been relatively resistant to suicidal ideation during the first three waves of the pandemic, university students may experience a delayed impact on their mental health. Objective: The study intended to measure mental health among university students in Wuhu City, China and to identify an effective approach to universities can use to prevent mental-health issues. Design: The research team performed a cross-sectional study. Setting: The study took place at Anhui polytechnic university, Wuhu, China. Participants: Participants were 2371 students at Anhui polytechnic university in Wuhu city, China. Outcome Measures: The research team used the two-item General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) to measure participants' mental health. Results: Among the 2371 participants, 1727 had poor mental health (72.84%), including 843 males (48.81%) and 884 females (51.19%). Poor mental health was significantly associated with an urban residential location (P > .01), the female gender (p>0.01), the second school year (P > .01), and the parents' education level of junior high school or below (both P > .01). Conclusions: The current study suggests that poor mental health among university students is common. Being female, from an urban area, and in the second year of school and having parents with an education of junior high school or below had poorer mental health than those who were male, from the countryside, and in the first year of school and who had parents with a higher level of education.

The mediating role of coping strategies between depression and social support and the moderating effect of the parent–child relationship in college students returning to school: During the period of the regular prevention and control of COVID-19

Objective According to the WHO, compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, young people showed a significant increase in depressive symptoms. In light of the recent coronavirus pneumonia pandemic, this study was conducted to determine how social support, coping style, parent-child relationships, and depression are associated. We investigated how these factors interacted and affected the prevalence of depression during this challenging and unheard-of time. Our research may help both individuals and healthcare professionals better comprehend and assist those who are coping with the pandemic's psychological effects. Design and main outcome measures 3,763 students from a medical college in Anhui Province were investigated with Social Support Rate Scale, Trait Coping Style Questionnaire, and Self-rating Depression Scale. Results When the pandemic situation was normalizing, social support was associated with depression and the coping style of college students (p < 0.01). During the period of pandemic normalization, the parent–child relationship moderated the relationship between social support and positive coping (t = −2.45, p < 0.05);the parent–child relationship moderated the relationship between social support and negative coping (t = −4.29, p < 0.01);and the parent–child relationship moderated the association between negative coping and depression (t = 2.08, p < 0.05). Conclusion Social support has an impact on depression in the period of the regular prevention and control of COVID-19 through the mediating role of coping style and the moderating effect of the parent–child relationship.

Sleep Quality Of College Students During COVID-19 Outbreak In China: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction * Poor sleep quality among college students is a global problem. Chinese college students were required to home quarantine, social distance and participate in online learning during the COVID-19 epidemic. This study aimed to investigate the sleep quality of college students during the epidemic and identify the factors related to poor sleep quality. Methods · Study participants completed an online survey that included questionnaires about sleep symptoms and lifestyle during the COVID-19 outbreak. The study participants included 3416 college students (mean age 20.4 ± 1.8 years). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality, and a PSQI score >7 was defined as poor sleep quality. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors related to sleep quality. Results · The percentage of college students with poor sleep quality was 15.97 % in southern Anhui province during the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the students were female (67.4%) and most were from urban areas (53.9%). Single-parent (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.39;95% CI, 1.02-1.89) domestic violence incidents ≥5×/yr (aOR, 3.68;95% CI, 1.70 to 7.96), nap time >4 hr/d (aOR, 1.90;95% CI, 25-2.90) were significantly associated with poor sleep quality. While knowledge of COVID-19 was prevalent (aOR, 0.71;95% CI, 0.53 to 0.96) light exercise >1 hour/day (aOR, 0.47;95% CI, 0.28 to 0.78), parent-accompanied exercise >3×/wk (aOR, 0.59;95% CI, 0.38 to 0.90) were protective factors against poor sleep quality. Conclusions · The present study found that college students in single-parent families and students who had experienced domestic violence had a high risk of poor sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. College students who were familiar with COVID-19 and had light exercise habits or parent-accompanied exercise habits had better sleep quality. At the time of writing, COVID-19 was still pandemic worldwide, so targeted sleep health interventions must be established to actively guide college students' healthy living habits. In addition, the sleep disorders and other health problems that may occur in college students should be dealt with in advance, and should be part of the routine work of global disease prevention.
