Investigation on anxious psycology and cognition of COVID-19 prevention and control in college students during home isolation

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the anxious psychology and cognition of COVID-19 prevention and control in college students during home isolation.Methods The convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey by using the "questionnaire Star", the self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used to assess the anxiety status, and the self-designed questions were used to evaluate the scores of COVID- 19 prevention and control knowledge.Results The SAS standard score in the college students averaged (39.07±7.16) points, which was higher than (29.78±0.46) point in the adult norm, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).By demarcating with the standard score 50 points, 7.8% of the college students showed the anxiety symptoms.The change of sleep time, perceived poor health status and graduation grade were their risk factors.The prevention and control knowledge in the medical students was (7.92±1.43) points in average, which in the non-medical students was (7.46±1.42) points, which in the grade 1 students were (7.37±1.55) points, which in the grade 2-4 students were (7.77±1.39) points, and which in the grade 5 students were (8.42±1.34) points, and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.001).The multiple linear regression showed that the prevention and control knowledge score of the college students was negatively correlation with the anxiety psychology standard scores (b=-0.96, t=-5.177, P <0.001).Conclusion The factors of sleep time change, perceived poor health and graduation grade are the risk factors of anxiety symptoms in the college students.The college students have a good score on the knowledge of prevention and control of this epidemic, and the higher the score of knowledge of prevention and control, the lower the standard score of anxiety (English) [ FROM AUTHOR]
