Abstract

Abstract As societies recover from the systemic socio‐economic impacts of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease pandemic, the mental health of the youth must be monitored as they transition back to on‐campus learning. This study sought to determine the socio‐ecological determinants of mental health among Filipino college students after a 2‐year lockdown (i.e., community quarantine). A total of 1204 students aged 18–24 participated in this cross‐sectional online survey research. Multi‐level socio‐ecological determinants were measured, such as individual (age, gender), micro/mesosystem (family, friends and school), exo/macrosystem (national resilience) and chronosystem (life satisfaction change over time). Findings suggest that male students who identify as cisheterosexual (cisgender, which refers to gender identity that aligns with biological sex, and heterosexual, which refers to sexual attraction exclusively for the opposite sex), with higher ratings for family, school community, national identity, trust in public institutions and improvements in life satisfaction post‐lockdown, demonstrated higher mental well‐being. Meanwhile, female, gender and sexual minorities, with lower ratings for family, respect for diversity in school and decline in life satisfaction post‐lockdown, reported higher psychological distress.

家庭、朋友、学校和国家:封锁后菲律宾大学生心理健康的社会生态决定因素

随着社会从2019年新型冠状病毒病大流行的系统性社会经济影响中恢复过来，必须监测青年的心理健康，因为他们回归校园学习。本研究旨在确定两年禁闭(即社区隔离)后菲律宾大学生心理健康的社会生态决定因素。共有1204名年龄在18-24岁之间的学生参与了这项横断面在线调查研究。测量了多层次的社会生态决定因素，如个人(年龄、性别)、微/中系统(家庭、朋友和学校)、外/宏观系统(国家恢复力)和时间系统(生活满意度随时间变化)。研究结果表明，自认为是顺性恋的男学生(顺性恋，指的是与生理性别一致的性别认同，异性恋，指的是完全对异性的性吸引力)，在家庭、学校社区、国家认同、对公共机构的信任和禁闭后生活满意度的改善方面得分更高，表现出更高的心理健康。与此同时，女性、性别和性少数群体在家庭、对学校多样性的尊重和封锁后生活满意度方面的评分较低，他们报告的心理压力更大。

期刊介绍： The International Social Science Journal bridges social science communities across disciplines and continents with a view to sharing information and debate with the widest possible audience. The ISSJ has a particular focus on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work that pushes the boundaries of current approaches, and welcomes both applied and theoretical research. Originally founded by UNESCO in 1949, ISSJ has since grown into a forum for innovative review, reflection and discussion informed by recent and ongoing international, social science research. It provides a home for work that asks questions in new ways and/or employs original methods to classic problems and whose insights have implications across the disciplines and beyond the academy. The journal publishes regular editions featuring rigorous, peer-reviewed research articles that reflect its international and heterodox scope.
