Abstract

Introduction: Little is known about changes in levels of psychological and behavior impact and coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic among nursing students. This study investigated nursing students’ emotional and behavioral responses and coping strategies against COVID-19. Methods: A university online survey was used to collect demographic information, a history of contact with people who had the COVID-19 for 14 days, emotional and behavioural response scales, and to modify the Brief COPE to assess coping strategies. One-way ANOVAs were used to compare the mean emotional and behavioral responses and coping strategy scores. Results: A total of 396 valid and complete questionnaires were retrieved, with a response rate of 96.59%. The mean ages ranged from 19 to 45 years old (M = 24.14, SD ± 3.68), and the majority were female (n = 245, 61.9%). Nursing students have lower scores of problem-focused copings (M = 1.42, SD ± 0.30), emotional-focused coping (M = 2.00, SD ± 0.26), but higher scores of avoidant coping (M = 2.92, SD ± 0.51). The anxiety and fear were significantly different in relation to age, smoking, and drinking warm water habits, and there was no family history of chronic illness. Problem-focused coping proved to be the influencing factor (R2 = 0.381) for students’ anxiety (β = 0.045, p = 0.004), fear (β = 0.309, p = 0.000), and anger (β =- 0.273, p = 0.000). Conclusion: These results could serve as evidence that hospitals or nursing homes could provide psychological support to students by providing timely psychological assistance, training in coping strategies, and taking a variety of interventions to create an optimistic environment and guarantee personal safety for students.
新冠肺炎疫情期间护生情绪、行为反应及应对策略的纵向研究
导读:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,护生的心理和行为影响水平以及应对策略的变化尚不清楚。本研究调查护生对新冠肺炎的情绪、行为反应及应对策略。方法:采用高校在线调查方式,收集人口统计信息、14天接触史、情绪和行为反应量表,并修改Brief COPE评估应对策略。采用单因素方差分析比较情绪、行为反应均值和应对策略得分。结果:共回收有效、完整问卷396份,回收率为96.59%。平均年龄19 ~ 45岁(M = 24.14, SD±3.68),以女性居多(n = 245, 61.9%)。护生问题聚焦型应对得分较低(M = 1.42, SD±0.30),情绪聚焦型应对得分较低(M = 2.00, SD±0.26),回避型应对得分较高(M = 2.92, SD±0.51)。焦虑和恐惧与年龄、吸烟和饮用温水习惯有显著差异,且无慢性疾病家族史。以问题为中心的应对是学生焦虑(β = 0.045, p = 0.004)、恐惧(β = 0.309, p = 0.000)、愤怒(β =- 0.273, p = 0.000)的影响因素(R2 = 0.381)。结论:医院或养老院可以通过及时提供心理援助、培训应对策略、采取多种干预措施,为学生营造乐观的心理环境,保障学生的人身安全,为学生提供心理支持。
