Abstract

Purpose of review: The main purpose of the study was to assess university students' mental health and identify factors associated with the risk of suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and distance learning.

Recent findings: The study was conducted in spring 2021 and comprised 10 760 Polish students. The survey employed modified versions of the C-SSRS, CIDI, WHO-5, GAD-7, the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 and CAGE-AID Questionnaire and included questions about panic attacks, COVID-19-related information and sociodemographic characteristics. The correlates of suicidality were examined using a series of logistic regression analyses. Almost 40% students experienced any suicidal thoughts and/or behaviours in the previous month: passive ideations only (15.8%), active ideations only (7.1%), plans without attempts (15%), and attempts (1.4%). Following variables were related to the increased risk for suicide attempts: severe anxiety [odds ratio (OR) = 11.39; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.44-90.26], panic attacks (OR = 3.21; 95% CI: 1.75-5.91), and COVID-19 hospitalisation (OR = 11.04; 95% CI: 1.17-104.59). Major depression was associated with passive and active ideations, suicide plans, but not with attempts (OR = 1.37; 95% CI: 0.45-4.13).

Summary: University students present a high level of adverse mental health and increased risk of STBs during COVID-19 pandemic. A suicide prevention program tailored to this population is needed during and after the pandemic.

COVID-19大流行期间波兰大学生自杀的预测因素
目的:本研究的主要目的是评估大学生的心理健康状况,并确定与2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行和远程学习期间自杀念头、计划和尝试风险相关的因素。最新发现:该研究于2021年春季进行,共有10760名波兰学生参加。该调查采用修改后的C-SSRS、CIDI、WHO-5、GAD-7、DSM-5的PTSD检查表和CAGE-AID问卷,包括有关惊恐发作、covid -19相关信息和社会人口学特征的问题。使用一系列逻辑回归分析来检验自杀的相关因素。近40%的学生在上个月有过任何自杀念头和/或行为:只有被动的念头(15.8%),只有主动的念头(7.1%),没有尝试的计划(15%)和尝试(1.4%)。以下变量与自杀企图风险增加有关:严重焦虑[比值比(OR) = 11.39;95%可信区间(CI): 1.44-90.26],惊恐发作(OR = 3.21;95% CI: 1.75-5.91)和COVID-19住院率(OR = 11.04;95% ci: 1.17-104.59)。重度抑郁症与被动和主动意念、自杀计划有关,但与企图自杀无关(OR = 1.37;95% ci: 0.45-4.13)。总结:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,大学生心理健康状况不良,性传播感染风险增加。在大流行期间和之后,需要针对这一人群制定自杀预防规划。
