Abstract

This study investigated the relationships between Chinese adolescents’ mental health status and their coping strategy use in the context of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). A total of 4579 participants answered two questionnaires, and data were analyzed through multiple statistical procedures, including Pearson correlation test and one-way ANOVA. The findings show that COVID-19 generally had minor effects on the mental health of the participants and problem-solving was reported as an effective strategy to tackle the stressors caused by the pandemic. Additionally, avoiding, help-seeking and patience demonstrated similar frequency across participants and fantasying was used the most by those with severe mental health status. These findings will shed some light into how educators provide effective mental health instructions for students, and concomitantly will help in tailoring early interventions that would mitigate the adverse effects of disasters like COVID-19 on adolescents and beyond.
COVID-19 中中国青少年的心理健康状况及其应对策略的使用情况
本研究调查了在2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)背景下,中国青少年心理健康状况与应对策略使用之间的关系。共有4579名参与者回答了两份问卷,并通过皮尔逊相关检验和单因素方差分析等多种统计程序对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明,COVID-19 对参与者的心理健康总体影响较小,解决问题被认为是应对疫情压力的有效策略。此外,回避、寻求帮助和忍耐在参与者中的使用频率相似,而幻想则是精神健康状况严重者使用最多的方法。这些发现将为教育工作者如何为学生提供有效的心理健康指导提供一些启示,同时也将有助于制定早期干预措施,减轻 COVID-19 等灾难对青少年及其他人群的不良影响。
