2019冠状病毒病流行期间不同专业大学生心理健康状况调查

目的：了解2019年新冠肺炎疫情期间不同专业大学生的心理健康状况，为大学生心理健康评估和心理危机干预提供依据焦虑量表（SAS）和抑郁自评量表（SDS）以及学生对新冠肺炎的理解。采用方差分析和LSD检验比较不同专业学生之间的差异，抑郁总分为42.51±10.65分，焦虑总分为38.37±7.46分，临床医学专业学生对新冠肺炎的担忧和应激反应水平高于其他专业学生。三组学生的焦虑和SDS评分平均差异有显著性（SAS＜0001，SDS＝0004），临床医学专业学生39.75±7.00，临床专业学生的SAS得分显著低于临床医学相关专业学生（P＜0.001）和非临床专业学生（P＝0.001）结论：新冠肺炎疫情期间，我国大学生的焦虑和抑郁水平高于其他成年人的常模分数。与其他专业学生相比，临床医学专业学生对新冠肺炎疫情的担忧和应激反应水平较高，但焦虑和抑郁程度较低
