Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is studied among Dutch and German university students and staff, at the inception of the pandemic in April 2020. The effects of conditions of study and work are studied on mental health, while taking into account the adaptive function of meaning and controlling for relevant demographic characteristics. Results indicate that negative experiences of study and work affect various dimensions of mental health and differ for Dutch and German university contexts. Meaning acts as a resource for mental health, especially regarding dimensions of meaningfulness and trust. Programs for university care are called for in which the insights of this study are taken into account.
新冠肺炎、意义与高等教育心理健康的国际比较
在2020年4月新冠肺炎大流行开始时,对荷兰和德国大学生和教职员工进行了研究。研究了学习和工作条件对心理健康的影响,同时考虑了意义的适应功能和对相关人口特征的控制。结果表明,学习和工作的负面经历会影响心理健康的各个方面,荷兰和德国大学的情况不同。意义是心理健康的资源,尤其是在意义和信任方面。大学护理项目需要考虑到这项研究的见解。
