Abstract

Background: Previous pandemics around the world have shown that negative emotions are intensified in individuals when restrictions are imposed on human daily life activities. This study aims to draw attention to the pandemic-specific factors that might be associated with the severity of depression, anxiety, and COVID-19 phobia of high school students.

Methods: A total of 1431 high school students aged 14 to 18 years were invited to participate in this study using online survey forms. They were asked to fill out a questionnaire about themselves and the changes in their lives during the pandemic. They completed the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) and the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS).

Results: Findings showed that being a girl is an increased risk factor for anxiety, depression, and COVID-19 phobia. In addition, following the official daily COVID-19 data and having a healthcare professional in the building of residence are significant risk factors for COVID-19 phobia. Having a psychiatric disorder, having a chronic disease, losing anyone due to COVID-19 infection, undergoing a COVID-19 diagnostic test, and meeting friends in person are increased risk factors for anxiety or depression during the pandemic.

Conclusions: Changes in adolescents' lives caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are negatively affecting their mental health. Studies are needed to maintain the mental well-being of adolescents under the conditions of this pandemic.

科维德病毒大流行期间青少年心理健康的变化。
背景:以往世界各地发生的大流行表明,当人类的日常生活活动受到限制时,个人的负面情绪会加剧。本研究旨在提醒人们注意可能与高中生抑郁、焦虑和 COVID-19 恐惧症严重程度相关的流行病特定因素:本研究使用在线调查表邀请了 1431 名 14 至 18 岁的高中生参与。他们被要求填写一份调查问卷,了解自己的情况以及大流行期间生活的变化。他们填写了 COVID-19 恐惧量表(C19P-S)和修订版儿童焦虑抑郁量表(RCADS):结果:研究结果表明,女孩是焦虑、抑郁和 COVID-19 恐惧症的高危因素。此外,每天关注 COVID-19 官方数据和居住楼内有医疗保健专业人员也是 COVID-19 恐惧症的重要风险因素。患有精神障碍、慢性疾病、因感染COVID-19而失去亲人、接受COVID-19诊断测试以及与朋友见面都是大流行期间焦虑或抑郁的增加风险因素:结论:COVID-19 大流行给青少年生活带来的变化对他们的心理健康产生了负面影响。需要开展研究,以维护大流行病条件下青少年的心理健康。
