摘要
简介由于 COVID-19 大流行,大学生和全世界都经历了新的压力和焦虑,他们的心理健康水平也随之发生了变化。由于获得医疗保健的途径变得有限,学生们转而采用其他方法来应对,其中包括吸食大麻。目的确定大流行期间大学生使用大麻与自我感觉精神健康之间是否存在关联。方法: 采用配对样本 t 检验:采用配对样本 t 检验来比较大流行期间不同时间的自我心理健康报告,采用单因素方差分析来比较受访者使用大麻状况之间的自我心理健康报告,并采用 Tukey-Kramer 事后分析来确定组间显著性。收集的所有数据均来自单一时间点的参与者(2022 年 4 月期间的回顾性自我报告)。结果在 103 名自我报告的大学生中,大流行之前和大流行期间的心理健康差异最大。完全避免使用或停止使用大麻的学生(评分最高)与大流行前和大流行期间开始使用大麻的学生(评分最低)相比,各大学生组之间存在一致的显著差异,p = .018,p = .045。与完全避免使用大麻的学生相比,在大流行后接触过一些大麻的学生的精神健康水平更高。结论:不能断定精神健康水平较低是因为吸食大麻。不过,自我感觉精神健康水平较低的人有可能转而使用大麻。
Cannabis And College Students: Self-Perceived Mental Health Prior to, During, and After the Pandemic
Introduction: College students demonstrated changes in levels of mental wellbeing as they and the world experienced new levels of stress and anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As access to healthcare became limited, students turned to alternative methods of coping, which included cannabis use. Objective: To determine if an association between cannabis use and self-perceived mental wellbeing during the pandemic among college students exists. Method: A paired samples t-Test was used to compare self-reported mental wellbeing at different times during the pandemic, a one-way ANOVA to compare self-reported mental health between respondents' cannabis use status, and a Tukey-Kramer post-hoc analysis was used to determine between group significance. All data collected were from participants at a single time point (retrospective self-report during April 2022). Results: Of 103 self-reported college students, the most significant differences in mental wellbeing were reported prior to and during the pandemic. Consistent significant differences were observed between each of the college student groups derived from those students who entirely avoided cannabis use or cessation of use (highest rating), p = .018, as compared to those who initiated cannabis use prior to and during the pandemic (lowest rating) p = .045. Post pandemic mental wellbeing demonstrated a higher level of mental wellbeing among those who had some exposure to cannabis compared to those who avoided cannabis entirely. Conclusions: It cannot be concluded that mental wellbeing was lower due to cannabis use. However, it is possible those with lower self-perceived mental wellbeing turned to cannabis use.
