摘要
COVID-19感染对年轻人身心健康的影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查急性COVID-19感染后3个月的体质变化,并探讨感染是否也会影响大学生的心理健康。方法460名大学生(平均年龄18.9±1.3岁)自愿参加研究,其中男性30名,女性27名。参与者最初进行了体能测试,然后在感染COVID-19三个月后进行了另一次体能测试和心理健康评估。体能测试包括身体组成、柔韧性、心肺健康、肌肉力量和肌肉耐力。采用抑郁-焦虑-压力自评量表(DASS-21)、匹兹堡睡眠质量量表(PSQI)和创伤后应激障碍自评量表(PTSD)进行心理健康评估。结果急性COVID-19感染3个月后,大学生的身体机能与感染前相比下降了约3 - 15% (p <;0.05)。在心理健康方面,观察到睡眠质量的显著差异,积极组比消极组得分高19% (p <;.05, d = .44)。性别(β = .164, p <;.05)、既往感染(β = .277, p = 0.019)和焦虑(β = .373, p = 0.002)是PSQI评分的预测因子,占方差的37.5%。结论:与感染前相比,所有参与者的身体健康水平都有所下降,无论感染状况如何。与未受感染的同龄人相比,那些被感染的人表现出较差的睡眠质量。先前的COVID-19感染和较高的焦虑水平可能会导致睡眠质量下降。
A longitudinal study to COVID-19 infection among university students: Physical fitness changes and psychological responses
Background
The impact of COVID-19 infection on physical and mental health of young adults remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the physical fitness three months after recovering from acute COVID-19 infection, and examine if the infection could also influence the mental health of university students.
Methods
A total of 460 university students (mean age 18.9 ± 1.3 years, with 30 males and 27 females uninfected with COVID-19) volunteered for the study. Participants underwent a fitness test initially, followed by another physical fitness test and a mental health assessment three months after the infection of COVID-19. Physical fitness tests included body composition, flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and muscular endurance. Mental health was assessed using the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Self-Assessment Scale (DASS-21), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI), and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Self-Assessment Scale (PTSD).
Results
Three months after acute COVID-19 infection, the physical performance of university students had decreased compared to pre-infection levels by approximate 3–15 % (p < 0.05). Regarding mental health, a notable difference was observed in sleep quality, with the positive group scoring 19 % higher than the negative group (p < .05, d = .44). Sex (β = .164, p < .05), previous infection (β = .277, p = .019) and anxiety (β = .373, p = .002) were predictive of PSQI scores, accounting for 37.5 % of the variance.
Conclusions
All participants experienced a decline in physical fitness compared to their pre-infection levels, regardless of infection status. Those who had been infected exhibited poorer sleep quality compared to their non-infected peers. Prior COVID-19 infection and higher anxiety levels may contribute to poorer sleep quality.
