摘要

背景:迫切需要了解新冠肺炎大流行前(前)和期间(围)大学生心理健康状况不佳的解释因素,特别是来自代表性不足和少数群体的大学生。目的:探讨大流行前后大学生心理困扰、临床风险和问题对学业成绩的影响的潜在差异和解释因素。方法:采用重复横断面设计,采用2018年8月至2022年7月英国一所大学学生咨询和心理健康服务中心注册阶段的常规数据。使用Wilcoxon符号秩检验来检查大流行前和大流行期间结果的差异。采用未调整和调整的线性回归模型来评估不良结果的潜在解释因素。结果:9517名大学生填写了社会人口学和结局资料,并被纳入分析。心理困扰和问题对学业成绩的影响在大流行前和大流行前后各组之间没有显著差异。大流行前组的临床风险明显高于大流行前后组。较差结果的潜在解释因素包括年轻、女性或非二元性别/性别酷儿、性少数群体、来自少数民族、有家庭费用状态和有残疾登记。结论:糟糕的学生心理健康状况和相关的解释因素在大流行前和大流行期间可能没有显著变化。今后的研究应采用纵向方法和交叉方法。进一步了解大学和学生心理健康服务如何能够最有效地支持大学生的心理健康是至关重要的。

Poor mental health and its impact on academic outcomes in university students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: analysis of routine service data.

Background: There is an urgent need to understand explanatory factors of poor mental health before (pre-) and during (peri-) the COVID-19 pandemic in university students, especially those from underrepresented and minority groups.

Aims: To examine potential differences and explanatory factors for psychological distress, clinical risk and impact of problems on academic outcomes pre- and peri-pandemic in university students.

Method: A repeated cross-sectional design was used with routine data between August 2018 and July 2022 at the registration stage from a student counselling and mental health service at a UK university. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to examine pre- and peri-pandemic differences in outcomes. Unadjusted and adjusted linear regression models were conducted to assess potential explanatory factors for poor outcomes.

Results: A total of 9517 university students had completed sociodemographic and outcome data and were included in analysis. Psychological distress and impact of problems on academic outcomes were not significantly different between pre- and peri-pandemic groups. Clinical risk was significantly higher in the pre-pandemic than peri-pandemic group. Potential explanatory factors for poorer outcomes included being younger, female or non-binary/genderqueer, sexual minority, from a minority ethnic group, having home fee status and having a disability registration.

Conclusions: Poor student mental health profiles and related explanatory factors may not have changed drastically between pre- and peri-pandemic. Longitudinal methods and intersectional approaches should be used in future research. Further understanding of how universities and student mental health services can most efficiently and effectively support the mental health of university students is crucially warranted.
