摘要

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health crisis. The quarantine measures for COVID-19 have caused harm to the mental health of college students, and it is of great significance to continue focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health.

Methods

The data comes from the research group on the impact of COVID-19 on college students’ mental health. A total of 2,033 Chinese college students participated in this study, including 1,285 female and 748 male students, with an average age of 19.81 years (SD = 1.22). Using the ordered logistic regression model, the study analyzed the mechanisms of academic stress, employment pressure, and sleep quality to investigate the impact of COVID-19 quarantine on college students’ mental health.

Results

Quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on college students’ mental health. The impact of quarantine on college students’ mental health is economically stratified, with lower family income students experiencing greater effects and higher family income students experiencing lesser effects. Academic stress, employment pressure, and sleep quality are important mechanisms through which quarantine affects college students’ mental health.

Conclusion

This study provides new insights into the relationship between quarantine and mental health among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to offer targeted interventions for college students’ mental health.
