“…The questionnaire was developed in the English language and consisted of sociodemographic characteristics, 20 items for knowledge, 8 items for attitude and 12 items for practice of preventive measures against COVID-19. The psychological problem was assessed using DASS-21,25–27 which contains seven items for each psychological problem component. The tool was translated to the local language (Amharic) and back to English to keep their consistency.…”

ObjectiveThe central aim of this study was to assess the level of psychological problems among college students during school closure due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic.DesignInstitution-based, cross-sectional study.SettingColleges in the Amhara regional state of Ethiopia.ParticipantsParticipants were college students (N=422, >18 years) who were actively enrolled in the selected colleges preceding the survey.MethodsData entry was done using Epi Info V.7.02 and data analysis was done using SPSS V.24.0. Variables with a p value less than 0.25 in the bivariate analysis were entered into the multivariable logistic regression model. Model fitness was checked using the Hosmer-Lemeshow model fitness test. Statistically significant level was declared at p<0.05.OutcomeLevel of psychological problem.ResultsThis study involved 408 students, with a response rate of 96.6%. In this study, 77.2%, 71.8% and 48.5% of students experienced depression, anxiety and stress-related psychological problems during the lockdown, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression model showed that being female (adjusted OR (AOR)=1.68, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.91), inadequate practice of prevention measures (AOR=1.74, 95% CI 1.01 to 3.02) and living in an urban residency (AOR=0.76, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.94) were independent predictors of psychological problems among students.ConclusionsThe study revealed that the level of anxiety, stress and depression disorders is optimally high among college students. Therefore, local governments should develop effective psychological interventions for students. Moreover, it is important to consider the educational enrolment type and the academic year of students.

“…Other studies have similarly reported that being older and male are protective factors for psychological well-being. [ 16 , 19 – 21 ] It is noteworthy that anxiety and depression did not hinder compliance with strict management measures, aligning with the cooperative attitude toward lockdown measures during that period. Another plausible explanation is that national solidarity against the epidemic instilled confidence in the swift control of COVID-19.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a dual threat to public physical and mental health, prompted an investigation into the psychological well-being of residents in low- to medium-risk areas of China during the initial stages of the pandemic. We administered WeChat-based questionnaire surveys and employed chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression to analyze correlations between residents’ age, gender, education, symptoms, COVID-19 close contact history, information sources, and anxiety, depression, and attitudes toward lockdown measures. We received 10,433 valid questionnaires, revealing 26% anxiety and 19.5% depression. Support for lockdown measures reached 98.2%. Factors such as female gender, self-diagnosed pneumonia symptoms, close contact history, and higher education levels increased anxiety risk. Having a doctorate posed a severe anxiety risk, at 4.5 times (P = .019, 95% CI 1.29–15.73). Older age acted as a protective factor, reducing severe anxiety risk to 0.98 and 0.22 times (P < .001, 95% CI 0.14–0.34). Females with a master degree or below and those receiving COVID-19 information from multiple channels faced higher depression risk. Pneumonia symptoms were a risk for all anxiety and depression degrees. Attitudes toward lockdown measures had no significant impact on psychological status, nor did any of the analyzed factors affect residents’ overall attitude toward lockdown. Our findings underscore the need for increased psychological counseling, particularly for young females with lower educational backgrounds or self-suspected infection symptoms, to mitigate mild to moderate anxiety and depression in future epidemics or pandemics. The public, especially those of working age with doctorates or higher education, bears the highest risk of severe anxiety. Lockdown measures enjoy strong support in low- to medium-risk areas of China.
