“…This may be due to that study having been conducted one month after the declaration of a state of emergency in the United States for COVID-19, when the epidemic was still progressing at a high level, whereas our study was conducted when the epidemic was largely under control. We observed that the prevalence of PTSD symptoms in college students was lower than the yields of studies performed during the COVID-19 outbreak, while anxiety and depressive symptoms were in line with or higher than them [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Prior research identified a higher prevalence of mental health symptoms reported by students than the overall population due to multiple concerns about academic delays, financial support, reduced social relationships, etc.…”

In the post-COVID-19 era, significant changes have taken place regarding the epidemic, the economy, family and social life. However, it remains unclear how these changes encompass the psychological symptoms of college students. We carried out a cross-sectional study to investigate anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among college students from 10 November 2020, to 16 November 2020. The questionnaire included a self-designed canvas, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), and Impact of Event Scale (IES-R). Factors associated with psychological symptoms were estimated by ordered and non-conditional logistic regression analysis. Of 4754 participants, 25.0%, 29.7%, 3.4%, 15.3%, 17.1%, and 2.9% reported anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, one, any two, and all three, respectively. In cases with anxiety or depression symptoms, there was a 9.11% comorbidity with PTSD. Factors associated with fears of being infected, social, family, and economic changes increased the risk of psychological symptoms in college students caused by COVID-19. Female college students, identified with anxiety or depression symptoms, were at a lower risk of developing PTSD symptoms (OR, 0.61, 95% CI: 0.43–0.86). Non-medical majors at university, rural residence, higher educational background, fear of taking public transport, and deterioration of family relationships increased the risk for PTSD symptoms among male respondents with anxiety or depression symptoms due to COVID-19. Factors correlated with psychological symptoms had expanded from the fear of being infected to extensive social, family, and economic changes caused by COVID-19. Therefore, screening and interventions for psychological symptoms should be consistently strengthened and more targeted to college students in the post-COVID-19 era.

“…Desses, 31 foram elegíveis, atenderam a todos os critérios de inclusão. Várias pesquisas apontaram que as mulheres são mais acometidas que os homens no que refere a ansiedade (BERNARDELLI et al, 2022;LANTYER et al, 2016;LÚCIO et al, 2019;TOTI;BASTOS;WANG;LIU, 2022).…”

“…Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, houve um aumento na prevalência de sintomas de ansiedade por parte dos estudantes universitários. Diversos trabalhos apontam que a pandemia trouxe muitos efeitos negativos como elevados índices de ansiedade e mostraram que os alunos tiveram menores resultados de aprendizagem, pois esta foi a distância durante o confinamento, em comparação com as aulas ditas normais (MAIA; DIAS, 2020; MASHA; SHAHROUR; ALDALAYKEH, 2022;MOHAMED et al, 2021;RIBOLDI et al, 2022;SAHIN;TUNA, 2022;WANG;LIU, 2022).…”

“…In a study conducted with Chinese university students, women were found to have higher anxiety levels in the early and middle stages of the pandemic (X. Wang & Liu, 2022). Similarly, another study touched upon the possibility that women are psychologically more vulnerable than men, and it was reported that women experienced higher levels of fear, stress, anxiety, and depression during the Covid‐19 outbreak (Broche‐Pérez et al, 2022).…”

“…Studies show that individuals who stay in isolated environments and have a fear of contagion experience extreme anxiety (Brooks et al, 2020). Everyone in society is significantly affected by stress and anxiety (Wang & Liu, 2022). The anxiety increased in university students who could not communicate with their environment due to quarantine and isolation measures, whose perceived social support decreased, who felt that they were under pressure, and who were afraid of being affected by infection (Chen et al, 2020; Mamun et al, 2021).…”

ObjectiveThis research aimed to determine the level of fear, anxiety, and hopelessness of Covid‐19 in young adolescents’ post Covid‐19 period.Design and SamplesYoung adolescents in the 17–24 age group were included in this study, which was conducted in a descriptive‐cross‐sectional design.MeasurementsSociodemographic characteristics questionnaire form and Coronavirus (Covid‐19) Fear Scale, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used to collect data.Results90.8% of the participants had been vaccinated, 26.9% had previously caught in Covid‐19, and 10.3% of those who had been caught in the disease had a severe course. 10.7% of young adolescents had to take medicines, 56.4% had a family history of Covid‐19, and 18.7% had lost a relative as a result of Covid‐19, was found. The level of fear, anxiety and hopelessness was higher among women, first‐grade students, those who did not receive the Covid‐19 vaccine, those who have caught in Covid‐19 before, and those who have lost a family due to Covid‐19.ConclusionIt is thought that the increase in the awareness level of young adolescents about Covid‐19 improves preventive health behaviors and enables the development of positive behaviors related to the disease.
