“…Despite of the fact that the incidence of depressive symptoms and anxiety of Chinese college students in this study were higher than those in the previous research [3,4], the results were consistent with the escalating trend of mental health problems among these group of people [3]. The increasing risk of these mental conditions among them may attribute to the in uence of COVID-19, such as having relatives or friends being infected, massive media exposure [42], perceived COVID-19-related strain [43], lockdown and social isolation [44]. Therefore, due to the high incidence of depression and anxiety among college students in China, special attention should be paid to it and targeted measures should be taken to improve their mental health.…”

Purpose With depression and anxiety becoming one of the major public health problems in China, more evidence shows the long-lasting negative effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on mental health. This study aimed to explore the ACE exposure patterns in Chinese college students and their associations with mental health problems in adulthood.Methods In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from the Chinese college students aged 18 years old and above. Depressive symptoms and anxiety were measured using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). ACEs were measured with the International Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-IQ), and the ACE patterns were identified using latent class analysis (LCA). Then, logit regression models were employed to analyze the association between ACE exposure patterns and anxiety and depressive symptoms.Results A total of 536 Chinese college students were recruited in this study. Nearly 68.7% had at least one ACE and 17.2% were exposed to at least four types of ACEs. Three specific ACE patterns were identified, including “low ACEs” (63.1%), “family dysfunction but low childhood abuse” (20.1%), and “high domestic violence and childhood abuse” (16.8%). Compared with the “low ACEs” class, both the “high domestic violence and childhood abuse” class and the “family dysfunction but low childhood abuse” class showed significantly higher risks of depression and anxiety (P < 0.05).Conclusions The co-occurrence of ACEs was positively associated with higher risks of anxiety and depressive symptoms among Chinese college students and different patterns of ACE exposure may lead to diverse mental health outcomes.

“…Resilience is universal, and it has a protective effect on physical and mental conditions when individuals experience or face adversity ( 18 ). Psychological resilience can help individuals after experiencing severe stress or trauma, it allows for good internal control, better adaptation to stressful situations, and a return to pre-crisis conditions to maintain mental health ( 19 ). A growing body of literature suggests that resilience helps individuals ward off depression, anxiety, and other negative mental health conditions ( 20 ).…”

BackgroundThe repeated outbreaks of COVID-19 and the rapid increase in uncertainty have had many negative effects on the public’s mental health, especially on emotional aspects such as anxiety and depression. However, in previous studies, there are few studies exploring the positive factors between uncertainty and anxiety. The innovation of this study is the first to explore the mechanism of coping style and resilience as people’s psychological protective factors between uncertainty and anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThis study explored the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety of freshmen with coping style as mediating variable and resilience as moderating variable. A total of 1049 freshmen participated in the study and completed the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).ResultsSAS score of the surveyed students (39.56 ± 10.195) was significantly higher than that of the Normal Chinese score (29.78 ± 10.07, p < 0.001). Intolerance of uncertainty was significantly positively correlated with anxiety (β = 0.493, p < 0.001). Positive coping style has a significant negative impact on anxiety (β = −0.610, p < 0.001), negative coping style has a significant positive impact on anxiety (β = 0.951, p < 0.001). Resilience moderates the second half of the influence of negative coping style on anxiety (β = 0.011, t = 3.701, p < 0.01).ConclusionThe findings suggest that high levels of intolerance of uncertainty had negative effects mental burden during the COVID-19 pandemic. The knowledge of the mediating role of coping style and the moderating role of resilience may be used by health care workers when consulting freshmen with physical health complaints and psychosomatic disorders.
