Factors Influencing Depression and Mental Distress Related to COVID-19 Among University Students in China: Online Cross-sectional Mediation Study

Yanqiu Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigated depression and mental distress levels among university students in China during the COVID-19 epidemic, finding a positive association between mental distress and depression. Various cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial factors related to COVID-19 were found to significantly impact both mental distress and depression, with mental distress partially mediating and suppressing the associations between some factors and depression. The prevalence of mental distress and depression among university students in China during the COVID-19 outbreak highlights the importance of interventions to modify these factors and reduce negative psychological effects.
