Abstract:
ObjectiveTo take COVID-19 as an example to understand the sense of security and anxiety of students in Sichuan province under major public crisis events， and to provide references for psychological education and intervention under the situation of normalized COVID-19 prevention and control. MethodsIn June 2020， a total of 7 319 students from colleges， middle schools and primary schools in Sichuan province were surveyed via Wenjuanxing platform by Security-Insecurity Questionnaire （S-I） and Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）. ResultsThe SAS score of students in Sichuan province was （41.52±9.90）， and the S-I score was （29.88±11.60）， the S-I score of male students was higher than that of female students， and the SAS score was lower than that of female students， the differences were statistically significant （t=5.961， -2.430， P<0.01）. There were significant differences in the total scores of S-I and SAS among students in different academic stages （F=122.579， 60.950， P<0.01）. The total score of S-I and the scores of each dimension were negatively correlated with SAS score （r=-0.553~-0.471， P<0.01）. Linear regression analysis showed that the regression model fitted well （adjusted R2=0.274）， and the model was statistically significant （F=40.802， P<0.01）. Emotional security （β=-0.441， P<0.01） was a significant negative predictor of anxiety. ConclusionUnder major public crisis events， students have a high level of anxiety and a low sense of security. Anxiety and security level are significantly different regarding different genders and school levels. Security has a negative predictive effect on anxiety.
