Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the status of depression with somatization symptoms among college students during the pandemic of COVID-19， and to screen the influencing factors. MethodsFrom 12 to 19 March 2020， all the 2019 freshmen in Communication University of China， Nanjing completed a web-based survey， in which all the students were assessed by Psychological Questionnaires for Emergent Events of Public Health （PQEEPH）， somatization subscale of Symptom Checklist 90 （SCL-90）， Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS） and self-designed general demographic questionnaire， then the collected data were processed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. ResultsA total of 3 406 valid questionnaires were collected， with an effective recovery rate of 93.0%. The detection rate of depression symptoms and depression with somatization symptoms were 55.7% （1 898/3 406） and 4.9% （93/1 898）， respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that single parent family （OR=2.977， P<0.01）， score of neurasthia dimension in PQEEPH （OR=3.693， P<0.01）， score of obsessive-anxiety dimension in PQEEPH （OR=6.794， P=0.001）， depression of moderate degree （OR=1.788， P=0.065）， and depression of severe degree （OR=4.462， P=0.003） were risk factors for depression with somatization symptoms of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic， a certain proportion of college students suffer from depression with somatization symptoms， furthermore， obsessive-anxiety， neurasthenia， moderate-to-severe depression and single parent family are the risk factors of depression with somatization symptoms among college students.
