Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the impact of COVID-19-related stress on the social adaptation of college students， and to analyze and compare the mediating effects of patience and social support. MethodsStratified cluster sampling method was applied to enroll 3 219 college students， and they were assessed using the COVID-19-related Stress Questionnaire， Social Adaptation Inventory （SAI）， Patience Questionnaire （PQ） and Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS）， thereafter， the mediating effect was assessed via the SPSS Process macro. ResultsCollege students' COVID-19-related Stress Questionnaire score were positively correlated with the scores of PQ and SSRS （r=0.297， 0.229， P<0.01）， and negative correlated with SAI score （r=-0.430， P<0.01）. PQ and SSRS scores were positively correlated with SAI score （r=0.374， 0.283， P<0.01）. PQ score was positively correlated with SSRS score （r=0.271， P<0.01）. Patience partially mediated the relationship between COVID-19-related stress and social adaptation （β=0.049， 95% CI： 0.039~0.062）. Meanwhile， social support also partially mediated the relationship between COVID-19-related stress and social adaptation （β=0.016， 95% CI： 0.009~0.025）. ConclusionCOVID-19-related stress exerts a negative impact on college students' social adaptation ability， while the impact is mediated by patience and social support， and the mediation effect of patience is more significant.
