Objective To explore the relationships between COVID-19 stressing and depression, anxiety, and the influences mechanism of perceived social support in the links.Methods A sample of 3 219 undergraduate students were recruited to complete the questionnaire and scales online, including COVID-19-Stressing Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). And 160 students of them were enrolled to examine the mediation role of perceived social support in the relation of COVID-19 stressing, depression and anxiety by asking participants to read priming stories.Results ①There were differences between males and females in each variable (P<0.01). COVID-19 stressing showed significant difference among different age groups (P<0.01). Stressing, depression and anxiety levels yielded a difference between urban students and rural students (P<0.01). There were differences between enforced isolation and home isolation in stressing and depression (P<0.05 or 0.01). ②COVID-19 stressing had a positive correlation with perceived social support, depression and anxiety (r=0.158~0.235, P<0.01), meanwhile, perceived social support showed a negative correlation with depression and anxiety (r=-0.312、-0.210, P<0.01). ③The perceived social support had a negative prediction on depression and anxiety. ④Perceived social support mediated the relationship between COVID-19 stressing and depression and anxiety (Effect=-0.044, -0.031, P<0.01). ⑤Perceived social support moderated the link of COVID-19 stressing and depression (β=0.163, P<0.01).Conclusion The current research demonstrates that the COVID-19 stressing has an impact on perceived social support, depression and anxiety, and perceived social support can induce the negative effect of COVID-19 stressing on undergraduate students. In addition, perceived social support can regulate the relationship between COVID-19 stressing and depression, but it has no significant regulatory effect on the relationship between epidemic stress and anxiety, which further indicates that the anxiety is irrelevant to the interpersonal support. |
