| Objective To explore the anxiety status and its influencing factors of adolescents in Anhui province during the epidemic of Corona Virus Disease 2019 （COVID-19），with a view to providing references for targeted interventions in the later period to protect the mental health of adolescents.Methods From February 13th to 19th， 2020， adolescents in Anhui were required to complete three questionnaires online， including self-compiled general situation questionnaires， COVID-19 related cognitive situation questionnaires， and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders （SCARED）. And a total of 973 valid questionnaires were collected.Results The detection rate of anxiety symptoms was 27.13%. On the male side， the scores of generalized anxiety were lower than those of the national norm ［（3.31±3.53） vs. （3.84 ±3.24）］， and the scores of social phobia were higher than those of the national norm ［（4.35±3.43） vs.（3.72±2.94）］. On the female side， the scores of somatization ［（4.25±4.59）vs.（3.52±2.74）］， social phobia ［（5.52±3.55）vs.（4.17±3.13）］， school phobia ［（1.18±1.58）vs.（0.85±1.11）］ and total score ［（18.99±13.83）vs.（16.23±9.53）］ were higher than those of the national norm， with statistic difference （P<0.05 or 0.01）. Univariate analysis showed that gender， physical health， first channel for acquiring COVID-19 knowledge， the proportion in the exposure to negative news， and the proportion in the exposure to false information would affect the detection rate of anxiety symptoms （P<0.05）. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the female （OR=2.04， P<0.01）， poor physical condition （OR=2.12， P<0.01）， and high proportion in the exposure to negative news （OR=4.28， P<0.01） were risk factors for adolescent anxiety.Conclusion During the epidemic of COVID-19， the level of social phobia among adolescents in Anhui generally increases， and the risk factors for their anxiety symptoms include female， the current poor physical condition and excessive exposure to negative news. |
