English abstract:
      Objective To 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.Methods Stratified 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.Results College 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).Conclusion COVID-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.
