COVID-19 experiences and mental health among graduate and undergraduate nursing students in Los Angeles.
This observational study’s purpose was to 1) describe the mental health of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) investigate relationships between stressful COVID-19 experiences and mental health, and (3) examine correlates of mental health service use. The authors created a web-based survey to assess COVID-19 experiences, self-reported mental health, and mental health service utilization among nursing students in Los Angeles in spring 2021 (N = 174, 30.1% response rate). The survey measured stressful COVID-19 experiences (personal COVID-19 illness, hospitalization of close friends or family, and death of close friends or family), loneliness, resilience, depression, anxiety, COVID-19-related traumatic stress, and utilization of campus and noncampus mental health services. Students were found to have high levels of depression (30%), anxiety (38%), and traumatic stress (30%). No relationship was found between stressful COVID-19 experiences and mental health, but loneliness was associated with higher odds of mental health problems and resilience with lower odds. Students with primary caregiving responsibilities (OR = 0.22) and students who identified as Asian/Pacific Islander (OR = 0.24) had lower odds of mental health service utilization.
