Objective To understand the health status and factors influencing college students during the normalization of COVID epidemic prevention and control,to explore the health status of college students before and after prevention and control,and to provide a reference for the closed management of colleges and universities during periods of major public health risk.Methods Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in four universities in Bengbu City,Anhui Province,China,from January 4 to January 19,2022,and from July 1 to July 16,2023.The quality of life,anxiety,and depres-sion of students were investigated,the differences in the health status of students with different socio-demographic back-grounds was compared,and multivariate linear regression models was established to analyze the influence factors.Results There were some cases of anxiety,depression,and quality of life changes among college students during the pe-riod of normalization of epidemic prevention and control,and demographic factors,such as grade level,grade ranking,average monthly cost of living,and having an immediate family member suffering from COVID epidemic,were all influen-tial factors(P＜0.05),and there was a significant difference in the health status of college students.Anxiety and depres-sion were significantly correlated(r=0.799,P＜0.001).The differences between anxiety,depression and quality of life of college students before and after the epidemic control were statistically significant(P＜0.05),and the factors of grade level,grade ranking,average monthly cost of living,and the presence of COVID epidemic in the immediate family led to changes in the health status of the college student population.Conclusion The health status of college students varies among different demographic factors,mainly in terms of quality of life,anxiety and depression.The physical and mental health of college students are affected to some extent.This suggests that under major public health events,we should pay attention to the material and psychological needs of college students while strictly preventing and controlling them,and a-dopt regular psychological interventions to ensure the physical and mental health of college students.
