Investigation on the Psychological Health Status and Five-Element Personality of Traditional Chinese Medicine University Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Objective:To understand the psychological health and Five-Element personality status of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:In May 2020,a random survey was conducted on 1556 students of a TCM university using the Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90)and the Chinese Medicine Five-Element Personality Inventory(CMFPI).Results:The distribution of CMFPI personality types was Taiyin type＞Yin-Yang Harmony type＞Shaoyang type＞Taiyang type＞Shaoyin type.There were significant differences in the overall comparison and between male and female students(P＜0.05 or 0.01).The CMFPI scores differed significantly between the overall group,male students,and female students compared to the national age norms(P＜0.01).SCL-90 scores also differed significantly between the overall group,male students,and female students compared to the national youth norms(P＜0.05 or 0.01),with significant differences between male and female students in obsessive-compulsive symptoms,interpersonal sensitivity,sleep,and diet(P＜0.05 or 0.01).Multiple factors of SCL-90 were significantly correlated with various personality types of CMFPI(P＜0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion:The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the psychological health and non-mainstream negative personality types of TCM university students,with gender differences and mutual influence between the two.Female students tend to be introverted,obsessive-compulsive,and sensitive to interpersonal relationships,while male students tend to be proactive but face prominent issues with sleep and diet.
