Title: | Intolerance of uncertainty and future career anxiety among Chinese undergraduate students during COVID-19 period : fear of COVID-19 and depression as mediators | Authors: | Zhou, T Bao, Y Guo, D Bai, Y Wang, R Cao, X Li, H Hua, Y |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Source: | Frontiers in public health, 2022, v. 10, 1015446 | Abstract: | Uncertainty is mushrooming throughout COVID-19, and intolerance of uncertainty (IoU) nudges people into mental health difficulties involving fear, depression, and anxiety. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of depression and fear of COVID-19 (FoC) in the association between IoU and future career anxiety (FCA) among Chinese university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study involved 1,919 Chinese undergraduate students from 11 universities in eight Chinese cities with an online self-administered survey that included demographic information, IoU, FoC, depression, and FCA completed by all participants. Our study demonstrated a positive relationship between IoU and FCA and the chain mediation effect of FoC and depression. Thus, understanding how FoC affects FCA not only informs university career professionals and assists students in preparing for employment, but also motivates schools to offer career opportunities workshops and, most importantly, provides mental health support to help students effectively cope with uncertainty and overcome COVID-19-related stress. | Keywords: | Chinese undergraduate students Depression Fear of COVID-19 Future career anxiety Intolerance of uncertainty |
