Following available literatures, the spread of the epidemic and the control measures have had a significant impact on the mental health of individuals. To slow down the pandemic spread, governments and authorities all over the world introduced restrictive behavior measures, such as “social distancing”, “stay at-home” requests and so on. The COVID-19 outbreak is taking an unprecedented toll on people not only physically, but also psychologically. The outbreak of the coronavirus disease in December 2019 (COVID-19) and its rapid spread from 2020 to 2023 have significantly changed people’s everyday life. It would be useful to carefully measure each of these variables and investigate other potential factors related to positive mental health with the possibility that emotion, sense of coherence and social rhythm are mediating variables. Conclusions: Results suggest it is of great significance to keep positive affect, sense of coherence and regular social rhythm for maintaining the mental health of individuals under the influence of the spread of COVID-19. Regression analysis also showed that positive affect, negative affect, sense of coherence, and social rhythm could predict the level of positive mental health of individuals in the context of COVID-19 epidemic control management in Chinese university students. Results: Analysis of the data showed that positive mental health was significantly positively correlated with positive affect and sense of coherence, but negatively correlated with negative affect and social rhythm.
Method: The questionnaires contained items concerning demographic information, Positive Mental Health Scale, Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale, Sense of Coherence Scale and Brief Social Rhythm Scale. Aim: This study explored positive mental health during the COVID-19 epidemic control period and further examined emotion, sense of coherence, social rhythm may contribute to positive mental health among a sample of 521 university students in China.
