Changing Trends in Suicidal Ideation and Its Influencing Factors During the Transition From Quarantine to Post-Quarantine Among Chinese University Students During the COVID-19 Surge: Six-Wave Panel Study
This study found that suicidal ideation gradually declined following the lifting of quarantine measures. Perceived risk, perceived severity, and uncertainty stress, rather than numbers of infected cases, were significantly associated with suicidal ideation. These findings highlight the importance of addressing individuals' perceptions with real-world context when developing effective strategies to manage COVID-19 and future infectious disease outbreaks.
