Characteristics of 1965 Chinese University Students During COVID-19 Campus Lockdown

1965 Chinese college students participated in a cross-sectional study during COVID-19 campus lockdowns. The dataset contains survey results exploring associations between psychological distress, lifestyle, career planning, and health-related quality of life. Data was collected via an online questionnaire platform using snowball sampling and analyzed by Baochen Su.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the association between psychological distress and health-related quality of life based on scale measurements
• Investigating the impact of lifestyle factors like physical activity and study schedule on student well-being
• Modeling the influence of demographic factors and career planning on mental and physical health outcomes
• Conducting logistic regression analysis on factors predicting good physical and mental component summary scores

Strengths

• Dataset includes 1965 participant records, providing a substantial sample size for analysis
• Specific statistical results are provided, such as mean physical (47.5) and mental (36.8) component summary scores and odds ratios for key factors
• Data collection methodology (cross-sectional, snowball sampling via Wenjuan.com) is explicitly described

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data reflects a specific temporal and geographic context (Chinese students during COVID-19 lockdowns), which may limit generalizability
