【摘要】尽管大学生心理障碍的风险很高，但缺乏关于大学生焦虑症患病率的证据综合。我们进行了定量系统评价，以估计COVID-19大流行期间大学生焦虑的全球流行率。从2020年9月至2021年2月，我们使用PRISMA指南对PubMed、Scopus和PsycINFO的横断面研究进行了系统搜索。共纳入36项研究，使用随机效应模型计算焦虑的汇总比例.对焦虑患病率估计的荟萃分析得出的总患病率为41%（95%CI=0.34-0.49），具有统计学显着性证据表明研究间异质性（Q=80801.97，I2=100%，p≤0.0001）。亚组分析报告称，亚洲的焦虑患病率为33%（95%CI：0.25-0.43），欧洲的焦虑患病率为 51%（95%CI：0.44-0.59），美国最高的焦虑患病率为56%（95%CI：0.44–0.67）。一项基于性别的亚组分析报告称，女性的焦虑患病率为 43%（95%CI：0.29-0.58），而男性的焦虑患病率为 39%（95%CI：0.29-0.50）。研究结果显示，大学生的焦虑症似乎很高，这表明在这次大流行期间心理健康负担增加。

[Abstract] There is a dearth of evidence synthesis on the prevalence of anxiety among university students even though the risk of psychological disorders among this population is quite high. We conducted a quantitative systematic review to estimate the global prevalence of anxiety among university students during the COVID-19pandemic. A systematic search for cross-sectional studies on PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO, using PRISMA guidelines, was conducted from September 2020 to February 2021. A total of 36 studies were included, using a random-effects model to calculate the pooled proportion of anxiety. A meta-analysis of the prevalence estimate of anxiety yielded a summary prevalence of 41% (95% CI =0.34–0.49), with statistically significant evidence of between-study heterogeneity (Q = 80801.97, I2 = 100%, p ≤ 0.0001). A subgroup analysis reported anxiety prevalence in Asia as 33% (95% CI:0.25–0.43), the prevalence of anxiety in Europe as 51% (95% CI: 0.44–0.59), and the highest prevalence of anxiety in the USA as 56% (95% CI: 0.44–0.67). A subgroup gender-based analysis reported the prevalence of anxiety in females as 43% (95% CI:0.29–0.58)compared to males with an anxiety prevalence of 39% (95% CI:0.29–0.50).University students seem to have a high prevalence of anxiety, indicating an increased mental health burden during this pandemic.
