Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Somatization Symptom Scale (SSS) were used to evaluate their anxiety, depression and somatization symptoms.

In terms of somatization, the detection rate was higher in urban college students than those in rural (23.35% vs. 13.27%, P<0.05), non-medical students was higher than medical students (21.40% vs. 13.89%, P<0.05). Women's SSS score was higher than men's [(26.51 ± 5.44) vs. (25.27 ± 5.78)], urban college students' SSS score were higher than rural [(26.69 ± 5.98) vs. (25.38 ± 5.12)], and non-medical students’ SSS score were higher than medical students [(26.65 ± 5.59) vs. (25.21 ± 5.45)], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis showed that SSS score was positively correlated with SAS score (r=0.110, P=0.010) and negatively correlated with SDS score (r=-0.087, P=0.042). The top three common ways of help-seeking pattern among college students were self-regulation (81.85%), talking to family or friends (70.78%) and offline psychological counseling (28.31%).ConclusionUnder the COVID-19 epidemic, the detection rate of depressive symptoms and somatization symptoms of college students is high.
