ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study examined the associations between COVID-19 stress and anxiety and depression among international college students and assessed if this relationship was moderated by coping and social support.PARTICIPANTS:
219 international students at a large US university.METHODS:
A cross-sectional online survey utilizing validated scales was conducted from October 1 to 25, 2020. Path analyses assessed the effects of COVID-19 stress on anxiety and depression, and whether coping and social support moderated these relationships in international students.RESULTS:
COVID-19 stress was significantly associated with anxiety and depression in international students. Maladaptive coping moderated the relationship between COVID-19 stress and anxiety but did not moderate the relationship with depression. Neither adaptive coping or social support moderated the relationship between COVID-19 stress and anxiety or depression.CONCLUSIONS:
Results confirm the need for additional mental health services to reach international college students at risk of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic.
