Abstract:
COVID-19 has seriously affected peoples mental health and changed their behaviours. Previous studies for mental state and behaviour promotion only targeted limited people or were not suitable for daily activity restrictions. Therefore, we decided to explore the effect of health education videos on people’s mental state and health-related behaviours. Based on WeChat, QQ, and other social media, we conducted an online survey by snowball sampling. Besides, we used binary logistic regression analyses to examine mental health problems and health-related behaviours predictors. We performed SPSS macro PROCESS (model 4 and model 6) to analyze mediation relationships between exposure to health education videos and depression/anxiety/health-related behaviours. These models were regarded as exploratory. Binary logistic regression analyses indicated that people who watched the health education videos were more likely to wear masks (OR 1.15, p < 0.001), disinfect (OR 1.26, p < 0.001), and take temperature (OR 1.37, p < 0.001). Exposure to health education videos can improve peoples self-perceived social support and inner growth and help them cope with the adverse impact of public health emergencies with better mental health and health-related behaviours.
