RESULTS
The detection rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and stress emotions of literature majors (30.03%,31.05%,14.50%) were lower than those of non-literature majors (44.49%,46.22%,24.81%).The differences were statistically significant (χ2 values were 81.49 and 88.26,63.08,P<0.05, respectively).During the online study,the depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms of the students in 4 universitys and universities were mainly moderate (18.43%, 20.68%),and the stress was mainly mild (9.41%) and moderate (5.29%).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that non-medical students, poor relationship with parents, poor relationship with father, inadequate preparation of teachers before class and dissatisfaction with online teaching were prone to depressive symptoms (OR=1.84,1.28,1.63 and1.75 respectively) and anxiety (OR=1.79,1.22,1.65 and 1.77, respectively) and anxiety symptoms (OR=1.79,1.22,1.65,1.77, respectively) and anxiety (OR=1.79,1.22,1.65,1.77,1.19, respectively). ) and negative stress emotion (OR=2.09,1.41,1.58,1.29,1.48, respectively).Girls are less likely to have depressive symptoms (OR=0.82) and anxiety symptoms (OR=0.74) than boys.University students who live in rural areas are more likely to have anxiety symptoms (OR=1.27).The senior students were more likely to feel the existence of pressure (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS

Families and schools should pay timely attention to the mental health of university students during online learning and provide targeted psychological counseling for students with different characteristics.
