The experience and influence of youth in China in coping with stressful life events during the post-COVID-19 pandemic era: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the mental well-being of individuals, particularly among the youth. The experience of stressful life events has been linked to increased poor mental health. While the immediate effects have been documented, there is evidence to suggest that the pandemic's impact on mental health could persist in the long run. Additionally, the pandemic has influenced coping strategies and forms of social support.
methodsA phenomenological descriptive study was conducted to elucidate the changes in strategies adopted by youth to cope with stressful life events during the COVID-19 era. Thirty-three Chinese youths aged 15 to 24 years who have experienced regular COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control were invited to complete a semi-structured interview. Colaizzi's method was used to analyze the data. Triangulation was adopted to ensure the validity.
resultsFour key themes were generated, including (1) negative changes in mental health, (2) positive changes in mental health, (3) changes in the adoption of coping strategies, and (4) the utilization of internet-based coping strategies.
conclusionsThe results could guide the development of interventions to help the youth cope with stressful life events and further promote mental health among this population.
