Abstract：
The recent polycrisis (COVID-19, Ukraine war, climate change, economic crisis) has been associated with mental health through cumulative stress, with young people being particularly vulnerable. We surveyed 403 college students from Poland to examine their psychological responses to the experienced crises. The results showed that polycrisis was associated with worse mental health of college students from disadvantaged groups (based on gender, sexual orientation, and financial situation) compared to other college students, in four areas: sense of proximity to the crises, stress caused by the crises, sense of responsibility for mitigating the crises, and experiencing everyday moral dilemmas regarding the crises. These young adults also suffered more in terms of negative affectivity, depressive symptoms, and subjective physical and mental health. Our findings suggest that when discussing public mental health perspectives, it is important to consider consequences of cumulative stress and its greater impact on young people from disadvantaged groups.

最近的多元危机(COVID-19，乌克兰战争，气候变化,经济危机)通过累积压力与心理健康相关联，年轻人特别脆弱。我们调查了403名来自波兰的大学生，以检查他们对经历过的危机的心理反应。结果表明，多危机与弱势群体大学生的心理健康恶化有关（基于性别，性取向,和财务状况)与其他大学生相比，在四个方面:接近危机的感觉，危机造成的压力，减轻危机的责任感，并经历关于危机的日常道德困境。这些年轻人在负面情感方面也遭受了更多的痛苦，抑郁症状,和主观身心健康。我们的研究结果表明，在讨论公共心理健康观点时，重要的是要考虑累积压力的后果及其对弱势群体年轻人的更大影响。
