The objective of this study was to examine connections between university students' mental health and their knowledge and use of campus mental health services.
In March 2001, a sample of undergraduate students (N = 266) completed a Web-based questionnaire, providing information related to their mental health, knowledge of mental health services, and use of those services.
Students who were mentally distressed were more likely to know about and use services; however, some students who reported to be mentally distressed either did not know about services or knew about services but did not use them. Living off campus, identifying as male, and having fewer years in college were related to less knowledge of campus mental health services. In addition, female sex and number of years in college were predictive of higher service use.
With the high prevalence rates and severity of mental health problems, university mental health providers must continue to make strategic efforts to disseminate knowledge about mental health services to all students.
本研究的目的是考察大学生心理健康与其对校园心理健康服务的了解和使用之间的联系。
2001年3月,一组本科生样本(N = 266)完成了一份基于网络的问卷,提供了与他们的心理健康、心理健康服务知识以及这些服务的使用情况相关的信息。
精神痛苦的学生更有可能了解并使用服务;然而,一些报告有精神痛苦的学生要么不了解服务,要么了解服务但未使用。住在校外、男性身份以及大学就读年限较少与对校园心理健康服务的了解较少有关。此外,女性性别和大学就读年限可预测更高的服务使用率。
鉴于心理健康问题的高患病率和严重性,大学心理健康服务提供者必须继续做出战略努力,向所有学生传播有关心理健康服务的知识。
