OBJECTIVE
Because of the serious nature of psychiatric illness and related problems, the authors attempted to identify demographic, individual, and behavioral factors linked to university students' psychological health.
PARTICIPANTS
They surveyed 353 (60.9% female) predominantly Caucasian (88.7%) university students attending a large public university.
METHODS
The authors used a self-report questionnaire including valid and reliable psychometric instruments for all study variables. They conducted multiple regression analyses to examine associations among study variables using a cross-sectional design.
RESULTS
More favorable health states (ie, greater psychological well-being and less distress) were positively associated with optimism, health values, and religiousness and were negatively associated with spirituality and number of sexual partners.
CONCLUSIONS
Results demonstrated that multiple protective and risk factors contribute to the psychological well-being and distress of university students. Health promotion practitioners should adopt strategies that strengthen the personality characteristics and values associated with university students' psychological health.
目的
鉴于精神疾病及相关问题的严重性，作者试图确定与大学生心理健康相关的人口统计学、个人及行为因素。
参与者
他们对一所大型公立大学的353名（60.9%为女性）主要为白种人（88.7%）的大学生进行了调查。
方法
作者使用了一份自填式问卷，其中包含针对所有研究变量的有效且可靠的心理测量工具。他们采用横断面设计进行多元回归分析，以检验研究变量之间的关联。
结果
更良好的健康状态（即更高的心理健康水平和更少的痛苦）与乐观、健康价值观和宗教信仰呈正相关，与灵性和性伴侣数量呈负相关。
结论
结果表明，多种保护因素和风险因素会影响大学生的心理健康和痛苦程度。健康促进从业者应采取策略，强化与大学生心理健康相关的人格特征和价值观。
