Psychological distress has a deleterious impact on the mental health of college students. The purpose of this study was to specify a theoretical, sense of coherence, and hardiness-based regression model to predict the mental health of college students. The instruments employed to build the model included the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale K-6, the Sense of Coherence-29, and the College Student Hardiness Measure. Data were collected from a sample of college students (n = 220) attending a Midwestern university. Each of the theoretical predictors regressed on mental health was deemed significant. Collectively, the significant predictors produced an R2 adjusted value of 0.434 (p < 0.001), suggesting the final specified model explained 43.4% of the variance in mental health in the sample of participants. Qualitative cut-points were developed for each scale to aid in measurement of health promotion and education interventions designed to improve the mental health of college students.
心理困扰对大学生的心理健康有有害影响。本研究的目的是确定一个基于连贯感和心理韧性的理论回归模型,以预测大学生的心理健康。用于构建该模型的工具包括凯斯勒心理困扰量表K-6、连贯感量表-29和大学生心理韧性量表。数据收集自一所中西部大学的220名大学生样本。每个回归到心理健康的理论预测变量都被认为具有显著性。总体而言,这些显著的预测变量产生了一个调整后的R2值为0.434(p < 0.001),表明最终确定的模型解释了参与者样本中43.4%的心理健康方差。为每个量表制定了定性切点,以帮助衡量旨在改善大学生心理健康的健康促进和教育干预措施。
