Mental health as a state of well-being can be affected by gender. The present work aims to examine the mental health status in female students and recognize its affecting factors. A cross-sectional study on female students of Payame-Noor University in West Azerbaijan, Iran, was conducted among 1632 students. Data collection tools were the demographic data and the General Health Questionnaires (GHQ-28). The results show that 51.5% of the population under study were healthy and 48.5% have had mental disorders. Based on the social effects on the mental health of students, the correlations between age (p=0.15), location (p=0.29) and parental education (p=0.34) with general health status were assessed and there were no significant differences between them. However, birth order (p<0.002), marital status (p<0.001) and family income (p<0.000) had significant differences with regard to mental health status. This study indicates that 43.6% of students are suspected to have mental and physical disorders, and the most effective factor is the socioeconomic condition. The strong correlation between birth order, marital status, and family income and mental health disorders suggests the necessity to pay more attention to all these issues in all at-risk students.
心理健康作为一种幸福状态会受到性别的影响。本研究旨在调查女学生的心理健康状况并识别其影响因素。对伊朗西阿塞拜疆省帕亚梅努尔大学的女学生进行了一项横断面研究，共纳入1632名学生。数据收集工具包括人口统计学数据和一般健康问卷（GHQ - 28）。结果显示，研究对象中有51.5%的人心理健康，48.5%的人患有精神障碍。基于社会因素对学生心理健康的影响，评估了年龄（p = 0.15）、居住地点（p = 0.29）和父母教育程度（p = 0.34）与总体健康状况之间的相关性，结果显示它们之间无显著差异。然而，出生顺序（p < 0.002）、婚姻状况（p < 0.001）和家庭收入（p < 0.000）在心理健康状况方面存在显著差异。本研究表明，43.6%的学生疑似患有精神和身体疾病，最有效的影响因素是社会经济状况。出生顺序、婚姻状况和家庭收入与精神健康障碍之间的强相关性表明，有必要对所有高危学生的这些问题给予更多关注。
