Psychological distress (PD) in students is under-investigated, since its prevalence can be high in certain subgroups of students and it has been seen to be associated with other mental health issues and academic achievement. In a sample of French college students, this study investigated factors associated with PD, and looked more closely at the impact of social and interpersonal variables.
Data were extracted from the 2010 French "National Health Barometer". 946 students were interviewed. Mental health was assessed using the MH-5 five-item scale.
The PD rate in this sample was 13.8% (7.2% in males, 19.5% in females). Low income, nonsexual assault in the last 12 months, studying law and low social participation were associated with PD in multivariate analyses.
French students show specific characteristics that are discussed in order to explain the relatively low rate of PD observed. The impact of loneliness and social isolation are a major focus for preventive policies based on community resources and early detection of the symptoms of PD.
学生群体中的心理困扰(PD)尚未得到充分研究,因为在某些学生亚群体中其患病率可能较高,并且已发现它与其他心理健康问题和学业成绩有关。在一个法国大学生样本中,本研究调查了与PD相关的因素,并更深入地研究了社会和人际变量的影响。
数据取自2010年法国“国民健康晴雨表”。对946名学生进行了访谈。使用MH-5五项量表评估心理健康状况。
该样本中的PD发生率为13.8%(男性为7.2%,女性为19.5%)。多因素分析显示,低收入、过去12个月内未遭受性侵犯、学习法律以及社会参与度低与PD相关。
法国学生表现出特定特征,对此进行了讨论以解释所观察到的相对较低的PD发生率。孤独和社会隔离的影响是基于社区资源和早期发现PD症状的预防政策的主要关注点。
