Starting college is a challenging time for first-year students and is often accompanied by emotions such as depression, which can negatively affect academic performance and quality of life. This descriptive correlational study examined stress, coping, depressive symptomology, spirituality, and social support in a convenience sample of first-year students (N = 188) from two private colleges. Results indicated that 45% of students demonstrated greater than average levels of stress and 48% reported clinically significant depressive symptomology. Significant relationships existed between depressive symptoms and stress (p < 0.01) and depressive symptoms and social support (p < 0.01). Less social support was associated with more stress (p < 0.01). The results suggested that interventions targeting stress reduction in first-year students should be considered for decreasing depressive symptoms to enhance their college experience. \
对于大一新生来说，进入大学是一个充满挑战的时期，常常伴随着抑郁等情绪，这些情绪会对学业成绩和生活质量产生负面影响。这项描述性相关性研究在来自两所私立大学的188名大一新生的便利样本中，考察了压力、应对方式、抑郁症状、精神性和社会支持。结果表明，45%的学生表现出高于平均水平的压力，48%的学生报告有临床显著的抑郁症状。抑郁症状与压力之间存在显著关系（p < 0.01），抑郁症状与社会支持之间也存在显著关系（p < 0.01）。较少的社会支持与更多的压力相关（p < 0.01）。结果表明，应考虑针对大一学生减轻压力的干预措施，以减少抑郁症状，提升他们的大学体验。
