UNLABELLED
Single-parenting students face unique challenges that may adversely affect their mental health, which have not been explored in community college settings.
OBJECTIVE
The authors conducted secondary analysis of Spring 2013 data from the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment to examine difficulties facing single-parent community college students and the association between single parenting and negative mental health (depression, self-injury, suicide attempt).
PARTICIPANTS
Participants were 6,832 California community college students, of whom 309 were single parents.
METHODS
Demographic and mental health data were characterized using univariate descriptive analyses. Bivariate analyses determined whether single parents differed from other students regarding negative mental health or traumatic/difficult events.
RESULTS
Finances, family, and relationship difficulties disproportionally affected single parents, who reported nearly twice as many suicide attempts as their counterparts (5.3% vs. 2.7%; p < .0001).
CONCLUSIONS
Single-parenting students face a higher prevalence of mental health stressors than other community college students.
未标注
单亲家庭的学生面临着可能对其心理健康产生不利影响的独特挑战，而社区学院环境中尚未对此进行过探讨。
目的
作者对2013年春季美国大学健康协会-全国大学健康评估的数据进行了二次分析，以研究单亲社区学院学生所面临的困难以及单亲家庭与负面心理健康（抑郁、自我伤害、自杀未遂）之间的关联。
参与者
参与者为6832名加利福尼亚社区学院学生，其中309名为单亲家长。
方法
使用单变量描述性分析对人口统计学和心理健康数据进行特征描述。双变量分析确定单亲家长在负面心理健康或创伤/困难事件方面是否与其他学生存在差异。
结果
经济、家庭和人际关系方面的困难对单亲家长的影响尤为严重，他们报告的自杀未遂次数几乎是其他学生的两倍（5.3%对2.7%；p<.0001）。
结论
单亲家庭的学生比其他社区学院学生面临更高的心理健康压力源患病率。
