BACKGROUND/AIM. Mental health of university students is under increasing concern worldwide, because they face challenges which predisposes them to depression and anxiety. The aim of this study was to identify demographic and socioeconomic variables associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms among university students.
This cross-sectional study on 1,940 university students was performed using a questionnaire including demographic and socioeconomic variables, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory.
The prevalence of depressive symptoms in students was 23.6%, while the prevalence of anxiety symptoms was 33.5%. The depressive symptoms were significantly related to the study year (p = 0.002), type of faculty (p = 0.014), satisfaction with college major choice (p < 0.001), satisfaction with grade point average (p < 0.001). Female students (odds ratio--OR = 1.791, 95% confidence interval--CI = 1.351-2.374), older students (OR = 1.110, 95% CI = 1.051-1.172), students who reported low family economic situation (OR = 2.091, 95% CI = 1.383-3.162), not owning the room (OR = 1.512, 95%CI = 1.103-2.074), dissatisfaction with graduate education (OR = 1.537, 95% CI = 1.165-2.027) were more likely toshow depressive symptoms. The anxiety symptoms were significantly related to study year (p = 0.034), type of faculty(p < 0.001), family economic situation (p = 0.011), college residence (p = 0.001) satisfaction with the college major choice (p = 0.001), and satisfaction with graduate education(p < 0.001). Female students (OR = 1.901, 95% CI =1.490-2.425), and students who reported parents high expectations of academic success (OR = 1.290, 95% CI =1.022-1.630) were more likely to show anxiety symptoms.
This is one of the largest study examining mental disorders in a sample of university students in Serbia. These findings underscore the importance of early detections of mental problems and prevention interventions in university students.
背景/目的。大学生的心理健康在全球范围内日益受到关注,因为他们面临着使其易患抑郁症和焦虑症的挑战。本研究的目的是确定与大学生抑郁和焦虑症状相关的人口统计学和社会经济变量。
对1940名大学生进行了这项横断面研究,使用了一份包含人口统计学和社会经济变量、贝克抑郁量表和贝克焦虑量表的问卷。
学生中抑郁症状的患病率为23.6%,而焦虑症状的患病率为33.5%。抑郁症状与学习年份(p = 0.002)、学院类型(p = 0.014)、对大学专业选择的满意度(p < 0.001)、对平均绩点的满意度(p < 0.001)显著相关。女生(优势比——OR = 1.791,95%置信区间——CI = 1.351 - 2.374)、年龄较大的学生(OR = 1.110,95% CI = 1.051 - 1.172)、报告家庭经济状况较差的学生(OR = 2.091,95% CI = 1.383 - 3.162)、没有自己房间的学生(OR = 1.512,95%CI = 1.103 - 2.074)、对研究生教育不满意的学生(OR = 1.537,95% CI = 1.165 - 2.027)更有可能出现抑郁症状。焦虑症状与学习年份(p = 0.034)、学院类型(p < 0.001)、家庭经济状况(p = 0.011)、大学住宿情况(p = 0.001)、对大学专业选择的满意度(p = 0.001)以及对研究生教育的满意度(p < 0.001)显著相关。女生(OR = 1.901,95% CI =1.490 - 2.425)以及报告父母对学业成功期望较高的学生(OR = 1.290,95% CI =1.022 - 1.630)更有可能出现焦虑症状。
这是在塞尔维亚大学生样本中研究精神障碍的最大规模研究之一。这些发现强调了早期发现大学生心理问题和预防干预的重要性。
