Approximately 4.8 million undergraduate students are also raising at least one child but only 26% of these student parents will graduate within six years. This study aimed to examine how academic and parenting stress influence the relationship between support-seeking factors (i.e., the costs of seeking support and communicated support availability) and somatic health symptoms such as headaches, sleep disruption, and exercise. Two parallel mediation models (n = 185 undergraduate student parents) are compared and revealed strong patterns of indirect effects. Intrapersonal and interpersonal costs indirectly influenced somatic symptoms through academic and parenting stress. Stress also mediated the relationship between support seeking factors and somatic symptoms. Theoretical implications and practical applications are discussed.
大约有 480 万的本科生也在抚养至少一个孩子，但只有 26%的学生家长能在六年内毕业。本研究旨在调查学术和育儿压力如何影响寻求支持因素（即寻求支持的成本和沟通的支持可用性）与头痛、睡眠障碍和锻炼等躯体健康症状之间的关系。两个平行的中介模型（n=185 名本科学生家长）进行了比较，并揭示了强烈的间接效应模式。人际和人际成本通过学术和育儿压力间接影响躯体症状。压力也调节了支持寻求因素与躯体症状之间的关系。讨论了理论意义和实际应用。
