Mental health literacy has been defined as knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders which aid their recognition, management, or prevention. This study aimed to examine the correlations of mental health literacy specific to depression and general health in a sample of high school students in Iran.
A cross-sectional study was conducted during the first 6 months of 2018 among the students of an Iranian high school. A total of 65 students contributed to the study. The required data were gathered using two valid questionnaires, Goldberg and Hillier's version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), to measure psychological quality of life, and the Depression Literacy Questionnaire (D-Lit). The data were analysed with descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients using SPSS version 22.
Neither the general health total scale nor any of its subscales showed statistically significant correlations with depression-related literacy.
Correlation of mental health literacy with general psychological health was not confirmed in this study. Also, due to the contextual differences of different societies, the generalisation of our findings should be done with caution.
心理健康素养被定义为关于精神障碍的知识和信念，有助于对其进行识别、管理或预防。本研究旨在调查伊朗高中生样本中特定于抑郁症的心理健康素养与总体健康之间的相关性。
2018年的前6个月对一所伊朗高中的学生进行了一项横断面研究。共有65名学生参与了该研究。使用两份有效问卷收集所需数据，即戈德堡和希利尔版的一般健康问卷（GHQ-28），用于测量心理生活质量，以及抑郁素养问卷（D-Lit）。使用SPSS 22版对数据进行描述性统计和皮尔逊相关系数分析。
总体健康总量表及其任何子量表均未显示出与抑郁症相关素养存在统计学上的显著相关性。
本研究未证实心理健康素养与总体心理健康之间的相关性。此外，由于不同社会的背景差异，对我们研究结果的推广应谨慎进行。
