Daily hassles and physical health complaints are common among undergraduate students, and both are related to negative academic and psychosocial outcomes. However, the extent to which hassles or health complaints persist from day to day is underexplored, and studies examining whether hassles predict health complaints or vice versa, are lacking. This study aimed to examine the temporal stability and to define the temporal relationship between daily hassles and health symptoms in undergraduate students.
Participants (n = 255, mean age = 19.2 years, 69% female, 53% White) completed 14 consecutive daily diaries of hassles and health complaints.
Daily reports of the Brief College Students Hassles Scale and the Patient Health Questionnaire-15.
Hassles and health complaints demonstrated stability through autocorrelations. Hassles significantly predicted subsequent health complaints, but health complaints did not significantly predict subsequent hassles. However, the two paths did not differ significantly.
Students reporting elevations in one or both domains may benefit from interventions aimed at reducing daily hassles, in order to promote better perceived health and well-being.
日常烦恼和身体健康问题在大学生中很常见，两者都与负面的学业和心理社会结果有关。然而，日常烦恼或健康问题持续存在的程度尚未得到充分探讨，也缺乏研究来检验烦恼是否预测健康问题，反之亦然。本研究旨在检验大学生日常烦恼和健康症状之间的时间稳定性和时间关系。
参与者（n=255，平均年龄为 19.2 岁，69%为女性，53%为白人）连续 14 天完成了日常烦恼和健康问题的日记。
简要大学生烦恼量表和患者健康问卷-15 的日常报告。
烦恼和健康问题通过自相关显示出稳定性。烦恼显著预测随后的健康问题，但健康问题并没有显著预测随后的烦恼。然而，这两个路径并没有显著差异。
报告在一个或两个领域存在升高的学生可能受益于旨在减少日常烦恼的干预措施，以促进更好的健康感知和幸福感。
