Nursing students experience high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. This study examined associations between health behaviors and stress, anxiety and depression in Australian nursing students.
this was a cross-sectional study.
Participants completed an online survey providing demographic information and responses to the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, short Food Frequency Questionnaire, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Workforce Sitting Questionnaire. Associations were evaluated using multivariate linear regression.
Mild to extremely severe stress (46.6%), anxiety (52.8%) and depression (42.2%) were prevalent. Intake of snack-foods was associated with higher depression (β = 8.66, p < 0.05) and stress (β = 3.92, p = 0.055) scores. More time spent sitting was associated with higher depression (β = 0.48, p < 0.001) and stress (β = 0.28, p < 0.05) scores. Skipping meals correlated with higher stress, anxiety and depression scores.
More support must be provided to nursing students to manage psychological distress and mental health during university study.
护理专业学生承受着较高水平的压力、焦虑和抑郁。本研究旨在探讨澳大利亚护理专业学生的健康行为与压力、焦虑和抑郁之间的关系。
这是一项横断面研究。
参与者通过在线调查的方式完成，内容包括人口统计学信息以及对 21 项抑郁焦虑压力量表、尼古丁依赖 Fagerström 测试、简短食物频率问卷、酒精使用障碍识别测试、国际体力活动问卷和劳动力坐姿问卷的回答。采用多元线性回归分析评估相关性。
研究对象普遍存在轻度至极度严重的压力（46.6%）、焦虑（52.8%）和抑郁（42.2%）。零食摄入量与较高的抑郁（β=8.66，p<0.05）和压力（β=3.92，p=0.055）评分相关。久坐时间与较高的抑郁（β=0.48，p<0.001）和压力（β=0.28，p<0.05）评分相关。不规律进食与较高的压力、焦虑和抑郁评分相关。
必须为护理专业学生提供更多支持，以帮助他们在大学学习期间应对心理困扰和心理健康问题。
