To investigate the predictive role of meaning in life on the general health among medical sciences students.
A cross-sectional study.
Four-hundred medical sciences students were selected by proportional to size sampling. The general health questionnaire and the personal meaning profile were administrated to identify the predictive role of meaning in life on the student's general health. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were administrated.
The mean ± SD of the total score of general health and meaning in life among students was 16.34 ± 6.73 and 71.50 ± 9.78, respectively. In the multiple linear regression model, factors such as father's educational level, and meaning in life can predict a 20% variance of general health among university students. As meaning in life thus emerges as a variable worth further in the health of university students, implementing interventional studies to assess the effect of meaning in life on students' general health is recommended.
探讨医学生生活意义与总体健康的关系。
横断面研究。
采用比例抽样法选取 400 名医学生。采用一般健康问卷和个人意义档案评估生活意义对学生总体健康的预测作用。采用描述性统计和线性回归分析。
学生总体健康和生活意义的总分均值±标准差分别为 16.34±6.73 和 71.50±9.78。在多元线性回归模型中,父亲的受教育程度等因素以及生活意义可以预测大学生总体健康的 20%变化。因此,生活意义是影响大学生健康的一个重要变量,建议开展干预研究,评估生活意义对学生总体健康的影响。
