To explore relationships between mental health climate, positive mental health, sense of belonging, and depression among a U.S. national sample of Black college students. 1303 Black undergraduate and graduate students from 15 colleges and universities throughout the U.S. Data were from the 2018-2019 Healthy Minds Study. Analysis included hierarchical regression models. : A more positive perception of mental health climate and higher levels of both positive mental health and sense of belonging were significantly associated with lower levels of depression. Significant interactions existed between positive mental health and climate and sense of belonging and climate with buffering effects being most pronounced for students reporting high levels of positive mental health. Black college students' perceptions of an institution's mental health climate are associated with psychological outcomes. College health stakeholders should consider the buffering effects of protective factors on mental health when designing initiatives for Black college students.
探讨美国黑人大学生群体中心理健康氛围、积极心理健康、归属感与抑郁之间的关系。 美国 15 所高校的 1303 名黑人本科生和研究生参与了此项研究。数据来源于 2018-2019 年的“健康心灵研究”。分析采用了分层回归模型。 :对心理健康氛围的更积极看法,以及更高水平的积极心理健康和归属感,与较低水平的抑郁显著相关。积极心理健康和气候以及归属感和气候之间存在显著的交互作用,对于报告高水平积极心理健康的学生来说,缓冲效应最为明显。 黑人大学生对学校心理健康氛围的看法与心理结果有关。在为黑人大学生设计计划时,学院健康利益相关者应该考虑保护因素对心理健康的缓冲作用。
