The future of our healthcare services highly depends on the current generation of health science students since they are the ones who will work in the healthcare setting. Ensuring their mental well-being is an utmost priority so that they can offer top-tier quality care and services to people in need. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of mental well-being and mental help-seeking attitude among undergraduate sciences students and the impact of socioeconomic status toward both variables.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among students (N = 364) from six sciences schools at International Islamic University Malaysia via an online survey, which contained three main parts; socioeconomic status, mental well-being assessment using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS), and assessment of mental help-seeking attitude using the General Mental Help-Seeking Attitude Scale (MHSAS). Data were analysed using SPSS, version 29.0.
Only 7.1% of the students have positive mental well-being, while 44.8% scored positive mental help-seeking attitude. There were no significant differences ( > 0.05) in students' mental well-being and any of SES components. There was a significant association between students' year of study and mental help-seeking attitude ( = 0.029), in addition, WEMWBS and MHSAS scores showed a positive correlation ( < 0.01).
Future studies are essential to find out the contributing factors, prevention, and intervention that can be done to help the student in need.
我们医疗服务的未来高度依赖于当前这一代健康科学专业的学生，因为他们将在医疗环境中工作。确保他们的心理健康是重中之重，这样他们才能为有需要的人提供一流的优质护理和服务。本研究旨在探讨本科理科学生心理健康和心理求助态度的患病率，以及社会经济地位对这两个变量的影响。
通过在线调查对马来西亚国际伊斯兰大学六所理科学院的学生（N = 364）进行了一项横断面研究，该调查包含三个主要部分；社会经济地位、使用沃里克 - 爱丁堡心理健康量表（WEMWBS）进行的心理健康评估，以及使用一般心理求助态度量表（MHSAS）进行的心理求助态度评估。使用SPSS 29.0版对数据进行分析。
只有7.1%的学生心理健康状况良好，而44.8%的学生心理求助态度得分为积极。学生的心理健康状况与任何社会经济地位组成部分之间均无显著差异（> 0.05）。学生的学习年份与心理求助态度之间存在显著关联（= 0.029），此外，WEMWBS和MHSAS得分呈正相关（< 0.01）。
未来的研究对于找出有助于有需要学生的影响因素、预防措施和干预方法至关重要。
