To understand the current situation of vocational college students' mental health, take depression as independent variable, and explore the mechanism of social support and mental toughness as mediating variables on vocational college students' career efficacy, so as to provide basis for effectively improving teenagers' career efficacy, promoting teenagers' mental health and future development.
A total of 780 students in the first and second grades of high school in vocational schools were selected as the research objects by random cluster sampling. The questionnaire survey was conducted by the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA), Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS) and career decision self-efficacy scale of secondary vocational students.
Depression was negatively correlated with occupational efficacy, mental toughness and social support ( < 0.01). Psychological resilience was negatively correlated with occupational efficacy ( < 0.01), while social support was positively correlated with occupational efficacy ( < 0.01). The influence of mental toughness on occupational efficacy showed a masking effect, and the indirect effect accounted for 18.90% of the direct effect. Social support plays a partial mediating role in the effect of depression on occupational efficacy, accounting for 35.87% of the total effect.
Psychological resilience shows masking effect in the influence of depression on occupational efficacy, which is limited and influenced by personal cognition, and emphasizes the importance of emotional management. Social support plays an important role in reducing adolescent depression and improving adolescent occupational efficacy, and can effectively alleviate the adverse effects of depression on adolescent occupational efficacy. It is suggested that family, school and individual efforts should be made to strengthen the social support network, improve the psychological resilience of adolescents, and help improve their mental health level and professional efficacy.
了解职业院校学生心理健康现状，以抑郁为自变量，探讨社会支持和心理韧性作为中介变量对职业院校学生职业效能感的作用机制，为有效提高青少年职业效能感、促进青少年心理健康及未来发展提供依据。
采用随机整群抽样法选取职业学校一、二年级共780名学生作为研究对象。采用9条目患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）、青少年心理韧性量表（RSCA）、社会支持评定量表（SSRS）及中职生职业决策自我效能量表进行问卷调查。
抑郁与职业效能感、心理韧性及社会支持均呈负相关（<0.01）。心理韧性与职业效能感呈负相关（<0.01），而社会支持与职业效能感呈正相关（<0.01）。心理韧性对职业效能感的影响表现为遮掩效应，间接效应占直接效应的18.90%。社会支持在抑郁对职业效能感的影响中起部分中介作用，占总效应的35.87%。
心理韧性在抑郁对职业效能感的影响中表现为遮掩效应，具有一定局限性且受个体认知影响，强调了情绪管理的重要性。社会支持在降低青少年抑郁水平及提高青少年职业效能感方面发挥重要作用，能有效缓解抑郁对青少年职业效能感的不利影响。建议家庭、学校及个人共同努力，加强社会支持网络，提高青少年心理韧性，助力提升其心理健康水平和职业效能感。
