To explore the relationship between depression, self-efficacy, academic burnout, and social support among undergraduate students majoring in eldercare services in China.
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 957 students majoring in eldercare services across four provinces of China. The study employed questionnaires based on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Learning Burnout Scale, and Perceived Social Support Scale. Using SPSS 22.0 for descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation analysis, and constructed a moderated mediation model using PROCESS.
The findings reveal that 26.92% of students suffer from academic burnout. Depression is significantly negatively correlated with self-efficacy, positively correlated with academic burnout. Self-efficacy is negatively correlated with academic burnout. The results of the moderated mediation model showed that the mediating effect value of self-efficacy on depression and academic burnout was 0.139, accounting for 19.02% of the total effect. The interaction term between depression and social support has a negative effect on self-efficacy β = -0.203, and a positive effect on academic burnout = 0.106.
There is a positive correlation between depression and academic burnout among undergraduate students majoring in eldercare services. Self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between depression and academic burnout, while social support plays a moderating role.
探讨中国老年护理服务专业本科生抑郁、自我效能感、学业倦怠和社会支持之间的关系。
对中国四个省份的957名老年护理服务专业学生进行了横断面研究。该研究采用基于流行病学研究中心抑郁量表、一般自我效能感量表、学习倦怠量表和感知社会支持量表的问卷。使用SPSS 22.0进行描述性分析和Pearson相关分析,并使用PROCESS构建调节中介模型。
研究结果显示,26.92%的学生存在学业倦怠。抑郁与自我效能感显著负相关,与学业倦怠正相关。自我效能感与学业倦怠负相关。调节中介模型结果显示,自我效能感在抑郁和学业倦怠之间的中介效应值为0.139,占总效应的19.02%。抑郁与社会支持的交互项对自我效能感有负向影响β = -0.203,对学业倦怠有正向影响 = 0.106。
老年护理服务专业本科生的抑郁与学业倦怠之间存在正相关。自我效能感部分中介了抑郁与学业倦怠之间的关系,而社会支持起到调节作用。
