“…Although a comparison between the sexes revealed that sex is not an independent factor for mental health problems, the overall positive rate of mental health problems was higher in males than females, which is similar to a Japanese nationwide survey suggesting that more male high school students feel unhappy than females [ 43 ]. This discrepancy may be due to sex differences in interpersonal relationships and friendships, as males were usually less likely to consult others about their struggles than females [ 44 ]. In our study, age was also not an independent factor for students’ mental health problems, while students in higher grades were significantly associated with higher odds of having mental health problems than first-year students, which is consistent with other studies [ 45 , 46 ].…”

Approximately one in five adolescents experience mental health problems globally. However, studies on mental health problems in Chinese high school students are few. Therefore, this study examined the status and associated factors of mental health problems in high school students in China. A stratified two-stage cluster sampling procedure was adopted, leading to a final sample of 15,055 participants from 46 high schools in all 17 provincial cities of Henan province, China. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect the data. A mental health problems variable was assessed using the Mental Health Inventory of Middle School Students. The positive rate of mental health problems among high school students was 41.8%, with a male predominance (43.3% versus 40.2% in females; p < 0.01). The most frequent mental health problem was academic stress (58.9%). Higher grades, physical disease, chronic constipation, alcohol consumption, engagement in sexual behavior, residence on campus, and living in nonurban areas and with single-parent families were significantly associated with higher odds of having mental health problems (p < 0.05). We suggest that the prevention of mental health problems in high school students be strengthened, especially in students with physical illnesses, unhealthy behaviors, and single-parent families.

“…The above are subjective evaluations of the degree to which an individual feels fulfilled in terms of needs, goals, and life satisfaction. There is evidence showing that adolescents are facing a great deal of anxiety, and that having someone, such as a friend or adult, to consult would alleviate their depression and increase their level of satisfaction with their life at school [ 34 ]. Hui concluded that having an increased ability to cope with stress and adversity will result in higher life satisfaction and better academic performance [ 35 ].…”

BackgroundTo adopt a healthy lifestyle is considered an essential component of nursing education. Self-rated health is a subjective assessment of health status and is consistent with objective health status. Previous studies have shown an association between self-rated health and engagement in a healthy lifestyle. Nursing students need to feel good about their subjective health status and to be able to adopt health improvements in their lifestyle before attempting to disseminate health messages to clients. The aims of this study were to compare the difference in self-rated health and health promotion lifestyle profile between senior and junior nursing students, describe correlations between self-rated health and health promotion lifestyle profile, and identify the predictors of self-rated health.MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive survey was adopted. The study sample consisted of 314 junior and senior year nursing students from a tertiary institution. The self-reported questionnaire consisted of a single-item question to examine their self-rated health. The Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II: Chinese version short form (HPLP-IICR) was used to investigate the health-promoting lifestyles of the students. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, Spearman’s correlation, and ordinal logistic regression were used to analyze the data.ResultsThe median scores for self-rated health were 3 (Mean 3.26, IQR 3–4) and 3 (Mean 3.19, IQR 3–4) out of 5 for Year 2 and Year 5 students, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups. The two groups of students showed no significant differences in overall score and in most subscales of the HPLP-IICR. An ordinal logistic regression showed that those students with higher health management score (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.04–1.21) and who had experienced no family conflicts in the recent month than having family conflict (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.01–2.66) were more likely to have higher self-rated health.ConclusionNursing education and clinical practice can undoubtedly increase the health knowledge of students, but may not lead to changes in actual health-promoting behaviours. Students with a higher health management score and no family conflicts are more likely to give a positive appraisal of their health status.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12912-018-0322-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Social relationship with friends could play a significant and detrimental role in adolescents' psychosocial development (Giletta and Scholte, 2012). Research evidences exist that emphasize particular importance of friendly relations in maintaining mental health (Okada et al, 2010) as one of the main sources of happiness and well-being (Ballas and Dorling, 2007). It is a common norm to have a boy friend/girl friend in most of the Western countries but in many of the countries in the East due to religious or cultural believes this type of relationship between individuals of opposite sex is not accepted and allowed formally by the families or larger societies.…”
