“…Specifically, intrapersonal stress predicted symptoms of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and overall distress, whereas interpersonal stress predicted anxiety, depression, substance use problems, and overall distress in both women and men. These findings are consistent with, and build upon, previous studies showing that specific intrapersonal stressors, such as body image problems (Tao et al, 2002), and specific interpersonal stressors, such as experienc ing discrimination, are linked with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression (Byrd & McKinney, 2012;Whitton et al, 2013). The results are also consistent with previous work suggesting that substance use problems may be more closely linked with interpersonal rather than intrapersonal stressors (Whitton et al, 2013).…”

“…In contrast, intimate relationship stress may predict alcohol use, as well as depressive symptoms in women, but not in men (Whitton et al, 2013). Individuals who have negative experiences or perceptions of the campus climate (e.g., being singled out because of one's race/ethnicity, gender, or sexual orienta tion) are more likely to experience psychological distress (Byrd & McKinney, 2012), and body image problems have been linked with symptoms of anxiety and depression (Tao et al, 2002). Stressors such as job insecurity, high pressure or excessive workloads, and performanceavoidance goals have also been shown to be related to depression and anxiety in both women and men (Fan, Blumenthal, Watkins, & Sherwood, 2015;Lavasani, Khezriazar, Amani, & Malahmadi, 2011;Melchior et al, 2007).…”

“…The questionnaire included two main parts: social demographic characteristics and mental health. The socio demographic characteristics contained a series of alternating quantities commonly related to psychological puzzle amongst university students ( Tao et al, 2002 ; Korhonen et al, 2017 ; Wahed and Hassan, 2017 ; Fernández et al, 2020 ; Lee and Feng, 2021 ; Solmi et al, 2021 ), that is, gender, grade, obesity, eating habits, family background, tobacco and alcohol consumption, physical activity, and diet. The variable body mass index (BMI) was calculated from self-reported weight and height (BMI = kg/m 2 ).…”

Mental health issues are becoming increasingly prevalent amongst university students. However, research on the psychological profile of the general university population is relatively limited. Thus, this study analyses the current state of university students’ psychological conditions; the demographic differences in depression, anxiety, and stress and the influencing factors. The objectives are to provide additional appropriate guidance in mental health for university students with different demographic characteristics. A cross-sectional study of 6,032 university students nationwide was conducted from October 2020 to January 2021. A randomized whole-group sampling method was used to select the study participants, and the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) was used. P < 0.05 in the final model were considered statistically significant. The number of university students with no complain of depression, anxiety, or stress was 3,751 (62.2%). The odds of developing complain of depression were higher amongst anxious respondents (AOR = 23.417, 95% CI: 19.706, 27.826) and senior year (AOR = 2.210, 95% CI: 1.657, 2.947) than their counterparts. Students with “myopia” were 1.263 times more likely to be anxious (AOR = 1.263, 95% CI: 1.042–1.530). In terms of “impaired” or not, impaired is defined as any injury, such as sprain, strain, and fracture, “impaired” university students were 1.321 times more likely to be anxious (AOR = 1.321, 95% CI: 1.064–1.641). Furthermore, history of impairment and myopia increased the odds of stress by 1.305 (AOR = 1.305, 95% CI: 1.022–1.667) and 1.305 (AOR = 1.305, 95% CI: 1.012–1.683), respectively. Myopia, physical-activity-related injury (PARI) and irrational eating habits are risk factors for complain of anxiety and stress. Males, upper grades, low parental education, and irrational eating habits are risk factors for complain of depression. Low physical activity levels are also an influential factor for complain of depression. DASS consists of interchangeable risk factors and multiple complains of DASS may coexist.

“…Although extensive studies have been conducted on mental health of college students in China, there is a paucity in the literature documenting a holistic view on the associations of mental health with individual and family circumstances, academic performance, and social support [ 27 , 28 ]. This study explores the influencing factors from individuals, families, schools and society comprehensively.…”

Background Although many studies have analyzed mental health problems in college students in China, the associations of mental health with individual and family circumstances, academic performance, and social support were rarely discussed. Objectives The study aimed to determine the mental health status and its associated factors among college students in China. Methods An online survey was conducted on 300 students selected through a cluster sampling strategy in a university in Hubei, China, tapping into sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, their mental health status measured by the modified Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), and social support measured by the Social Support Rating Scale. Multivariate linear regression models were established to identify predictors of the SCL-90 scores. Results Mental health disorders were found in 8% of the respondents, with obsessive compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity and depression as the top three reported problems. Compared with the national population norms of university students in 2014, our study participants had higher scores in SCL-90. There were statistically significant difference in the Global Severity index (GSI) and all nine subscales scores (p<0.05). Poorer self-rated health, higher study pressure, and lower social support were significant predictors of higher SCL-90 scores (p<0.05) after adjustment for variations in other variables. Conclusions College students in Hubei, China may experience a range of different mental health problems, which are associated with their individual, study, and social circumstances.
