Purpose Explore the potential mediating effects of anxiety symptoms and hopelessness on the relationship between academic stress and depressive symptoms among Chinese college students. Patients and Methods A total of 1309 college students with informed consent were recruited from a local university in China. Academic stress, anxiety symptoms, hopelessness, and depressive symptoms were assessed by self-report scales. Haye’s PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to test the hypothesized mediation effect of anxiety symptoms and hopelessness in the relationship between academic stress and depressive symptoms. Results Anxiety symptoms, hopelessness, and depressive symptoms were common among college students and were all significantly positively associated with academic stress levels. Academic stress could indirectly affect depressive symptoms by anxiety symptoms, hopelessness, and both anxiety symptoms and hopelessness. The total effect of academic stress on depressive symptoms was 0.063. The total effect of three indirect pathway was 0.039 which account for 62% of the total effect. Conclusion The study detailed the specific process of depressive symptoms caused by academic stress in college students. Anxiety symptoms and hopelessness could mediate the relationship between academic stress and depressive symptoms. Paying attention to the anxiety levels and hopelessness levels of college students with high academic pressure is suggested as a means of preventing depression and promoting mental health.

“…Project Personality aims to strengthen adolescents’ perceived control over their behavior and emotions while reducing hopelessness regarding a positive future change. Low perceived control and elevated hopelessness consistently predict the course and severity of youth internalizing problems [ 24 - 28 ]. Further, both perceived control and hopelessness are modifiable via brief intervention, making them ideal proximal SSI targets.…”

Acceptability and Utility of an Open-Access, Online Single-Session Intervention Platform for Adolescent Mental Health

Background Many youths with mental health needs are unable to access care. Single-session interventions (SSIs) have helped reduce youth psychopathology across multiple trials, promising to broaden access to effective, low-intensity supports. Online, self-guided SSIs may be uniquely scalable, particularly if they are freely available for as-needed use. However, the acceptability of online SSI and their efficacy have remained unexamined outside of controlled trials, and their practical utility is poorly understood. Objective We evaluated the perceived acceptability and proximal effects of Project YES (Youth Empowerment & Support), an open-access platform offering three online SSIs for youth internalizing distress. Methods After selecting one of three SSIs to complete, participants (ages 11-17 years) reported pre- and post-SSI levels of clinically relevant outcomes that SSIs may target (eg, hopelessness, self-hate) and perceived SSI acceptability. User-pattern variables, demographics, and depressive symptoms were collected to characterize youths engaging with YES. Results From September 2019 through March 2020, 694 youths accessed YES, 539 began, and 187 completed a 30-minute, self-guided SSI. SSI completers reported clinically elevated depressive symptoms, on average, and were diverse on several dimensions (53.75% non-white; 78.10% female; 43.23% sexual minorities). Regardless of SSI selection, completers reported pre- to post-program reductions in hopelessness (dav=0.53; dz=0.71), self-hate (dav=0.32; dz=0.61), perceived control (dav=0.60; dz=0.72) and agency (dav=0.39; dz=0.50). Youths rated all SSIs as acceptable (eg, enjoyable, likely to help peers). Conclusions Results support the perceived acceptability and utility of open-access, free-of-charge SSIs for youth experiencing internalizing distress.

Background. Many youths with mental health needs are unable to access care. Single-session interventions (SSIs) have helped reduce youth psychopathology across multiple trials, suggesting promise to broaden access to effective, low-intensity supports. Online, self-guided SSIs may be especially scalable, particularly if freely available for as-needed use. However, online SSIs’ acceptability and effects have remained unexamined outside of controlled trials, leaving their practical utility poorly understood. Objective. We evaluated the perceived acceptability and proximal effects of Project YES (Youth Empowerment & Support; www.schleiderlab.org/yes), an open-access platform offering three online SSIs for youth internalizing distress. Method. After selecting one of three SSIs to complete, youth participants (ages 11-17 years) reported pre- and post-SSI levels of clinically-relevant outcomes that SSIs may target (e.g. hopelessness; self-hate) and perceived SSI acceptability. User-pattern variables, demographics, and depressive symptoms were collected to characterize youths engaging with YES. Results. From 9/2019-3/2020, 694 youths accessed YES, of whom 539 began and 187 completed a 30-minute, self-guided SSI. SSI completers reported clinically-elevated depressive symptoms, on average, and were diverse on several dimensions (53.75% non-white; 78.10% female; 43.23% sexual minorities). Regardless of SSI selection, completers reported pre- to post-program reductions in hopelessness (dav = .53; dz = .71), self-hate (dav = .32; dz = .61), perceived control (dav = .60; dz = .72) and agency (dav = .39; dz = .50). Youths rated all SSIs as acceptable (e.g., enjoyable; likely to help peers). Conclusions. Results support the perceived acceptability and utility of open-access, free-of-charge SSIs for youth experiencing internalizing distress.
