Analysis of the Current Situation of Depression Symptoms and its Influencing Factors among Vocational Undergraduate Students
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of depression among vocational undergraduate students and explore its influencing factors to provide theoretical basis for psychological intervention. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted using general information questionnaire, depression symptom scale, psychological resilience scale, and social support scale among 292 vocational undergraduate students. Data were analyzed using SPSS26.0 software. Results: The average depression symptom score among vocational undergraduate students was (13.7±9.5), indicating normal symptom levels without significant depressive symptoms. However, 36.0% of students reached the detection threshold for depressive symptoms. Multivariate analysis revealed that social support, sleep quality, psychological resilience, BMI index, and smoking were independent influencing factors of depressive symptoms among vocational undergraduate students. Conclusion: The average level of depressive symptoms among vocational undergraduate students was normal, but some students exhibited significant depressive symptoms. Students with poor sleep quality, low levels of social support and psychological resilience, obesity (BMI), and smoking showed more severe depressive symptoms. Therefore, psychological care should be strengthened for such students to alleviate depressive symptoms and promote mental health.
