学生心理健康是大学非常关注的一个问题，报告的心理健康问题数量不断增加，学生报告获得支持的问题。目前的研究采用参与式研究框架，调查了学生在寻求帮助的意图和实际的寻求帮助行为方面可能存在的障碍。三百七十六名在读英国学生完成了一份调查问卷，衡量寻求帮助和可能的障碍，包括感知的公众耻辱、自我耻辱、教育影响、披露、应对行为和当前的心理健康症状。调查结果表明，自我耻辱尤其是获得支持的障碍。信息披露、教育影响、既往诊断、疑似诊断和心理健康症状也与寻求帮助相互作用。这些发现对大学解决阻碍学生获得心理健康支持的障碍具有重要意义。
Student mental health is an issue of great concern for universities, with rising numbers of mental health problems being reported and students reporting issues with accessing support. The current study, using a participatory research framework, investigated the possible barriers preventing students from accessing support, in terms of help-seeking intentions and actual help-seeking behaviour. Three hundred and seventy-six current UK students completed a questionnaire which measured help-seeking and possible barriers including perceived public stigma, self-stigma, educational impact, disclosure, coping behaviours and current mental health symptoms. Findings indicated that self-stigma, in particular, was a barrier to accessing support. Disclosure, educational impact, previous diagnosis, suspected diagnosis and mental health symptoms also interacted with help-seeking. These findings have implications for universities in tackling the barriers preventing students accessing support for their mental health.
