背景：中国研究生数量的增加引起了人们对其心理健康问题的广泛关注。应对方式和社会支持是影响个体心理健康的重要因素。本研究旨在探讨研究生心理健康、社会支持与应对方式的关系。方法：以中国三所大学的260名研究生为样本。于2017年10月和11月采用症状量表-90 （SCL-90）、社会支持重估量表（SSRS）和应对方式问卷（CSQ）对被试进行评估。量表资料采用t检验、相关分析和多元回归分析。结果：研究生在SCL-90中除焦虑和恐惧焦虑外，其余各分量表得分均低于国家常模标准。研究生心理健康与社会支持、问题解决、求助呈显著负相关，与自责、幻想、退缩、合理化呈显著正相关。应对方式和社会支持对研究生心理健康有影响，其中问题解决、合理化、自责和幻想的回归系数分别为- 0.168、0.070、0.125和0.113。主观支持分量表和客观支持分量表的回归系数分别为- 0.086和- 0.024。结论：积极应对方式和社会支持通过增益效应提高研究生心理健康水平，缓解心理异常症状。本研究结论可为完善研究生心理干预策略提供参考。
Background: The increasing number of graduate students in China has resulted in the wide concern for their mental health problems. The coping style and social support are important factors that affect the mental health of individuals. This study aims to explore the relationship of the mental health, social support, and coping style of graduate students. Methods: The sample consisted of 260 graduate students from three universities of China. The participants were evaluated using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Social Support Revalued Scale (SSRS), and Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ) in October and November 2017. The data of the scale were analyzed with t-test, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The graduate students had lower scores than the national norm standard on all subscales, except for anxiety and phobic anxiety in the SCL-90. Graduate students’ mental health was significantly negatively correlated with social support, problem-solving, and help-seeking and significantly positively correlated with self-blame, fantasy, withdrawal, and rationalization. Coping style and social support affected the mental health of graduate students, in which the regression coefficients of the subscales of problem-solving, rationalization, self-blame, and fantasy were −0.168, 0.070, 0.125, and 0.113, respectively. The regression coefficients of the subscales of subjective and objective supports were −0.086 and −0.024, respectively. Conclusion: The positive coping style and social support improve the level of graduate students’ mental health through the gain effect and alleviate abnormal psychological symptoms. The conclusions of this study can provide a reference to improve the psychological intervention strategies for graduate students.
