全球女性人群的抑郁症状正在增加。年轻女学生特别容易患抑郁症，因为她们正在经历必须接受新角色和责任的过渡年龄。女学生认为这种转变压力很大。除此之外，还涉及某些其他相关的风险因素。考虑到这一点，本研究调查了女大学生抑郁症状的患病率及其相关的危险因素。通过在线自填问卷收集了 223 名女学生的数据。社会人口统计数据采用描述性统计进行处理，而抑郁症状与危险因素之间的联系则通过多项逻辑回归确定。 18~20岁、未婚、经济贫困、有创伤经历的女学生抑郁症状中度较高。由于抑郁症状妨碍日常活动并影响学生的学习成绩，因此，它被认为是公认的公共卫生问题。通过教师和大学管理部门的共同努力，通过在大学内部提供有利的环境，可以控制抑郁症状。父母还应该在处理孩子的心理健康方面发挥自己的作用。这样，就可以防止女学生受到抑郁症的不利影响。
Depressive symptoms are globally increasing among the female population. Young female students are particularly vulnerable to depression because they pass through the age of transition where they have to accept new roles and responsibilities. Female students perceive such transition as very stressful. Besides this, certain other associated risk factors are also involved. Keeping this in mind, the present study has examined the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated risk factors among female university students. Data was collected from 223 female students through an online self-administered questionnaire. Socio-demographic data was treated with descriptive statistics, whereas linkages between depressive symptoms and risk factors were determined through multinomial logistic regression. Depressive symptoms were moderately high among 18 to 20 years old female students, unmarried ones, economically poor, and having previous traumatic experiences. Since depressive symptoms impede routine activities and affect the academic performance of students, therefore, it is considered a recognized public health concern. Depressive symptoms can be managed through joint efforts of teachers, and university administration by providing a conducive environment inside the university. Parents should also play their role in dealing with the mental health of their youngsters. In this way, female students can be prevented from the detrimental effects of depression.
