本文调查了英国一所大学本科学位各系学生从预注册到三年级第二学期的心理健康状况。数据收集了七次，66%的学生谁开始他们的研究在2000年至2002年参加了该项目。使用常规评估中的一般人群临床结局（GP-CORE）评估心理健康状况。结果表明，与大学预科水平相比，一旦学生开始上大学，他们的幸福感就会受到更大的压力。压力水平通常在第一学期最高，从第一学期到第二学期，在第一年和第三年观察到的痛苦水平显着降低。在任何时候，危难程度都没有下降到登记前的水平。鉴于这些结果表明大学是一个高度痛苦的时期，有必要确保学生在整个学习过程中获得必要的支持，使他们能够成功完成学位课程，使他们能够谈判过渡到大学，然后最终进入劳动力市场。
This article investigates the psychological well-being of students from all faculties across their undergraduate degree from pre-registration to semester two of year three at one UK university. Data were collected on seven occasions, with 66% of students who began their studies between 2000 and 2002 taking part in the project. Psychological well-being was assessed using the General Population Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (GP-CORE). Results show that greater strain is placed on well-being once students start university compared to pre-university levels. Levels of strain are generally highest during semester one, with significant reduction in levels of distress from semester one to semester two being observed in both year one and year three. At no time did levels of distress fall to pre-registration levels. Given these results show university to be a time of heightened distress, there is a need to ensure that students receive the support necessary throughout their studies to enable them to successfully complete their degree course, enabling them to negotiate the transition to university and then ultimately into the workforce.
