Effects of health management model on mental health of undergraduates / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the effects of health management model on mental health of undergraduates. Methods A total of 2244 freshmen from a college were randomly assigned to the study group (n =824) and the control group (n = 1420) in 2009. Chinese College Students Mental Health Scale (CCSMHS) was used to investigate the changes of the participants in the study group after receiving the health management and analyze psychological differences between 2 groups. Results In CCSMHS,all P was found to be less than 0. 05, except for anxiety ( t = 1.90, P = 0. 058 ), reliance ( t = 1.27, P = 0. 206), and impulse (t = -0. 60, P = 0. 551 ). In 8 dimensionalities with significant differences, scores were decreased after health management when compared with baselines. Instead of body ( t = - 1.38, P = 0. 168 ), all the other scores showed statistically significant differences between the 2 groups. Conclusion Mental health of those who received health management was better than those who didn't. However, anxiety, reliant, and impulse did not improve as a result of shorter intervention time, and the challenge facing psychology intervenion.
