Abstract

Background: Happiness is among the fundamental concepts in mental health that have an impact on different aspects of university students. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of happiness among university students in Vietnam and to identify the factors influencing happiness.

Design and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on undergraduate students in 8 universities and colleges in Hanoi, Vietnam. Happiness was measured using the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), and we used imputed Poisson regression to evaluate associations between happiness and associated factors.

Results: Among 9120 participants students (95.1% response rate), the prevalence of "happier group" was 80.9% (95% CI: 80.1-81.7). In the multivariable regression models, factors associated with being "less happy" on SHS were the perceived financial burden, year in university, academic motivation profile, and self-reported depression and anxiety.

Conclusions: University healthcare providers should pay attention to these associated factors while designing mental health care programs to promote happiness among university students.

大学生的幸福感及相关因素：越南横断面研究。

背景：幸福感是心理健康的基本概念之一，对大学生的各个方面都有影响。在这项研究中，我们旨在估计越南大学生的幸福感，并确定影响幸福感的因素：对越南河内市 8 所大学和学院的本科生进行了横断面调查。幸福感采用主观幸福感量表（SHS）进行测量，我们使用归因泊松回归法评估幸福感与相关因素之间的关联：结果：在 9120 名参与调查的学生中（回复率为 95.1%），"更幸福群体 "的发生率为 80.9%（95% CI：80.1-81.7）。在多变量回归模型中，经济负担感知、大学年级、学习动机特征以及自我报告的抑郁和焦虑是与社会健康调查中 "不那么快乐 "相关的因素：结论：大学医护人员在设计心理保健计划时应注意这些相关因素，以提高大学生的幸福感。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
