Abstract

Background: This study aimed to determine the changes in psychological distress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in students from the fine arts faculty in the first 2 years of their education in Turkey, in comparison with students from other faculties, and to reveal the causes of psychological distress, anxiety, and depression in fine arts students.

Methods: The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were applied to students from Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculties of Economics and Sport Sciences (controls) in the first week of the 2017-2018 academic year. Students also completed a questionnaire measuring their possible stressful life events (at timepoint T1). The process was repeated for the same students in the second year (T2). The changes between the two time¬points were examined prospectively.

Results: A total of 96 fine arts students agreed to participate at T1 and 66 at T2 (68.8%); for the controls, it was 259 at T1 and 182 (70.3%) at T2. The fine arts students at T1 included 15 music majors, 45 cinema and television, and 36 handi¬crafts, sculpture, and painting. Their average age at T1 was 21.0 yrs (SD 5.8) and 54.2% were male; for the other students, it was 19.4 yrs (2.7) and 56.0% male. Fine arts students' GHQ-12 score averages increased significantly from T1 to T2 (11.7 to 14.3, p=0.002). Their BDI score averages increased from 10.3 to 12.3 (p=0.044). Moreover, their S-Anxiety score averages increased from 41.1 at T1 to 44.1 at T2 (p=0.008). However, the increase in T-Anxiety scores was not statistically significant. None of the control students' test scores varied between the two timepoints (p>0.05). At T2, for fine arts students, there was no significant difference between female and male students in terms of GHQ-12, BDI, and S-Anxiety scores. However, T-anxiety scores were higher in female students. By linear regression analysis, "worrying about the future (individual)" was found to be a determinant on all scale scores in fine arts students.

Conclusion: The psychological indicators increased significantly in fine arts students during the first year of their education.

音乐与美术专业学生在教育过程中的心理变化:一项比较纵向研究。

背景:本研究旨在确定土耳其美术学院学生在前2年教育中与其他学院学生相比，心理困扰、焦虑和抑郁症状的变化，并揭示美术学院学生心理困扰、焦虑和抑郁的原因。方法:采用一般健康问卷(GHQ-12)、Beck抑郁量表(BDI)和Spielberger状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)，于2017-2018学年第一周对美术学院和经济与体育科学学院(对照)的学生进行调查。学生们还完成了一份调查问卷，测量他们在T1时间点可能出现的压力生活事件。在第二年(T2)，同样的学生重复了这个过程。对两个时间点的变化进行前瞻性观察。结果:美术系学生T1同意参加96人，T2同意参加66人(68.8%);对照组T1为259例，T2为182例(70.3%)。T1的美术专业学生中有15名音乐专业的学生，45名电影电视专业的学生，36名手工、雕塑和绘画专业的学生。T1时的平均年龄为21.0岁(SD 5.8)，男性占54.2%;其他学生为19.4岁(2.7岁)，男性占56.0%。美术生GHQ-12平均分从T1到T2显著增加(11.7到14.3,p=0.002)。BDI平均评分由10.3上升至12.3 (p=0.044)。此外，他们的s -焦虑平均评分从T1时的41.1分增加到T2时的44.1分(p=0.008)。然而，t -焦虑得分的增加没有统计学意义。对照组学生的考试成绩在两个时间点之间均无差异(p>0.05)。在T2时，美术学生的GHQ-12、BDI和S-Anxiety得分在男女学生之间没有显著差异。然而，女生的t -焦虑得分更高。通过线性回归分析，发现“对未来的担忧(个人)”是美术学生各量表得分的决定因素。结论:艺术系学生在入学第一年的心理指标均有显著提高。
