Abstract

Objective: Mental health is noted as a central indicator of academic success. This study explored the perceived mental health needs of nontraditional post-baccalaureate students and what may increase their abilities to meet these needs.

Participants: Participants (n = 79) were students at a mid-sized Midwestern university enrolled in identified nontraditional programs targeting students who previously obtained a bachelor's degree and nontraditional graduate students.

Method: Participants completed an online survey assessing perceived mental health needs, service utilization, and potential barriers to service utilization. Surveys were analyzed using descriptive analysis, coding qualitative data, and two-tailed correlations.

Results: Results demonstrated nontraditional post-baccalaureate students perceive themselves as having mental health needs due to stress and time constraints. Participants' responses reflected 5 areas that may help increase mental health service utilization.

Conclusions: Results indicate nontraditional post-baccalaureate students have perceived unmet mental health needs. Ways to help meet these needs are discussed.

非传统学士后学生：如何更好地为心理健康需求提供支持。

目的：心理健康是学业成功的核心指标。本研究探讨了非传统学士后学生的心理健康需求感知，以及如何提高他们满足这些需求的能力：参与者（n = 79）是美国中西部一所中等规模大学的学生，他们参加的是已确定的非传统项目，目标群体是以前获得学士学位的学生和非传统研究生：受试者完成了一项在线调查，评估了他们的心理健康需求、服务利用情况以及利用服务的潜在障碍。调查采用描述性分析、定性数据编码和双尾相关分析法进行分析：结果表明，非传统学士后学生认为自己因压力和时间限制而有心理健康需求。参与者的回答反映了 5 个可能有助于提高心理健康服务利用率的领域：结论：研究结果表明，非传统学士后学生的心理健康需求未得到满足。讨论了帮助满足这些需求的方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
