Abstract

In India, school psychology is an emerging field of study. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has mandated the appointment of school counsellors to boost mental health through counselling, life-skills education, and career guidance. In the present study, the school counsellor implemented a five-minute meeting to quickly interact with students to promote their wellbeing. Using universal sampling, data were collected from 78 students using a Google survey form at one of the leading private schools in Meerut city of Uttar Pradesh State, India. The findings of the study indicated an improvement in the personal-social and school-career domains of students’ wellbeing. Approximately 72% of students reported being happy, and 58% shared being friendly (personal-social domain). Nearly 68% of students reported doing well in the school (school-career domain). Moreover, 65% of students expressed willingness to meet with the counsellor. The initiative received an overwhelmingly positive response (82%), indicating that it has increased the value of support for these students. This initiative provided an opportunity for both the counsellor and students to get to know each other and allowed the counsellor to plan individual and group counselling sessions as needed. Prospective studies could employ robust methodology with a larger sample size to evaluate the effects of this initiative on mental health outcomes.
五分钟的会议能改善学生的健康吗?印度学校经历
在印度,学校心理学是一个新兴的研究领域。中等教育中央委员会授权任命学校辅导员,通过咨询、生活技能教育和职业指导促进心理健康。在本研究中,学校辅导员实施了一个五分钟的会议,与学生快速互动,以促进他们的健康。采用普遍抽样,在印度北方邦密鲁特市一所主要私立学校使用谷歌调查表格从78名学生中收集数据。研究结果表明,学生的个人、社会和学校生涯幸福感都有所改善。大约72%的学生报告说自己很快乐,58%的学生认为自己很友好(个人-社会领域)。近68%的学生报告在学校(学校职业领域)表现良好。此外,65%的学生表示愿意与辅导员见面。该倡议获得了压倒性的积极回应(82%),表明它增加了对这些学生的支持的价值。这一举措为辅导员和学生提供了一个相互了解的机会,并允许辅导员根据需要计划个人和小组咨询会议。前瞻性研究可以采用更大样本量的可靠方法来评估这一举措对心理健康结果的影响。
