Abstract

Purpose. Psychological resilience plays an important role in relieving the psychological distress. However, little is known about its underlying mechanisms. Mental health literacy, an important way to promote mental health, may mediate the effect of psychological resilience on psychological distress. This study aimed to explore the relationship between mental health literacy, psychological resilience, and psychological distress and explore the mediating effect between psychological resilience and psychological distress. Design and Methods. A cross-sectional study design was used. A total of 627 medical students were selected from one university. An electronic questionnaire was administered to collect information on the level of mental health literacy, psychological resilience, and psychological distress. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used in analyzing the relationship, and the Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effects. Findings. Psychological distress significantly negatively correlated with mental health literacy and psychological resilience ( P < 0.001 ). The indirect effect of mental health literacy accounted for 50.43% of the total effect between psychological resilience and psychological distress. Practical Implication. Psychological resilience decreased the level of psychological distress, and this relationship was partially mediated by mental health literacy. These findings showed that efforts aimed at enhancing the mental health literacy may prevent or reduce the prevalence of psychological distress symptoms among college students.

心理健康素养对医学生心理韧性和心理困扰的中介作用

意图心理恢复力在缓解心理困扰方面发挥着重要作用。然而，人们对其潜在机制知之甚少。心理健康素养是促进心理健康的重要途径，它可能介导心理恢复力对心理困扰的影响。本研究旨在探讨心理健康素养、心理恢复力和心理困扰之间的关系，并探讨心理恢复力与心理困扰的中介作用。设计和方法。采用横断面研究设计。共有627名医科学生从一所大学中被选中。使用电子问卷收集有关心理健康知识水平、心理恢复力和心理困扰的信息。Pearson相关分析用于分析这种关系，Bootstrap方法用于检验中介效应。调查结果。心理困扰与心理健康素养和心理恢复力呈显著负相关（P＜0.001）。心理健康素养的间接效应占心理恢复力与心理困扰之间总效应的50.43%。实际含义。心理恢复力降低了心理困扰的程度，这种关系部分是由心理健康素养介导的。这些发现表明，旨在提高心理健康素养的努力可以预防或减少大学生心理困扰症状的流行。
