Abstract

Objective

To explore transition practices, mental health promotion, and psychological health among college students with a mental health disorder.

Participants

data were collected from college students attending a southwestern university.

Methods

a web-based survey of transition practices, mental health promotion activities, and psychological health (i.e., self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and loneliness). A semi-structured interview was offered to all participants.

Results

A total of 140 participants (M age = 20.67 [SD=1.88]) completed the survey and N=29 (M age = 20.24 [SD=1.84] completed a semi-structured interview. When preparing for the transition into college, participants frequently considered geographical distance from home, living in a dormitory setting, and the student orientation/integration process. After entering a university, the student counseling center was accessed by 20.2% while only 6.4% filed for 504 accommodations. All participants considered having a close friend as important for mental health promotion.

Conclusions

A formal process of transition planning as it related to optimizing mental health was not consistently undertaken. Proactive transition interventions for college-bound students with a mental health disorder are needed and could include planning for ways to become involved in campus life and filing 504 accommodations to support academic success.

大学生心理健康障碍的过渡实践

目的探讨心理健康障碍大学生的过渡实践、心理健康促进及心理健康状况。参与者的数据来自西南大学的大学生。方法对过渡实践、心理健康促进活动和心理健康（即自我效能感、生活满意度和孤独感）进行网络调查。向所有参与者提供了半结构化访谈。结果共有140名参与者（男性年龄20.67[SD=1.88]）完成了调查，N=29（男性年龄20.24[SD=1.84]）完成了半结构化面试。在准备升入大学时，参与者经常考虑离家的地理距离、宿舍环境以及学生定向/融入过程。进入大学后，20.2%的人进入了学生咨询中心，而只有6.4%的人申请了504个住宿。所有参与者都认为有一个亲密的朋友对促进心理健康很重要。结论与优化心理健康相关的过渡计划的正式过程并没有持续进行。需要为患有心理健康障碍的大学生提供积极的过渡干预措施，包括规划参与校园生活的方式，并申请504份住宿以支持学业成功。
