Abstract

ABSTRACT Unmet social determinants of health (SDOH) needs impact college students’ general and mental health, however research is lacking in the cumulative impact of unmet SDOH needs. Utilizing a cross-sectional research design, researchers investigated SDOH, depression, and mental and general health with college students (N = 301). Thirty-seven percent of the variance found in depression was accounted for by unmet SDOH needs and negative self-assessed general health (SAGH). As unmet SDOH needs increase, depression severity and negative SAGH also increase. Furthermore, students are 2.64 times more likely to have unmet SDOH needs, and 3.14 times more likely to have negative SAGH if in the moderate to severe depression group. College students are entering universities with more depression symptomology and our study found that factors related to social determinants of health may be a significant contribution. For college mental health professionals charged with preventing and treating mental health issues such as depression, increased attention to social factors is indicated.

大学生健康需求未满足社会决定因素累积指标与一般健康和抑郁结局的关系

未满足的健康社会决定因素需求(SDOH)影响大学生的一般健康和心理健康，但缺乏未满足的SDOH需求的累积影响研究。采用横断面研究设计，研究人员调查了大学生的SDOH、抑郁、心理和一般健康(N = 301)。在抑郁症中发现的37%的差异是由未满足的SDOH需求和消极的自我评估一般健康(SAGH)造成的。随着未满足的SDOH需求的增加，抑郁严重程度和负SAGH也会增加。此外，在中度至重度抑郁组中，学生未满足SDOH需求的可能性是2.64倍，负SAGH的可能性是3.14倍。大学生进入大学后出现了更多的抑郁症状，我们的研究发现，与健康的社会决定因素相关的因素可能是一个重要的贡献。对于负责预防和治疗抑郁症等心理健康问题的大学心理健康专业人员来说，应该增加对社会因素的关注。
