摘要

由于高等教育中心理健康问题的发生率不断上升,当今大学生的健康受到威胁。同时,本科生认为工科课程和项目是高等教育中最艰苦、最不受欢迎和最不包容的。本系统性文献综述确定并综合了与工科本科生心理健康和福祉(MHW)相关的经验性学术研究。对内容和定性主题进行了分析,以描述和综合各研究的研究质量和成果趋势。工科本科生会遇到各种心理健康问题,这些问题对他们在工科教育中的经历产生了负面影响。压力是最普遍的心理健康问题;焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)也有报道。繁重的学业负担、睡眠问题和工程教育文化的性质被认为是阻碍工程教育中心理健康和工作的因素。尽管工程学中的心理健康和工作是国际上一个不断增长的研究领域,但目前工程学中的心理健康和工作研究刚刚起步,而且主要集中在学生心理健康问题的特征描述上。研究人员没有充分利用定性和混合方法、纵向和实验设计、指导框架和可靠的抽样技术。学术和正念干预,以及积极心理学中心理健康概念的使用,都显示出支持工程学中的心理健康问题的前景。

Mental health and wellbeing of undergraduate students in engineering: A systematic literature review

Mental health and wellbeing of undergraduate students in engineering: A systematic literature review

Background

The wellbeing of college students today is at risk because of rising occurrences of mental health issues in higher education. Concurrently, undergraduate students perceive engineering courses and programs to be among the most arduous, and least welcoming and accommodating, in higher education. Although research related to mental health and wellbeing (MHW) in engineering is growing, a systematic review of this research has yet to be conducted.

Purpose

This systematic literature review identifies and synthesizes empirical scholarship related to the MHW of undergraduate engineering students.

Scope/Method

Specified search terms and inclusion criteria were used to identify 34 empirical studies related to engineering undergraduates' MHW. Content and qualitative thematic analyses were conducted to characterize and synthesize trends in research quality and outcomes across studies.

Results

Undergraduate engineering students experience a variety of mental health issues that negatively affect their experiences in engineering education. Stress is the most prevalent mental health issue identified; anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are also reported. Heavy academic workloads, sleep issues, and the nature of engineering education culture are identified as impediments to MHW in engineering education.

Conclusions

Although MHW in engineering is a growing area of research internationally, current MHW research in engineering is nascent and focused on the characterization of student mental health issues. Researchers underutilize qualitative and mixed-methods approaches, longitudinal and experimental designs, guiding frameworks, and robust sampling techniques. Academic and mindfulness interventions, as well as the use of mental wellness constructs from positive psychology, show promise for supporting MHW in engineering.
