"I don't feel fully prepared": a qualitative study of recently graduated students' mental health experiences of the transition out of university.
Objective: This study aimed to better understand the mental health experiences of students as they prepared to transition out of university.
Participants: Participants included 18 recently graduated students from a Canadian university.
Methods: Virtual one-on-one semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted and analyzed following the protocol for content analysis and using QSR NVivo.
Results: Four main themes were identified, including: distress and feelings of doubt, the importance of connections, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and experiences with mental health service use. Participants discussed feeling pressured to succeed and a fear of failure, uncertainty and unpreparedness for next steps, the importance of connections to peers and professors, a lack of motivation and feeling 'unfinished' due to the COVID-19 pandemic response, and the need for flexible and accessible mental health services to address immediate and longer-term needs.
Conclusion: Results have implications for better support of students as they prepare for graduation.
