摘要
背景:青少年焦虑的潜在机制尚不清楚,它破坏了青少年的社会功能。本研究探讨了心理健康素养在青少年焦虑与心理脆弱性关系中的调节作用。方法:采用横断面研究方法,于2023年1月对贵州省1591名初高中学生进行在线问卷调查。采用《心理脆弱性量表》、《心理健康素养量表》和《儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查》分别测量青少年的心理脆弱性、心理健康素养、焦虑及其惊恐/躯体、广泛性焦虑、分离焦虑、社交恐惧症和学校恐惧症五个维度。结果:心理脆弱性与青少年焦虑及其维度显著相关(p p = 0.07)。心理健康素养显著削弱了心理脆弱性与社交恐惧的关系(p )。结论:教育工作者应开发课程资源,加强青少年心理健康素养的培养,促进青少年心理健康。
Mental health literacy as a moderator: association between psychological vulnerability and adolescent anxiety.
Background: Adolescent anxiety's underlying mechanisms remain unclear, which undermines adolescents' social functioning. This study examined the moderating role of mental health literacy in the relationship between adolescent anxiety and psychological vulnerability.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,591 middle and high school students through online questionnaires in January 2023 in Guizhou Province, China. The Psychological Vulnerability Scale, Mental Health Literacy Scale, and Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders were used to measure psychological vulnerability, mental health literacy, anxiety, and its five dimensions, including panic/somatic, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social phobia, and school phobia in adolescents, respectively.
Results: Psychological vulnerability was significantly correlated with adolescent anxiety and its dimensions (p < 0.05). The moderating role of mental health literacy on the relationship between psychological vulnerability and adolescent anxiety was left marginally significant (p = 0.07). Furthermore, mental health literacy significantly weakened the relationship between psychological vulnerability and social phobia (p < 0.05). The upward trend of anxiety as psychological vulnerability increases among the high mental health literacy group was significantly slower than the low mental health literacy group.
Conclusion: Those findings suggest educators should develop curriculum resources to strengthen the cultivation of mental health literacy among adolescents to promote adolescent mental health.
