摘要

心理健康素养（MHL）在应对青少年心理健康挑战、减少耻辱感和促进福祉方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。本研究旨在评估MHL水平，并确定其在世界上青少年人口最多的印度晚期青少年中的社会人口统计学决定因素。方法对卡纳塔克邦Udupi地区Mangalore大学附属院校的1536名在校生进行了横断面研究。采用多阶段整群随机抽样方法招募参与者。数据收集使用标准化心理健康素养问卷-年轻人和社会人口统计形式。采用单因素方差分析和未配对t检验比较不同人口统计变量的MHL得分。进行有序逻辑回归以确定MHL的关键决定因素。结果MHL全球平均评分为96.4±9.4，为中度MHL。在参与者中，83%为中度MHL， 15%为低MHL， 2%为高MHL。较高的MHL评分与女性相关(P <；.001)、城市居住（P = .04）、学习流(P <；.001)，学年(P <；.001)，父亲(P <；.001)和母亲教育(P <；.001)、父亲（P = .003）和母亲的职业(P <；.001)和家庭月收入（P = .01）。有序逻辑回归发现性别、学习流、父母教育和母亲职业是MHL的关键决定因素。结论研究发现中度MHL存在显著的社会人口差异。将MHL干预措施纳入学术课程，开展全校范围的MHL运动，以及改善偏远地区的精神卫生服务，对于弥合这些差距至关重要。

Mental health literacy and its determinants among late adolescents in South India: A cross-sectional study

Background

Mental health literacy (MHL) plays an integral role in addressing mental health challenges, reducing stigma, and promoting well-being among adolescents. This study intended to assess the MHL level and identify its socio-demographic determinants among late adolescents in India, which has the world's largest adolescent population.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was carried out among 1536 late adolescents enrolled in undergraduate programs at institutions affiliated with Mangalore University in the Udupi district, Karnataka. Multistage cluster random sampling was used to recruit participants. Data were collected using the standardized Mental Health Literacy questionnaire -Young Adults and a socio-demographic proforma. One-way ANOVA and unpaired t-tests were used to compare MHL scores across demographic variables. Ordinal logistic regression was performed to identify the key determinants of MHL.

Results

The mean global MHL score was 96.4

\pm

9.4, indicating moderate MHL. Among participants,83 % had moderate,15 % low, and 2 % high MHL. Higher MHL scores were associated with females (P < .001), urban residence (P = .04), study streams (P < .001), academic year (P < .001), fathers' (P < .001) and mothers' education (P < .001), fathers' (P = .003) and mothers' occupation (P < .001) and monthly family income (P = .01). Ordinal logistic regression identified sex, study streams, parental education, and mothers’ occupation as the key determinants of MHL.

Conclusion

The study found moderate MHL among the participants with significant socio-demographic disparities. Integrating MHL interventions into academic curricula, conducting campus-wide MHL campaigns, and improving mental health services in remote areas are essential to bridge these gaps.
