摘要

目的：本研究考察了韩国参加公共青年支持计划的年轻人中个体咨询对抑郁水平的影响。方法以参加青少年活动支持计划的11831名青少年为样本。其中，528名青少年同时获得青少年津贴和辅导，11303名青少年只获得青少年津贴。采用差异中的差异分析来检验个别咨询的效果。结果：虽然在整个样本中，个人咨询与总体抑郁水平的降低无关，但它与躯体症状的显著减少有关。在有严重抑郁症状的参与者中，咨询与总体抑郁症状、躯体症状和人际功能的改善有关。这些发现表明，有针对性的心理健康服务的年轻人的风险群体的重要性。将可获得的咨询服务整合到青少年项目中可能有助于解决这一人群中未被满足的需求。

The Effect of Counseling on Depression Among Young Adults in a Public Support Program

Purpose This study examined the effects of individual counseling on depression levels among young adults participating in a public youth support program in South Korea. Method The sample included 11,831 young adults participating in the Youth Activity Support Program. Of these, 528 youths received both the youth allowance and counseling, while 11,303 youths received youth allowance only. Difference-in-Differences analysis was employed to examine the effects of individual counseling. Results While individual counseling was not associated with a reduction in overall depression levels among the full sample, it was associated with a significant decrease in somatic symptoms. Among participants with severe depressive symptoms, counseling was associated with improvements in overall depressive symptoms, somatic symptoms, and interpersonal functioning. Discussion These findings suggest the importance of targeting mental health services to at-risk groups of young adults. Integrating accessible counseling services into youth programs may help address unmet needs in this population.

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
