台州市中学生抑郁焦虑症状现状及其与学业负担的关系

Associations between educational burden and depression and anxiety symptoms among middle school students in Taizhou City

目的了解台州市中学生抑郁和焦虑症状及其与学业负担的关系,为制定更有针对性的心理干预措施提供理论依据。方法于2022年9—11月,运用多阶段整群抽样方法,从台州市5个区县的30所中学抽取初一到高三学生共8128名完成问卷星平台的在线调查。采用青少年学习压力量表(ESSA)测量中学生学习压力情况,儿童抑郁量表(CDI)和广泛性焦虑量表(GAD-7)分别用于筛查抑郁和焦虑症状。采用Logistic回归模型对中学生学业负担与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关系进行分析。结果台州市中学生抑郁和焦虑症状检出率分别为19.3%和11.1%。中学生学习压力量表平均得分为(52.8±11.5)分;课外辅导班和兴趣班门数平均<1门,课外班每天平均时长<1 h;人均每天用3.6 h写学校老师布置的作业,写家长、补习班布置作业<1 h;30.0%的学生学习日可自由支配时间≤0.5 h,28.5%的学生周末可自由支配时间≤2 h,30.8%的学生认为自己成绩较差。二元Logistic回归分析结果显示,在控制一般人口学变量后,学习压力量表得分更高、参与更多课外辅导班和兴趣班、学习日和周末写学校老师布置作业的时间更长、学习日和周末写家长和补习班布置作业的时间更长、学习日和周末上与课业有关的校外辅导班的时间更长、学习日和周末上与课业无关的兴趣班的时间更长、学习日可自由支配的时长≤0.5 h、周末可自由支配的时长≤2 h、成绩状况较差的中学生,存在抑郁和焦虑症状的风险更高(OR值分别为1.09,1.07,1.08,1.05,1.04,1.08,1.08,1.08,1.06,1.09,1.07,1.47,1.34,2.84;1.08,1.06,1.08,1.04,1.03,1.05,1.05,1.05,1.05,1.07,1.06,1.48,1.23,1.75,P值均<0.05);成绩状况一般的中学生仅存在抑郁症状的风险更高(OR=1.34,P<0.01)。结论学业负担对台州中学生的抑郁和焦虑症状存在负面影响。应减轻中学生的学业负担,改善其心理健康状况。
