Overview

Randomized trial investigates psychological distress in university students, suggesting the need for resilience-building interventions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to understand the role of resilience, coping, and acculturation in the mental health of university students.
  • Data collected from 291 undergraduate psychology students (domestic and international) at a large urban university in the U.S.
  • Utilized a biopsychosocial model to analyze interactions among stressors and coping mechanisms.
  • Regression analysis performed to assess relationships between resilience, coping self-efficacy, and psychological distress.
  • Domestic students reported significantly higher psychological distress compared to international students (specific rates not provided).
  • Higher frequencies of stressful life events and lower resilience levels were associated with higher distress levels.
  • Acculturation did not directly correlate with distress, but related to coping self-efficacy among international students.
