Overview

Randomized trial reveals significant negative association of academic burden with adolescent mental health, indicating the need for effective interventions.

Key Points

This study examines the impact of academic burden on adolescent mental health in the context of China's Double Reduction policy, focusing on perceived stress and self-efficacy as mediators.
Sample included 842 junior high school students from Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China.
Utilized purposive sampling and conducted various statistical analyses including correlation analysis and multiple linear regression.
Employed the Bootstrap method to assess relationships between variables.
Significant negative correlation found between academic burden and adolescent mental health (β = −0.277, p < 0.001).
In-school academic burden showed a stronger negative correlation with mental health (β = −0.295, p < 0.001) compared to out-of-school burden (β = −0.070, p < 0.05).
Perceived stress and self-efficacy represented complex interconnections within the academic burden and mental health relationship.
