Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

大学生は、入学に伴って一人暮らしの開始や交友関係など環境が大きく変化し、抑うつ症状を経験する可能性の高い時期である。しかし、大学では悩みを抱えながら相談に来ない学生への対応が課題になっている。
本研究では、まず抑うつ症状を抱えながら相談に来ない学生の割合を示すことができた。そして、閾値下うつからうつ病への悪化要因を特定し、簡便な心理的な介入法の有効性を示した。これらの結果は、悩みを抱えながら相談に来ない学生に対して、大学で実施可能な支援につながる重要な知見を示すことができたと考えられる。
