Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to implement a screening system and develop a predictive model relating it to students' college adjustment status in order to help create a safe environment for early detection of students with mental health and developmental disability tendencies, which are often overlooked.
First, a screening test for students' anxiety, mental health, and developmental disability tendencies was developed in combination with the UPI, which has been used previously, and administered to all admitted students. To improve the accuracy of the analysis, we planned to combine this data with previous data, but since this was the first year of Corona, we constructed a maladjustment risk prediction model using only the current data. Finally, we examined the actual support system for students in need of assistance and the use of the predictive model at the organizational level.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の意義は，2点ある。1点目は，公認心理師や臨床心理士でなくても，精神的な不安傾向および発達障害の傾向にある学生の困り感を同時に確認するようなスクリーニングテストで，傾向を見ることができるようになることである。より早く適切な支援に繋げることができると期待できる。2点目は，大学在学中の各学年での困りごとと大学適応との関係を明確にし，支援に繋げるといった組織全体への取り組みへと繋げられることが挙げられる。学生の困りごとや，支援事例などを明確にして情報を共有することは，学生にとって有益であると考えられる。
