Study On Psychological Problems Of College Students Through Analysis Of 3312 Counseling Records

Some studies have found that about 20%of college students have different degrees of"psychological disorder".It is generally believed that the psychological problems of college students are very serious.The fact is that so?What are the psychological problems of college students?Many researchers used Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90)to assess the mental health status of college students.However,according to individual symptoms to determine the psychological problems of college students may lead to a higher proportion of students with problems.Besides,the measurement does not tell us why the psychological problems exist and what condition they happen in.A few case studies have discussed the specific performance of college students’ psychological problems,but it is difficult to reflect the whole picture of college students’ mental health status because of the small sample.This study is conducted from the perspective of entire health,in the combined methods of qualitative analysis and quantitative statistics.Taking 3312 counseling records in a university from 2010 to 2015 as research materials,records and analysis are made through encoding program of Grounded Theory Technology,and "College Students Psychological Problems Coding Manual" is formed.Than,the college students’ psychological problems are classified and defined.On the basis of the above,the distribution and development trend of College Students’ psychological problems in grades and genders are described by statistical data.Main findings as follows:(1)The psychological problems of college students can be divided into two categories:developmental problems and psychological disorders.Among them,the developmental problems accounts for 84.3%,it can be said that the psychological problems of college students are mainly development,rather than the obstacles.(2)From the perspective of counseling,there are 1.3%psychological problems of students,of which there are 2‰ of the proportion of psychological disorder.it can be said that college students are a healthy group.(3)Growing problems and learning problems are common in all grades,interpersonal problems are more prominent in freshmen while emotional problems are more prominent in graduate students.(4)Boys have more learning problems than girls,and girls have more interpersonal problems than boys.This is because boys are easy to be affected by the environment,but also showed more procrastination in academic study.And girls are more sensitive in relationships,which makes them more fragile in conflict.Therefore,they prefer to talk with others about their feelings.(5)From 2010 to 2015 years of consulting records,growing and learning problems are the most outstanding of college students’ psychological problems every year.But the interesting thing is that the propoition of emotional problems is a downward trend,the proportion of psychological disorders is rising.The decrease in counseling for emotional problems may be related to a more open and inclusive attitude towards love and sexual problems among college students.And an increase in the amount of counseling for psychological disorders may be related to that all colleges and universities have focused attention on the students with psychological illness in recent years.According to the categories,characteristics and distribution of college students’ psychological problems,we believe that one can enhance the mental health awareness of college students by means of course education and promotion activities,to improve the self-adjustment ability of college students and to help their developmental problems.On the other hand,we can strengthen the professional training of school counselors to Improve their ability to identify psychological problems and provide treatment or counseling for students with psychological illness.
