BACKGROUND: with the increase of study and life pressure, the number of depressed college students showed an increasing trend year by year, and the drug treatment alone could not achieve a comprehensive recovery of depression patients, so it was more necessary to pay attention to the spiritual treatment. OBJECTIVE: this research aimed to better understand the relationship between college students’ depression and life events, social support, psychological pressure, and coping style, and the influence of systematic family therapy on depression degree, psychological stress, and social adaptability of college students with depression. METHODS: in this study, 105 college students with depression were selected as the research object, and healthy college students were taken as the control group. Through questionnaire, the differences in life events, social support, psychological stress, and coping styles between the groups were compared. The correlation between the degree of depression and various variables were analyzed, and the impact path of each variable on depression was analyzed using the path analysis model. Depression patients were then divided into a conventional group treating with conventional medications and an observation group treating with systematic family interventions. Differences in Hamilton Depression Scale-17, (HAMD-17), CPSS, and Social Adaptive Functioning Evaluation (SAFE) scores were compared and analyzed between the two groups before treatment (T1), during the treatment (T2), and after treatment(T3). RESULTS: there were significant differences in scores of life events, social support, psychological stress, and coping styles between the healthy control group and the depressed patients (P <  0.05). There was an obvious correlation between different depression degrees and life events, social support, psychological stress, and coping styles (P <  0.05). Life events, social support, and psychological stress had a direct and significant impact on depression (0.250, 0.218, and 0.392; P <  0.05), and they also had an indirect and significant impact on depression through coping styles (P <  0.05). The systematic family treatment model could significantly reduce HAMD-17 and CPSS scores (P <  0.05), and significantly improve SAFE scores (P <  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: adverse life events, lack of social support, excessive psychological stress, and negative coping styles can aggravate college students’ depression. Systematic family therapy can improve the degree of depression, reduce the psychological stress, and enhance the social adaptability of college students with depression.

The purpose of this study was to examine college students' smoking behavior as well as their current smoking status and its effects on perceived levels of stress and coping styles. Students from four universities completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations and a smoking questionnaire. Of the 1330 students who participated in the study, 19 percent were current smokers. On the Perceived Stress Scale, current smokers' mean score was significantly higher than that of the students who had never smoked. In addition, the current smokers' mean score for Emotion-oriented Coping was significantly higher than that of the students who had never smoked or formerly smoked. The former smokers' mean score on Avoidance-oriented Coping was significantly lower than the never and the current smokers. Ten percent of the students smoked their first cigarette after high school, while 11 percent started to smoke on a daily basis after high school. Based on the findings, programs that focus on smoking prevention and cessation for college students are recommended.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThis study investigated the relationship between drinking motives and alcohol use among a nationally representative sample of college students with the alcohol flush reaction (AFR). We surveyed and analyzed the data of 2,245 male and 2,326 female college students in a nationally representative sample of 82 colleges in South Korea.MethodsOf our study population, 725 males (32.3%) and 812 females (34.9%) reported to currently suffering from AFR. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify the association between drinking motives and drinking behavior, measured via the AUDIT.ResultsRelative to drinking because of peer pressure, students drinking for pleasure (males: β = 2.622,p<.0001; females β = 2.769,p<.0001) or stress/depression (males: β = 2.479,p<.0001; females β = 2.489,p<.0001) had higher AUDIT scores. Among students drinking because of stress/depression, seniors (males: β = 3.603,p<.0001; females: β = 3.791,p= 0.000), smokers (males: β = 1.564,p= 0.000; females β = 1.816,p= 0.007) and/or liberal arts students (males: β = 6.1136,p<.0001; females β = 4.2105,p<.0001) consumed more alcohol than their peers. Relative to conformity motives, enhancement and coping motives were found to have a greater influence on alcohol intake among college students with alcohol flush reaction.ConclusionConsidering that the flush reaction can occur in AFR individuals after just one sip of wine, our results show that educators and policymakers must take action to deal with this problem.
