The study investigated the influence of perceived social support, psychological distress, gender, and prior help-seeking experience on 417 Turkish university students’ help-seeking attitudes and current state of help-seeking. Four instruments were utilized: Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help-Shortened (ASPH-S), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and a demographic information form. The findings suggested that females possessed more favorable help-seeking attitudes than males, while no differences were found in terms of year of study. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that perceived social support (friends and significant other), prior help-seeking experience, and gender significantly predicted attitudes toward seeking psychological help. However, no relationship was found between psychological distress and help-seeking attitudes. Forty-seven percent of students were found to have knowledge of psychological services. Given that friends were the most frequently cited sources of information (24.2%) and sources of help (59%), personal relationships and gender need to be strongly considered in the design of intervention efforts to promote help-seeking attitudes.

土耳其大学生求助态度

该研究调查了感知社会支持、心理困扰、性别和先前的求助经历对 417 名土耳其大学生求助态度和求助现状的影响。使用了四种工具：缩短寻求心理帮助的态度 (ASPH-S)、感知社会支持的多维量表 (MSPSS)、一般健康问卷 (GHQ-12) 和人口统计信息表。研究结果表明，女性比男性拥有更有利的求助态度，而在研究年份方面没有发现差异。分层回归分析表明，感知到的社会支持（朋友和重要的其他人）、先前的寻求帮助经验和性别显着预测了寻求心理帮助的态度。然而，未发现心理困扰与寻求帮助的态度之间存在关系。47% 的学生被发现了解心理服务。鉴于朋友是最常被引用的信息来源 (24.2%) 和帮助来源 (59%)，在设计干预措施以促进寻求帮助的态度时，需要强烈考虑个人关系和性别。
