ABSTRACT

There is a growing policy focus on children and young people’s mental health. The United Kingdom (UK) government has positioned schools as being well-placed to identify children and young people’s mental health needs and to provide appropriate intervention. At the same time, school staff report a lack of skills, knowledge and systems to support the early identification of mental health needs in order to inform appropriate intervention. The aim of this study was to explore the mental health and emotional needs of secondary age students from schools across the North West of England. Eight hundred and eighty-four students aged between 11 and 16 completed an online questionnaire comprising the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ), which measures depressive symptoms and the Human Givens Emotional Needs Audit (ENA), which explores the extent to which fundamental emotional needs (e.g., for attention, control and security) are met. The findings suggest prevalence rates of mental health and wellbeing difficulties increase with age. Emotional needs as measured in the ENA were found to moderately correlate with total scores on the SMFQ, suggesting the importance of supporting these identified needs in promoting wellbeing. Additionally, the ENA could potentially offer insight into why students may be experiencing problems, signposting practical areas of support. It is therefore proposed to be a measure that schools could use to identify factors contributing to children and young people’s experience of mental health and wellbeing and possible areas for intervention.

英国中学生的心理健康和情感需求

摘要

越来越多的政策关注儿童和青少年的心理健康。英国 (UK) 政府已将学校定位为能够识别儿童和青少年的心理健康需求并提供适当干预的有利条件。与此同时,学校工作人员报告缺乏技能、知识和系统来支持早期识别心理健康需求,以便为适当的干预提供信息。本研究的目的是探讨英格兰西北部学校中学生的心理健康和情感需求。884 名 11 至 16 岁的学生完成了一份在线问卷,其中包括衡量抑郁症状的短期情绪和感觉问卷 (SMFQ) 和人类吉文情绪需求审计 (ENA),它探讨了基本情感需求(例如,注意力、控制和安全感)得到满足的程度。研究结果表明,心理健康和幸福困难的患病率随着年龄的增长而增加。发现在 ENA 中测量的情感需求与 SMFQ 的总分适度相关,这表明支持这些确定的需求在促进幸福感方面的重要性。此外,ENA 可能会提供有关学生可能遇到问题的原因的洞察力,并指明实际的支持领域。因此,建议将其作为一种衡量标准,学校可以用来确定影响儿童和青少年心理健康和幸福体验的因素以及可能的干预领域。研究结果表明,心理健康和幸福困难的患病率随着年龄的增长而增加。发现在 ENA 中测量的情感需求与 SMFQ 的总分适度相关,这表明支持这些确定的需求在促进幸福感方面的重要性。此外,ENA 可能会提供有关学生可能遇到问题的原因的洞察力,并指明实际的支持领域。因此,建议将其作为一种衡量标准,学校可以用来确定影响儿童和青少年心理健康和幸福体验的因素以及可能的干预领域。研究结果表明,心理健康和幸福困难的患病率随着年龄的增长而增加。发现在 ENA 中测量的情感需求与 SMFQ 的总分适度相关,这表明支持这些确定的需求在促进幸福感方面的重要性。此外,ENA 可能会提供有关学生可能遇到问题的原因的洞察力,并指明实际的支持领域。因此,建议将其作为一种衡量标准,学校可以用来确定影响儿童和青少年心理健康和幸福体验的因素以及可能的干预领域。表明支持这些已确定的需求在促进福祉方面的重要性。此外,ENA 可能会提供有关学生可能遇到问题的原因的洞察力,并指明实际的支持领域。因此,建议将其作为一种衡量标准,学校可以用来确定影响儿童和青少年心理健康和幸福体验的因素以及可能的干预领域。表明支持这些已确定的需求在促进福祉方面的重要性。此外,ENA 可能会提供有关学生可能遇到问题的原因的洞察力,并指明实际的支持领域。因此,建议将其作为一种衡量标准,学校可以用来确定影响儿童和青少年心理健康和幸福体验的因素以及可能的干预领域。
