本研究では、大学院生の心の健康度や疲労度等の心理的・精神的な状態と、心の健康状態に影響を与える要因について明らかにすることを目的とした。山口県立大学大学院の健康福祉学研究科の在学生および修了生45名を対象とし、基本属性、大学院修学状況、家族、仕事、プライベートに関する各種要因の質問紙及び主観的健康感尺度を用いて、調査を実施した。調査の結果、心の健康度は論文執筆前が最も高く、心の健康度の低い学生は論文執筆前より論文執筆中に有意に多かった。また、心の健康度の低い学生には在籍年数の長い学生が有意に多かった。心の疲労度は、論文執筆前、論文執筆中と修了後の間で差はなかった。
In this study, a survey was conducted to examine the mental health status of graduate students, such as psychological health and degree of fatigue, and the factors that affect mental health status. The subjects were 45 students and graduates of the Graduate School of Health and Welfare at Yamaguchi Prefectural University, at three stages of graduate training: “before writing,” “while writing,” and “after graduation.” The survey included questions about basic attributes, family, work, privacy, factors associated with the graduate school, and subjective health. Results showed that psychological health was highest among students at the “before writing” period, and there were significantly more students with low psychological health at the “while writing” period than at the “before writing” period. Furthermore, there was a significant association between low psychological health and long years of schooling. There were no significant differences in mental fatigue between students "before writing,” "while writing,” and “after graduation.”
