Abstract

Objective

To determine the mental health conditions of adolescents in the city of Manizales, Colombia, and explore risk regarding gender-based differences.

Materials and Methods

Quantitative, nonexperimental, descriptive research with associative scope. A total of 316 adolescents were assessed using five scales to evaluate mental health conditions: the Perceived Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Penn Alcohol Craving Scale and The Substance Dependence Severity Scale. Univariate and bivariate analysis was performed, Chi square and Odds Ratio were tested.

Results

The findings indicated that being female is a risk factor for high levels of perceived stress, depressive episodes and anxiety. Additionally, adolescents who are not attending school are at higher risk for dependence and abuse of psychoactive substances. Conversely, being female acts as a protective factor against dependence on psychoactive substances.

Conclusions

The findings suggest a higher tendency among the participants towards experiencing depressive episodes. Regarding perceived stress, 71.5% of the participants fell into the low category, while 70.6% experienced a current episode of generalized anxiety.

哥伦比亚青少年的心理健康状况:风险分析方法
目的 了解哥伦比亚马尼萨莱斯市青少年的心理健康状况,并探讨性别差异带来的风险。 材料与方法 定量、非实验、描述性、关联性研究。共对 316 名青少年进行了评估,使用了五种量表来评估心理健康状况:感知压力量表、患者健康问卷-9、广泛性焦虑症量表、宾大酒精渴求量表和药物依赖严重程度量表。研究人员进行了单变量和双变量分析,并对Chi square和Odds Ratio进行了检验。 结果 研究结果表明,女性是导致高压力感知、抑郁发作和焦虑的风险因素。此外,失学青少年依赖和滥用精神活性物质的风险更高。相反,女性则是防止依赖精神活性物质的保护因素。 结论 研究结果表明,参与者更倾向于经历抑郁发作。在感知压力方面,71.5%的受试者属于低压力类别,而 70.6%的受试者目前正处于广泛焦虑状态。
