Abstract

Objective: to synthesize peer-reviewed research exploring postsecondary instructors' experiences with undergraduate students with mental health (MH) symptoms.

Methods: English-language, peer-reviewed primary research articles published between 2010 and 2021 were included. Themes and subthemes were analyzed.

Results: Ten articles met criteria. Three themes emerged: Instructor Actions in the Moment, with subthemes Talking with Students, Making Referrals, and Doing Nothing; Processing the Complex Emotional Impact, with subthemes Caring and Confidence, Powerlessness and Apprehension, Struggle with Boundaries, and Worry about Safety; and Needs Unmet by the Institution, with subthemes Wanted Disclosure, Wanted MH Training, Wanted Clear Policies, Wanted Institutional Support, and Wanted Robust Campus Counseling Services. Lack of resources was the major reported impediment.

Conclusions: Several implications for institutions emerge. MH education should be provided for instructors. Institutions should ensure MH policies are clear and easily accessible. Institutions should acknowledge instructors' efforts with students. Finally, training on applicable laws surrounding student MH should be available.

大学辅导员处理有心理健康症状的本科生的经验：系统综述。

目的：综合同行评审研究，探讨中学后教师对有心理健康（MH）症状的本科生的经验。方法：纳入2010年至2021年间发表的英文、同行评审的主要研究文章。对主题和次主题进行了分析。结果：10篇文章符合标准。出现了三个主题：讲师当下的行动，副标题为“与学生交谈”、“推荐”和“无所事事”；处理复杂的情感影响，以关心和自信、无能为力和恐惧、与边界作斗争和担心安全为主题；以及机构未满足的需求，分主题为“想要披露”、“想要MH培训”、“需要明确的政策”、“希望机构支持”和“希望强有力的校园咨询服务”。据报告，缺乏资源是主要障碍。结论：对机构产生了若干影响。应为教员提供MH教育。各机构应确保MH政策清晰易懂。院校应承认导师与学生的合作。最后，应提供有关MH学生适用法律的培训。
