“…Undergraduate students are at an important transitional stage and may face various new challenges, such as adjustment to college life, poverty, academic pressures, part-time work, and identity changes (24)(25)(26). These stressors might increase the risk of stress-induced mental health problems in undergraduate students, such as depression (27), poor sleep quality (28,29), and suicidal ideation (30).…”

Background and Aims: This three-wave longitudinal study investigated the effects of stressful life events on problematic smartphone use and the mediating roles of mental health problems (i.e., depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, and suicidal ideation) in Chinese undergraduate students.Methods: A total of 197 undergraduate students completed the three-wave surveys. Their severity of stressful life events, mental health problems, and problematic smartphone use were assessed.Results: Regression analyses revealed that stressful life events at T1 was significantly associated with problematic smartphone use at T3. Mediation analyses showed that mental health problems (i.e., depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, and suicidal ideation) at T2 fully mediated the association between stressful life events at T1 and problematic smartphone use at T3 (B = 0.042, 0.034, and 0.022, respectively).Conclusions: The present study revealed that stressful life events and mental health problems (i.e., depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, and suicidal ideation) are predictors of problematic smartphone use in Chinese college students.

“…Previous studies suggest that as many as 27% of Latinos experience elevated depressive symptoms any given time [ 4 ], and 11% experience elevated symptoms of anxiety [ 5 ]. By comparison, 7.9% of Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) experience elevated depressive symptoms [ 6 , 7 ], and 9% suffer from anxiety [ 8 , 9 ]. Furthermore, 14% of Latinos report a lifetime history of ataque de nervios [ 10 ], a cultural syndrome which the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-5 [ 11 ] classifies as a culturally-specific category of aberrant behaviors that don’t fit any other DSM disorders [ 12 ].…”

Background US Latinos report high levels of emotional distress. Having positive familial and friend social support buffers emotional distress among US Latinos, but thus far no research has been done on social support and ataque de nervios in that population, or on social strain and emotional distress. Methods This paper assesses social support and strain across three relationship types (partner, family, and friends) with three measures of emotional distress (depression, anxiety, and ataque de nervios). The sample for partner, family, and friend support included 508 Latino adults 21 and older. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the association of social support and strain with each outcome. Results As all social support types increased, the odds of emotional distress symptoms decreased. Conversely, as each unit of partner and family strain increased, the odds of emotional distress symptoms increased. Increased friend strain was associated with greater odds of depressive and anxiety symptoms only. Conclusion Social support in all three network types (partner, family, and friend) was associated with a decrease in the odds of emotional distress, assessed as symptoms of depression, anxiety, and ataque de nervios.

“…As a pilot study in this aspect, the current study brings new insights on the importance of a wellness course to the professional preparation of counselors-in-training and also has implications on the reconsideration of curriculum constituents of counselor education programs at the graduate level. In addition, recent research that explored college adjustment stressors, depression, and anxiety among the sample of Hispanic and White female college students has suggested that Hispanic students can benefit from help by addressing their mental health needs as they transition to college (Holliday et al, 2016). While exploring strategies that assist with adjustment stressors and improvement of mental health among college students attending predominately Hispanic institutions, it is beneficial to draw from experience of counselor preparation programs that focus on counselor wellness as of the main pillars of their preparation process.…”

This study examined how a special wellness course affects perception of meaningin-life and state-trait anxiety of Hispanic counselor trainees. A quantitative analysis showed an increase in participants' perception of meaning-in-life and a concurrent decrease in anxiety. Participants' self-reports revealed how their perception of meaning-in-life and anxiety levels changed over the course of time. Together, the results confirmed a strong inverse relationship between meaning-in-life and anxiety. The implications and applicability of the study were discussed. Resumen Este estudio examinó como una clase especial de salud, afectó la percepción de significado de vida y los razgos de ansiedad presentados por consejeros hispanos en entrenamiento. Un análisis cuantitativo demostró incremento en la percepción de los participantes de sentido de vida y una disminución correspondiente en ansiedad. Los reportes de participantes revelaron como su percepción de sentido de vida y niveles de ansiedad cambiaron a través del tiempo. Ambos resultados confirmaron una relación inversa fuerte entre sentido de vida y ansiedad. Implicaciones y aplicabilidad del estudio son discutidas.
