Aims
This study aims to identify factors associated with mental health literacy (mental health knowledge and attitudes towards mental health and help‐seeking behaviours), depression and anxiety amongst adolescents, and test the hypothesised model by examining the interrelationships between these outcomes.
Design
Cross‐sectional descriptive quantitative research.
Methods
Using convenient sampling, 615 adolescents from four public schools completed online questionnaires measuring mental health literacy, depression, and anxiety. The data were analysed using Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression, and structural equation modelling (SEM).
Results
Individual factors (e.g., gender, physical health and past traumatic experiences), family factors (e.g., parental criticism and family support) and school/community factors (e.g., academic pressure and safety) were associated with mental health outcomes. SEM revealed an association between higher mental health knowledge and better attitudes towards mental health and help‐seeking behaviours but did not show a significant association with depression and anxiety.
Conclusions
Findings emphasise the need for holistic and culturally safe approaches to address adolescent mental health in Indonesia.
Implications
Future research should focus on developing and evaluating tailored mental health interventions in Indonesia that address individual, family, school, and community factors. These interventions should target the interrelated aspects of mental health literacy, depression, and anxiety identified in this study. Key areas for intervention include enhancing self‐esteem, promoting help‐seeking behaviours, supporting spirituality, managing long‐term conditions, improving sleep hygiene, encouraging physical activity, teaching stress management techniques, fostering diversity, managing trauma, and combating discrimination. A comprehensive approach to adolescent mental well‐being should integrate parental involvement, peer support systems, community engagement initiatives, and mental health literacy education.
Impact
This research informs future interventions such as school‐based programs, family‐oriented campaigns, and community initiatives to support adolescent mental health, potentially influencing policy decisions, and resource allocation in mental health services.
Reporting Method
STROBE guidelines.

... Body image confidence was found to have a significant impact on the risk of anxiety and depression among nursing college students, with OR of 1.9 and 1.8, respectively. These findings are consistent with international literature highlighting the detrimental effects of body dissatisfaction on mental health outcomes, specifically anxiety and depression [11], [12]. According Lim (2023), insecurity regarding one's appearance may hinder social integration and lead to negative self-perceptions due to external judgments [11]. ...

Background: As society develops, many aspects can cause pressure on human life, so mental health is a top concern of many countries in the world. Nursing students are considered to be at high risk of experiencing mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression, and related factors among nursing college students. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 533 nursing college students using the DASS 21 scale, with an online survey conducted via Google Forms. Results: The prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among nursing college students were 56.7%, 71.5%, and 51.0% respectively. Adaptability, satisfaction with appearance, ease of making new friends, and alcohol consumption were factors related to the stress, anxiety, and depression of nursing college students. Conclusion: Stress, anxiety, and depression were high levels among nursing students and were associated with several factors. Mental health issues in students, specifically stress, anxiety, and depression, need to be addressed. There is an urgent need to plan stress, anxiety, and depressionappropriate intervention strategies to improve students' mental health.
Academic pressure, stress, and associated factors are pervasive throughout education. Lately, depression, anxiety, and stress emerged as alarming mental health issues among health science students. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 2,064 students at Can Tho Medical College to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress, along with associated factors. Data were collected online using the DASS-21 questionnaire via Google Forms. The prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and stress among college students were 52.4%, 73.1%, and 58.8%, respectively. Factors associated with these conditions included gender, body satisfaction, daily smartphone use, primary smartphone activities, satisfaction with academic performance, ease of forming friendships, and presence of close friends. As depression, anxiety, and stress were significant concerns among medical college students, educators should implement screening programs and develop strategies to improve and enhance students’ mental health.
Background
Appearance anxiety and depression have become common and global public health problems worldwide, especially among adolescents. However, few studies have revealed the mechanisms between them. This study aimed to explore the multiple mediating roles of interpersonal sensitivity and social support between appearance anxiety and depression among medical college students.
Methods
With 13 invalid samples excluded, 724 college students participated in our survey and completed questionnaires. The average age of 724 samples was 19.8 ± 2.02 including freshman to senior year and graduate school and above; 31.9% of the participants were male and 68.1% were female. SPSS 25.0 and Hayes’ PROCESS macro were used for statistical description, correlation analysis and built multiple mediation models.
Results
Appearance anxiety can not only directly affect depression, but also indirectly affect depression through three significant mediating pathways: (1) IS (B = 0.106, 95% CI [0.082–0.132]), which accounted for 49.77% of the total effect, (2) SS (B = 0.018, 95% CI [0.008–0.031]), which accounted for 8.45% of the total effect, and (3) IS and SS (B = 0.008, 95% CI [0.003–0.014]), which accounted for 3.76% of the total effect. And the total mediating effect was 61.97%.
Limitations
It is a cross-sectional research method and the causal relationship is unclear.
Conclusions
This study found that lower interpersonal sensitivity and higher social support can effectively reduce depression caused by appearance anxiety among college students. The schools and relevant departments should take measures to reduce the interpersonal sensitivity of college students and establish reliable social support, so as to reduce the occurrence of depression.
