METHODS: A one-year interval follow-up investigation was conducted among 1788 Chinese students (71.5% girls, Mage = 19.5). Changes in help-seeking intentions were initially analyzed among four SITBs transition groups. Subsequently, a cross-lagged model was employed to explore the possible bidirectional associations.
RESULTS: 232 participants (12.90%) experienced changes in SITBs, while 65 participants (3.60%) exhibited sustained SITBs between two measurement time points. Changes in help-seeking intentions varied across SITBs transition groups. Participants whose SITBs faded 1 year later showed a significant increase in help-seeking intentions, whereas those who experienced newly developed SITBs across two measurement time points demonstrated a significant decline. The cross-lagged analysis revealed that help-seeking intentions negatively predicted the subsequent risk of experiencing SITBs.
CONCLUSIONS: Greater help-seeking intentions predicted decreased SITBs 1 year later. Changes in help-seeking intentions serve as a valuable indicator for distinguishing between different types of SITBs transition. These findings underscore the importance of implementing prevention and intervention strategies targeted at enhancing help-seeking intentions to reduce SITBs.
方法:对1788名中国学生进行了为期一年的随访调查(71.5%的女生,法师=19.5)。最初分析了四个SITB过渡组之间寻求帮助意图的变化。随后,采用交叉滞后模型来探索可能的双向关联。
结果:232名参与者(12.90%)经历了SITB的变化,而65名参与者(3.60%)在两个测量时间点之间表现出持续的SITB。各SITB过渡组之间寻求帮助意图的变化各不相同。SITB在1年后消失的参与者显示,寻求帮助的意图显着增加,而在两个测量时间点经历新开发的SITB的人表现出显著下降。交叉滞后分析显示,寻求帮助的意图负面地预测了随后经历SITB的风险。
结论:更高的求助意愿预测1年后SITB下降。寻求帮助意图的变化是区分不同类型的SITB过渡的宝贵指标。这些发现强调了实施旨在增强寻求帮助的意图以减少SITB的预防和干预战略的重要性。
