Personal Problems and Risk for Depression among Senior High School Students: Basis for Mental Health Intervention Program
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 14, Issue 8
Abstract
The researcher sought to investigate the relationship between Personal Problems and Risk for Depression Among Senior High School Students. The Mooney Problem Checklist (MPCL) and the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale 6 -; KADS 6 were administered as measures to a convenience sample of 227 Senior High School Students from Ignacio Villamor High School. Relationships between Personal Problems and Risk for Depression were tested with chi-square tests. Findings indicate a weak correlation between the majority of respondents' personal problems and risk for depression. The variables under personal problems such as health and physical development, finances, living conditions and employment, courtship, sex and marriage, social-psychological relations, morals and religions, personal-psychological relations, and learning (curricular and extracurricular activities) are found to be positively correlated to depression. Personal problems in terms of recreation (social and recreational activities), home and family, and career (future-vocational and educational) are found to be negatively correlated to depression. It is concluded that the respondents' risk for depression is significantly correlated with their personal educational challenges (adjustment to schoolwork). A proposed mental health intervention program was developed for the respondents.
