Recent research in the United States and Canada has suggested that mental health (e.g., anxiety and depression) differs between student-athletes and student non-athletes. However, the results are ambivalent as to whether student-athletes experience more or less psychological distress than their non-athlete peers. To address this gap, the purpose of the current study was to measure the levels of psychological distress in a national sample of 284 university student-athletes. Each athlete completed the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6; Kessler et al., 2002) via a secure online platform. The average score on the K6 for student-athletes was 8.2 out of 24; 19.8% of the sample surpassed the cut-off for assessing the prevalence of severe mental illness. A regression analysis found that gender, starting status, and scholarship status significantly predicted levels of psychological distress. Females, non-starters, and student-athletes without a scholarship were associated with increases in K6 scores.  \nRésumé  \nLa santé mentale des étudiants postsecondaires canadiens fait l’objet de beaucoup de recherches, mais il existe relativement peu de preuves entourant la santé mentale des étudiants-athlètes postsecondaires canadiens. La recherche récente aux États-Unis et au Canada suggère que la santé mentale (par exemple, l’anxiété et la dépression) varie entre étudiants-athlètes et  \nCJHE / RCES Volume 49, No. 1, 2019  \nPsychological Distress and University Student-Athletes/ P. Sullivan, M. Blacker, & J. Murphy 48  \nnon-athlète étudiants. Cependant, les résultats sont ambivalents à savoir si les étudiants-athlètes éprouvent plus ou moins de détresse mentale que les pairs non-athlètes. Pour combler cette lacune dans la recherche, la présente étude vise à déterminer les niveaux de détresse mentale dans un échantillon pancanadien de 284 étudiants-athlètes postsecondaires. Chaque athlète a étéévalué selon le Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6; Kessler et al., 2002) par l’entremise d’une plateforme en ligne sécurisée. Le résultat moyen chez le K6 pour les étudiants-athlètes était de 8,2 sur 24; 19,8% de l’échantillon a dépassé le seuil d’évaluation de la prévalence de la maladie mentale grave. Une analyse de régression a révélé que le sexe, le fait d’être de ceux qui commencent le match, de même que le statut de boursier, prédisent de manière significative les niveaux de détresse mentale. Les femmes, ceux quine commencent pas le match, et les étudiants-athlètes sans bourse ont obtenudes scores K6 plus élevés.  \nIntroduction  \nResearch into the mental health and distress of university students shows consistent, alarming findings (Hunt & Eisenberg, 2010; Stallman, 2010). The 2009 summary by the Ontario College Health Association (OCHA) of the mental health of Canadian university and college students reported that students are more than twice as likely to report psychological distress than non-students. A Canadian survey conducted in 2016 found that 46.1% of Canadian students felt “so depressed that it was difficult to function,” and 65.4% of respondents felt “overwhelming anxiety” within the last 12 months (American College Health Association, 2016) .  \nWhile research has identified that post-secondary students are at a higher risk of mental illness compared to non-students, additional factors influencing mental health have also been found. One of the most widely cited factors in both the general population and the university setting is gender, with females consistently di","cbCaictJqrcYLwMD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaictJqrcYLwMD","pdf",948757,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## University student mental health and distress in Canada\n## Gender and other influencing factors\n# Literature Review\n## Student-athletes as a distinct subgroup","[{\"question\":\"What was the main purpose of this study?\",\"answer\":\"To measure levels of psychological distress in a national sample of 284 Canadian university student-athletes.\"},{\"question\":\"How were psychological distress levels measured?\",\"answer\":\"Each athlete completed the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) through a secure online platform.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors significantly predicted psychological distress levels?\",\"answer\":\"Gender, starting status, and scholarship status significantly predicted K6 distress levels, with females, non-starters, and athletes without a scholarship showing higher scores.\"}]","Levels of Psychological Distress of Canadian University Student-Athletes - Article | PDF",1792083740,33]
