Aim:
The current study aimed to identify the association between social support, academic advising and mental health disorders among nursing students.
Background:
Stress and workload can trigger multiple mental health disorders, especially for nursing students. Thus, academic advising and counselling help support students with academic and mental health problems.
Design:
This cross-sectional study utilized online questionnaires in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) and the Student Academic Advising and Counseling Survey (SAACS) were utilized to measure social support, depression and anxiety and evaluation of academic advising and counselling services, respectively.
Results:
The study included 1134 nursing students (mean age of 20.3 years). Students with higher academic advising satisfaction were 37% less likely to experience depression (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.46-0.85) and mental disorders (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.94). Moderate family social support was associated with lower depression (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.37-0.93) and mental disorders (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.33-0.92).
Conclusion:
Academic advising and social support can mitigate mental health disorders among nursing students. These findings will help nurses and post-secondary providers develop strategies to support nursing students during difficult times.
