Abstract
Objective:To explore the overall mental health status of vocational college students,in order to provide theoretical basis for mental health education.Methods: The meta-analysis method was used to analyze 51 studies which applied the Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90) between 2001 and 2010.Results: Vocational college students scored higher in obsessive-compulsive,interpersonal sensitivity,phobic anxiety and psychotism than the adult norms.There was no significant difference in all the factors of SCL-90 between vocational college students and university students.There was no gender or city-countryside difference in all the factors of SCL-90 in vocational college students.Conclusion: It suggests that the mental health status of vocational college students is worse than that of general population,and comparable to that of university students,with no significant differences between genders and city-countryside.
