Thực trạng vấn đề hành vi - cảm xúc của học sinh trung học cơ sở: nghiên cứu trường hợp tại Hà Nội và Ninh Bình

Tóm tắt

Mental health disorders are an alarming problem among Vietnamese children and adolescents today. Behavioral - emotional issues in students in general are of interest to research by scientists, especially in the post-COVID-19 pandemic context, and are an important basis for promoting policies and mental health care and education. The article analyzes the current situation of some behavioral-emotional problems of secondary school students based on the classification system of T.M. Achenbach. The YSR scale is used as the main research method to screen for a number of behavioral-emotional problems on 462 middle school students in two provinces/cities, Hanoi and Ninh Binh. Research results show that the proportion of secondary school students with “clinical” signs of some behavioral-emotional problems ranges from 5.2% to 20.7%. In particular, students encountering problems in the introvert group are higher than those in the extrovert group; the rate of problems in female students is higher than that of male students. The social problems group had the highest proportion of students at the “clinical threshold” while the lowest was attention problems. The research results are an important reference to consider mental health issues of secondary school students in current school psychology prevention and intervention.
