Sức khỏe tâm thần của học sinh trung học phổ thông qua dữ liệu thực chứng tại Việt Nam

Tóm tắt

In the context of rising mental health disorders among students following the COVID-19 pandemic and the shortage of psychological support systems in schools, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive and systematic understanding of this issue to inform policy development. The article compiles quantitative studies on the mental health of high school students conducted across Vietnam between 2020 and 2024, drawing data from 12 studies representing the North, Central, and South regions. Reported rates of anxiety range from 25% to 70%, depression from 12% to 60%, and stress from 23% to 64%. Identified risk factors include academic pressure, school violence, family disruption, digital exposure, and the lack of psychological support resources in schools. The paper proposes a set of coordinated policy recommendations for prevention, intervention, and recovery. It provides a critical scientific foundation for understanding the characteristics and interrelations of mental disorders within the school environment in contemporary Vietnamese society. The findings serve as a strategic orientation for designing effective intervention programs and offer policy recommendations at three levels: institutional, school-based, and familybased. This article is a valuable reference for education administrators, mental health professionals, and policymakers in developing a comprehensive school-based mental health care system in Vietnam.
