This study aims to evaluate the intervention effect of the Vocational College’s Personalized Education Management and Psychological Intervention on students’ depression. Depression among students is a significant concern in educational settings, and proactive measures are needed to mitigate its impact.
This research engaged a cohort of 200 vocational college students, aged between 18 and 22, who were initially screened for signs of depressive symptoms through the utilization of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). The participants were then divided equally into two groups: the experimental group (n=100) and the control group (n=100). Within the experimental group, students received individualized educational guidance and psychological interventions delivered by the vocational college. Conversely, the control group participants were subjected to standard educational protocols over three months. The extent of depression was evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) before and after the intervention.
Analysis of the data using SPSS23.0 showed that the experimental group, who received the personalized education intervention, demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in depression scores, as assessed by the HAM-D, compared to the control group (P<0.001). The intervention group showed an overall decrease of 40% in depression symptoms, indicating the positive impact of the intervention in reducing depression among students.
The findings suggest that Vocational College’s Personalized Education Management and Psychological Intervention significantly reduces depression among students. The results indicate the importance of implementing personalized education management strategies and psychological interventions to address and prevent depression among students in vocational college settings. Further research and development of similar interventions are encouraged to promote mental well-being among this population.
