想家in college students: the role of religion in combating depression

想家is the distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from home. Homesickness is an issue that affects number of college students where college students living far from home suffer from depression and various forms of depression. The transition to college or university can be an exciting new experience for many young adults. For some, intense homesickness can make this move difficult, even unsustainable. Homesickness-defined as the distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from home-carries the unique hallmark or preoccupying thoughts of home and attachment of objects. Suffers of homesickness report depression and anxiety and usually display withdrawn behavior. They also have difficulty focusing on topics unrelated to home. This problematic situation can lead to new mental and physical problems and sometimes lead to withdrawal from school.

宗教，，，，the belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers, regarded as creating and governing the universe, has been defined differently across different studies and the extent of the impact of religion on one's basic life varies from one study to another. It has acted as a buffer against a variety of health and adjustment outcomes.

这项当前研究的重点是确定宗教与居家和沮丧的关系。它还调查了它在抗击乡间的抑郁症中起着作用的作用。

假设

我们假设宗教性将调节居家和沮丧之间的关系。

方法

参与者

参与者是从新生到老年人的83名（50名男性，33名女学生）。在83名参与者中，有7％是15-17岁的年龄组，而65％的参与者是年龄组18-20的年龄组，而年龄组21-23岁的参与者则为28％。参与者的宗教从伊斯兰教到印度教各不等，伊斯兰教是所有人的主导地位。就家庭结构而言，有80％的参与者居住在核心家庭中，而只有20％的参与者没有。

措施

宗教信仰：使用五点李克特量表对宗教进行评估，参与者必须选择从未经常到的选择。提出问题以确定与个人不同的宗教水平。为了调查宗教问题的水平，例如“您多久在清真寺/教堂/寺庙以外的其他地方私下祈祷？”和“您多久参加一次宗教聚会？”除了问他们是否相信一个看着他们的上帝。还要求在过去六个月中阅读他们的圣书等问题，以确定他们的宗教信仰。

想家。使用5点李克特量表确定了乡只能，其中1个是“永不和5”，分数较高，表明更多的归属感症状。两个问题“我在学期休息期间几乎没有访问家”和“我很少打电话回家”被“您多久回家？”所取代？和“您多久打电话回家？”防止任何形式的偏见。

沮丧。抑郁症也是通过5点李克特量表来衡量的，在上个月中，询问参与者对陈述的想法和感受，例如“您多久觉得事情发生了？”和“您多久发现您无法应付所有必须做的事情？”还要求问题根据朋友确定他们的社交生活和个性。

Procedure

参与者were asked to fill the questionnaire which was posted on the facebook group and sent to them through mail. Some were interviewed too while others were given hard copies to fill the survey. All 83 participants completed all measures.

LIMITATIONS

All data collected from censuses and surveys will have errors. Errors are inevitable in any survey. However, our ethical code requires us to be honest about the limitations of our data/survey. Some of the limitations that we faced while conducting research for this project were

• 随机错误

在调查研究中，随机错误是最常见和不可避免的限制。这些是由于调查过程中的自然和不可控制的变化而发生的，即受访者的情绪。

• Data processing error

在收集和分析数据期间遇到的错误。例如，在编译结果时忽略某些响应。

• 受访者错误
  • 填写问卷时，由于受访者的粗心性而虚假陈述将导致数据积累不准确
  • 填写问卷的人的回答是不可接受的，并把它当作一个笑话。

• 底价

尽管我们尽力超越了，但可能以某些少数宗教群体被省略的形式进行了降低，例如琐罗亚斯德教徒等。

• 偏见样品选择

抽样中的一些意外偏见可能发生了，因为我们只调查了住在旅馆的家中的学生。没有考虑生活在自己的住宿或亲戚中的学生。

RESULTS

在仔细考虑了调查结果之后，得出的结论是，与宗教联系更多的学生不太可能被沮丧和想家。
