The
purpose of the present study was to investigate the high school students’
mental health in the city of Qom. This study was a survey research. Statistical
population included all the female high school students in Qom city (15872).
Statistical sample was 340 students who were selected based on a random
classification and multi phase cluster sampling method from districts 1, 2 and
3 of the office of education in the city of Qom. The measurement instrument was SCL-90-R (Deragotis, 1994) which was
performed on a group method in different schools. Data analysis revealed that
the means were higher than the test margin (0.7) for all the factors. Regarding the prevalence of
psychological problems, depression factor showed a prevalence of 67
percent which was the highest and phobia factor with 21.6 percent which was the
lowest. Comparing the mean psychological problems of female high school
students by ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference only on
depression factor and there were no significant differences in other factors.
The findings in this study indicated that mental health among female high
school students was not favorable. Therefore it seems
necessary to provide female high school students with psychological mental
health and mental hygiene.
