Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the mediation effects of self-efficacy on the relationship between life stress and depression in university students to provide a basis for planning nursing interventions to improve the mental health of university students. Methods : Data were collected from September 1 to September 30, 2015 by giving a questionnaire to 272 university students. The instruments for this study were life stress, self-efficacy, and depression. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results : There were significant correlations among life stress, self-efficacy, and depression. Additionally, self-efficacy had a mediating effect on the relationship between life stress and depression. Conclusions : Based on the findings of this study, health management programs focusing on stress management and self-efficacy improvement are highly recommended to promote good mental health in university students.
