Analysis on the influence of mental health education on career development planning for economics and management college students

Abstract

As a mainstay of society, college students’ mental health and career development plans complement each other and jointly determine their future development. The mental health status of college students affects their current learning tasks and also has a certain impact on their physical health. Career planning is a setting for every college student’s future, which is related to their future employment development and prospects, and the level of achievement, which has a great impact on their deep self-analysis and self-development. Due to the concept that career planning and mental health are interdependent, this study empirically analyzes the relationship between career development planning and the mental health of college students based on the group of college students in economics and management. This analysis makes students’ career planning and mental more healthy and sustainable. Specifically, this study uses the questionnaire survey method to collect data from 386 economics and management college students and conducts empirical analysis with the help of tools like Excel and Credamo. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the mental health level and the career planning level of these students. However, the major satisfaction of students has no significant correlation with their mental health and career planning levels. Therefore, it is suggested that society should create a good atmosphere for college students’ career planning and mental health education. Colleges and universities need to carry out mental health education at specific stages, combine it with the employment environment and situation, and optimize the education to highlight the principal position of students. At the same time, students themselves should also actively participate in self-exploration and self-improvement activities to enhance their self-awareness and the ability to plan their careers.
