Abstract

Objective Analyzing the correlation between TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) constitution classification and psychological pressure among college students, to provide a reference for its incorporation into an early warning and intervention program. Methods From September to December 2022, this study assessed the use of TCM and psychological pressure among 1 157 college students from six universities in Nanjing, China, who were selected using the convenience sampling method and online surveys. Factors associated with psychological stress among college students was ranked by the random forest model. The Chi-square test, pearson correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression were performed to analyze the factors associated with psychological pressure among college students. Results The results of the random forest showed that the top three TCM constitutions of psychological stress among this population included qi stagnation, blood stasis and balanced constitutions. The Pearson correlation analysis showed that the scores of qi stagnation (r=0.75), blood stasis (r=0.66) and qi deficiency (r=0.62) constitutions were positively correlated with psychological pressure, while the scores of balanced constitution (r=-0.65) were negatively correlated with psychological pressure (P < 0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that qi stagnation and blood-stasis constitutions were positively correlated with psychological pressure. Conclusion Qi stagnation, blood stasis and qi-deficiency constitutions can be used as early warning constitutions and indicators for interventions aimed at addressing psychological pressure among college students, and in this respect, a balanced constitution can be regarded as a protective factor. Greater attention should be paid to the mental health of college students with a biased constitution.
