Abstract   (177 Views)
Aims: Mental health literacy and personal knowledge management are significant factors in enhancing the individual and social performance of students. This research examined the status of these two parameters and their relationship among medical university students.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 involving 360 students from Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Participants were selected using a random stratified proportional sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through two questionnaires, one for mental health literacy and one for personal knowledge management. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, analysis of variance, LSD post-hoc tests, and correlation analysis.
Findings: The mean score of personal knowledge management in 50% of students was higher than the overall mean score, and 68.9% of students exhibited an insufficient level of MHL. There was a positive and significant relationship between mental health literacy and personal knowledge management (p=0.001). Women exhibited a higher level of mental health literacy (p=0.003), while men scored higher in personal knowledge management (p=0.001); PhD students had the highest scores in both parameters.
Conclusion: There is a direct and meaningful relationship between mental health literacy and personal knowledge management.
