Mental wellness in United Arab Emirates female post-secondary studentsSmith, Megan Theresa, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Education January 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence of mental illness in a nonrandom
sample of undergraduate female Emirati students in the United Arab Emirates. In
addition, students’ views and attitudes towards counselling were solicited. One hundred
and twenty-three women completed Golberg and Hillier’s (1979) 28-item scaled version
of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The GHQ-28 revealed a high prevalence
of mental illness (51%) among the students surveyed, using a GHQ-28 threshold of eight.
Furthermore, students reported they held favourable views towards counselling despite
never having sought counselling services. The differences between American/European
and Arab views of mental illness are explored as one of several limitations to this study.
Recommendations for future research are noted. / xii, 117 leaves ; 29 cm
