论文摘要
博士生报告的精神疾病症状患病率要比普通人群中受过高等教育的人高。这种情况给大学带来了一个严重的问题。因此,关于这种现象的知识在决策中非常重要。在本文中,我们使用自然博士调查2019并估算几种二项式逻辑回归模型来分析中断博士研究的风险。这种风险是通过主管或专业领域的变化的愿望,或者不攻读博士学位的愿望来衡量的。在解释性因素中,我们专注于焦虑/抑郁,歧视和欺凌的影响。作为控制变量,我们使用人口统计学特征和其他与博士学位有关的人。与主管的接触时间不足,并且超出了学习时间的时间 - 50小时的障碍是博士研究中断的危险因素,但最决定性的风险因素是精神健康不良。因此,大学应促进福祉的环境,该环境允许发展其博士生的自主权和韧性,或者在必要时,这促进了冲突解决技能的发展。
PhD students report a higher prevalence of mental illness symptoms than highly educated individuals in the general population. This situation presents a serious problem for universities. Thus, the knowledge about this phenomenon is of great importance in decision-making. In this paper we use the Nature PhD survey 2019 and estimate several binomial logistic regression models to analyze the risk of interrupting doctoral studies. This risk is measured through the desire of change in either the supervisor or the area of expertise, or the wish of not pursue a PhD. Among the explanatory factors, we focus on the influence of anxiety/depression, discrimination, and bullying. As control variables we use demographic characteristics and others related with the doctoral program. Insufficient contact time with supervisors, and exceeding time spent studying -crossing the 50-h week barrier-, are risk factors of PhD studies interruption, but the most decisive risk factor is poor mental health. Universities should therefore foster an environment of well-being, which allows the development of autonomy and resilience of their PhD students or, when necessary, which fosters the development of conflict resolution skills.
