This paper outlines a pilot study in which an original 16-item problematic university life-style evaluation (PULSE) scale was developed and trialled with a small healthy sample to assess whether it is an appropriate tool to examine the relationship between university students' reported life-style choices and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Research suggests that problematic life-style and mental health issues are associated. As part of the scale development, two items were removed which improved the scale's internal consistency (a =.75) and adjusted the PULSE to a 14-item scale. A significant positive correlation between the PULSE and the DASS21 was found within the small sample of healthy students. Further research is needed to establish whether this relationship holds within larger clinical samples. These findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
