Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to help Xinjiang minority college students who study in the mainland to solve psychological problems, to assist the first-line counselors in managing the education of Xinjiang minority college students, to prevent the occurrence of minority students psychological crisis events, to explore new ways of minority college students mental health education in Jilin province. Based on the psychological stress theory and the education practice of first-line counselors, this study analyzed the mental health status of Xinjiang minority college students in universities of Jilin province by means of questionnaire survey, interview and conversation, and comparative study. The results showed that Xinjiang minority college students who study in the mainland generally faced five major life stressors, including language barrier, interpersonal communication, employment worries, cultural differences and economic difficulties. This paper believes that these stressors can be divided into three main types: negative and positive stress reaction, acute and chronic stress reaction and stress reaction of daily frustration. Therefore, it should be dealt with from three aspects: stressors assessment, positive experience balance, and stressors anticipatory coping.
