Objective : The purpose of study is to investigate the correlation between sensory processing pattern and depression and anxiety of university students.
Methods : A designed questionnaire for this study has been distributed to university students for about a month (10th to 29th of August, 2016). The questionnaire is consisted of 5 items for personal characteristics, 60 items for adult/adolescent sensory profile, 21 items from the Beck depression scale-2, and 21 items from the Beck anxiety scale. The data has been collected from 174 university students and analyzed by SPSS version 22.0 for descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation analysis, and Pearson correlation.
Results : For depression, there is significant positive correlation with low registration, sensory sensitivity, and sensory avoiding among the sensory processing patterns. For anxiety, all sensory processing patterns are significantly correlated with it.
Conclusion : Based on the result of this study, it is recommended for academic staffs or health care professionals to consider the impact of sensory processing patterns on psychological function when they develop an educational program for university students or plan a treatment for young clients.
