    Many researchers have found that the key to future adaptations or maladaptations of children is the attachment they form with their parents (Davies & Sturge-Apple, 2007; Marvin & Britner, 2008). Early research on attachment has highlighted the impact of parent-child attachment continuing across life (Bowlby, 1982). Recent research has shown that insecure attachment during childhood impacts young adults’ attachment with their parents and in turn, impacts different aspects of their lives. However, no or limited studies have explored the direct relationship between attachment styles and young adults’ romantic relationships among Maldivian young adults. This study aimed to fill this gap by assessing the relationship between young adult’s parent child attachment, and the quality of romantic relationships among young adults in Higher Education Institutions in the Maldives. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 463 students aged 18 to 28 in higher education institutions in the Maldives. The data were collected using the Perceived Relationship Quality Scale by Fletcher et al. (2000) and the Attachment to Parent/Caregiver Inventory by Hu (2009). The data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and PLS SEM software. The results showed high levels of avoidant attachment with both mother and father among the participants, which was negatively associated with their current romantic relationship quality. In addition, it also showed an association between mother child anxious attachment, father-child anxious attachment, and the romantic relationship quality of young adults. Hence, a direct connection between insecure attachment styles (avoidant attachment and anxious attachment) and low levels of relationship quality was established.

    Prevalence and socio demographic correlations of anxiety, stress and depression among Undergraduate students of the Maldives National University
    (Maldives National Journal of Research, 2018-06) Shanoora, Aishath; Nawaza, Mariyam
    Early adulthood is a transitional period of life and is associated with the onset of a substantial amount of mental health issues and the continuation of these issues across life span. A large proportion of this population are students who have to deal with the societal and academic demands on a daily basis and hence are more susceptible to develop mental health issues than the non-student population. The high prevalence of psychological issues, specifically, depression, anxiety and stress among the student population is a major concern worldwide as it results in many negative consequences such as poor academic performance, increased rates of substance use, and even suicide. Thus, this study was aimed to find out the prevalence of these mental health issues; stress, depression and anxiety among the student population of Maldives National University (MNU) in relation to socio-demographic factors such as gender, year of study and location of study (Campus). A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based descriptive survey was conducted among 932 students of 4 different campuses of MNU. The questionnaire used to collect data included demographic information and DASS-42. The findings of this study suggest that whilst the majority of the student population has normal levels of depression, and stress, a considerable proportion of the student population are experiencing moderate to extremely severe levels of, depression and stress. More than 58% of the students were found to be experiencing moderate to severe level of anxiety. The findings also suggest that female students have higher prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress.A significant proportion of MNU students are suffering from stress, depression and anxiety. The study suggests the importance of conducting awareness programs of mental illness and treatment, with a particular focus on prevention and control of stress, depression and anxiety.
