本研究旨在探討國小高年級學童的生活壓力、休閒因應策略及心理健康，探討其不同背景變項差異情形與相關性及生活壓力、休閒因應策略對心理健康之預測力，本研究採用問卷調查法，以新北市新莊區為母群體，隨機抽取十所新莊區國小，每所國小五、六年級各隨機抽取一班，有效樣本共529份（94.97%），並以次數分配、獨立樣本t檢定、皮爾森積差相關、迴歸分析方法進行統計資料分析。研究結果發現本區學童之性別對心理健康有影響力，女性學童的心理健康較男性佳，但在年級及家庭型態部分則無顯著影響；生活壓力能有效預測心理健康，學童生活壓力愈高，心理健康程度愈低，休閒因應策略對心理健康則不具預測力。本研究結果建議家長及師長應重視學童之壓力狀況，重視學童平時行為及情緒輔導，教育單位應增列學校專業輔導員及多舉辦親職講座並充實親職教育，促進家庭之和諧。

This study applied random stratified sampling method to survey primary school students in Xinzhuang District of New Taipei City. A total of 557 students were surveyed, and 529 of them were effective in analysis (94.97%). Independent T-tests, Pearsons' Correlation analysis, and Multiple Regression were employed in this study. Results of this study reveal that there are statistically significant differences of senior primary school students' sex on mental health. Female students have better mental health comparing to male students. Further, life stress negatively influences mental health.
