Abstract

The study developed items of a counseling service questionnaire to aid counselors and universities in supporting students’ mental health. The participants of this study were 1,022 Chinese college students from three universities in Thailand. The questionnaire included development items and content validity and reliability testing. The questionnaire contained 17 items covering four aspects: (1) developmental counseling; (2) adaptive counseling; (3) disorder counseling; and (4) intervention in psychological crises. The results showed that the counseling services questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to determine students’ mental health.
