ABSTRACT

The study examines the mental and emotional well-being of physical education students at Guangdong Vocational College of Posts and Telecommunications. The research uses a descriptive-comparative design and three questionnaires. The majority of students are 17 years old or more, with a higher percentage of females. The study found no significant difference in student respondents' assessments of how their teachers deliver the comprehensive college health education program in terms of mental and emotional well-being. However, there was a significant difference in assessment when considering the course, with students pursuing education having a higher mean score and liberal arts students having a lower mean score. Teacher respondents, all full-pledge master's degree holders, had a high mean of 3.60 in terms of mental well-being, indicating that students have learned essential skills through self-reflection and emotional expression. Both male and female teachers have the same evaluation of their students' mental and emotional well-being in relation to the comprehensive college health education program.
