           This study aims to explore the psychological resilience, self-efficacy, social support, and mental health status of vocational college students in Henan Province, China. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, the study employed convenience sampling to select 1032 students from five vocational colleges as the sample. Standardized questionnaires, including the Psychological Resilience Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, Social Support Scale, and Mental Health Scale, were utilized for data collection. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS and AMOS to ensure the validity and reliability of the research findings.

The results indicate significant differences in psychological resilience, self-efficacy, social support, and mental health among students with different background variables such as gender, grade level, and family economic status. Furthermore, the study found that self-efficacy mediates the impact of psychological resilience on mental health, while social support moderates this relationship. These findings suggest that vocational college students' mental health can be improved by enhancing their psychological resilience, self-efficacy, and social support networks. The research provides practical implications for education managers and mental health workers to develop targeted mental health education and intervention programs tailored to the unique needs of vocational college students in Henan Province.
