social interaction, family support, perceived vulnerability, perceived severity,
perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-confidence. Analysis used

Results: The results showed there was a relationship between social interaction
(p=0.00), perceived vulnerability (p=0.00), perceived benefits (p=0.001) and self-
confidence (p=0,000) with students’ self-awareness in conducting psychosocial
screening. There was no relationship between knowledge (p=0.555), family
support (p=0.720), perceived severity (p=0.070), perceived barriers (p=0.748)
