Abstract
Adolescence is marked by rapid physical, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. They face emotional challenges in communication, self-control, conflict resolution, or problem solving. Therefore, high school students need to be consulted and supported both in the learning environment and in daily life. The study was carried out with the aim of identifying school consultation demand and factors affecting the consultation demand of high school students in the Mekong River Delta. The cross-sectional study was conducted with 450 participating students in Dong Thap Province. The results show that the scale measuring factors related to the school consultation demand has high reliability (Cronbach's Alpha > 0.6), The average value of the factors affecting the students’ demand for school counseling is, respectively, career guidance activities of 3.86/5, mental health of 3.80/5, life skills education of 3.73/5, learning method of 3.5/5, relationship with friends of 3.46/5, relationship with teachers of 3.31/5, and relationship with family of 3.25/5. Through multivariable regression analysis, the factors affecting the consultation demand of high school students in order of decreasing percentage of contribution to the model are career guidance activities (42.09%), psychological emotions (23.37%), relationships with friends (13.11%), relationships with teachers (11.18%), and life skills education (10.25%).
