Furthermore, a Linear regression analysis was used to verify,Gender has a regulatory effect between mental health (MH) and health promotion behavior (HPB) among music students. Interpersonal relationship factors (PRF), personal emotional factors (PEF), and health promotion behavior (HPB) are positively correlated with mental health problems (MH), and health promotion behavior (HPB) has a significant mediating effect between interpersonal relationship (PRF) and mental health (MH). Health promotion behavior (HPB) showed a significant complete mediating effect between personal emotional factors (PEF) and mental health (MH).The findings suggest further research on the mental health problems of musical college students and provide a solid foundation for the importance of mental health management in future musicians.
