Lifestyles and academic stress among health sciences students at the National University of Chimborazo, Ecuador: a longitudinal study.

The significant changes experienced by university students in their training are inherent to educational processes. Social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, online education and the reopening of higher-education institutions produced substantial variations in the lifestyle of university students in health sciences and generated academic stress and perceived stress. This study was conducted at the National University of Chimborazo (UNACH), a public institution located in Riobamba, central Ecuador, the diverse student's population provided an ideal setting for examining the interplay between academic and perceived stress, lifestyle factors, and learning modalities. The research focused on health sciences students across six academic programs. The university's geographical position and demographic characteristics offered a representative sample for investigating these factors within the context changing. To compare academic and perceived stress and university students' lifestyles at two different periods: (1) during the mandatory social confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic with an online learning modality (T1); (2) in the post-pandemic period with a return to face-to-face activities (T2). An observational, analytical, quantitative, and longitudinal study. Students from six programs (Nursing, Physiotherapy, Clinical Laboratory, Medicine, Dentistry, and Clinical Psychology) from the Faculty of Health of the National University of Chimborazo-Ecuador (n = 2,237) participated voluntarily, the students had one mean age of M = 21.31 (SD = 2.36) at T1 and M = 22.94 (SD = 2.40) at T2. Non-probability convenience sampling was employed due to the accessibility of the student population and the importance of including the maximum number of relevant individuals within the study population. The following instruments were used: Nola Pender's Lifestyle Profile Questionnaire, Cognitive Systemic Inventory for the study of academic stress, and Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale. In T1 and T2, students reported high levels of stress, and increased unhealthy lifestyle increased with the return to classrooms. Additionally, upon returning to face-to-face activities (T2), the mean score applied to the responses of Nola Pender's Lifestyle Profile Questionnaire decreased from M = 113.34 (SD = 23.02) to M = 107.2 (SD = 29.70; p < 0.001). There was significant difference (p < 0.001) in academic stress in T1 [M = 66.25 (SD = 15.66)] and T2 [M = 64.00 (SD = 17.91)]. Upon returning to university classrooms (T2), the number of students who reported an "unhealthy" lifestyle increased. Academic stress was high in T1 and T2 and was reported higher in online activities during social isolation.

Lifestyle construction on Instagram media on consumer behavior of students at the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication

ABSTRACT Teenagers' playtime and study time, especially students, are influenced by advances in communication technology, both positively and negatively. Students use social media to communicate with friends, share homework, play games, and/or fill their free time, to do college assignments. This study aims to examine how students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program at UIN Sumatera Utara use Instagram in their daily lives related to the wasteful behavior of students. The method used in the study is qualitative carried out through observation by conducting direct observations, interviews conducted through interaction, and documentation made in references from literature related to the focus of the study. The results of the study indicate that Instagram plays an important role in shaping the lifestyle of consumptive students. Students are often influenced by content that displays a luxurious lifestyle, which encourages them to shop for unnecessary items and try to display an ideal image on social media. This finding is consistent with the theory of social construction which states that social media users can create reality through interaction on the platform. This study highlights the use of Instagram social media which can influence student behavior that tends to be consumptive, although this is not entirely a problem caused by the presence of social media in the current era. Keywords: Social Media, Instagram, Behavior.

Smartphone Addiction and Sleep Quality among Medical Students

The availability of smartphones and their multi-functionality make them indispensable devices in day-to-day life, especially among students. When smartphone use goes beyond necessity and turns into addiction, the consequences can affect various aspects of life such as mental health, sleep quality, and academic performance. The focus of this research was assessing the presence of smartphone addiction and its association with sleep quality among medical students of the University of Novi Sad. In this cross-sectional study, using the Smartphone Addiction Assessment Scale (SAS-SV) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), an online survey method, we included 119 medical students, mean age 21.5 (SD±2.8), from of which 75.6% were female students. The obtained results indicate the absence of smartphone addiction (SAS-SV=25.6; SD ±9.1) and the presence of poorer sleep quality (PSQI=5.9; SD±3.3). The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 21%, while the prevalence of poor sleep quality was around 46%. The established moderate positive, statistically significant, correlation between the scores of the questionnaire indicates that increasing the presence of smartphone addiction can worsen the sleep quality in medical students. The need for further research on this subject, on a wider, more representative sample, was recognized. As the complexity of the study program dictates the characteristic lifestyle of students, timely education and raising awareness of the potential risks of behavioral addictions is considered desirable, even necessary.

Psychological distress, health-promoting lifestyle and sociodemographic factors in Honduran university students: a structural equation model.

This study sought to analyze an explanatory model on the relationship among sociodemographic factors, health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress) in college students. This is an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study conducted on a national sample of 4203 students who entered a macro university in Honduras in 2021, 2022 and 2023. We used a sociodemographic survey, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21). Univariate analysis and a multivariate structural equation model were conducted. The average HPLP-II score was 117.45 (± 23.41), and the average DASS-21 score was 20.06 (± 14.16). The multivariate model showed a good data fit (comparative fit index = 0.951; Tucker-Lewis index = 0.957; root mean square error of approximation = 0.067 [90% CI = 0.067-0.068]). Results indicate that being a woman (β = 0.11; p < 0.001) and being enrolled in biological and health sciences (β = 0.09; p < 0.001) significantly predict HPLP-II scores. Furthermore, being a woman (β = 0.17; p < 0.001), age (β = 0.10; p < 0.001) and having pre-existing medical conditions (β = 0.16; p < 0.001) significantly explain part of the variance of DASS-21. A significant reverse relationship between health-promoting behavior and psychological distress was shown (r = -0.36; p < 0.001). This study identifies protective and risky sociodemographic factors linked to health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and psychological distress. Our findings have implications for developing comprehensive intervention policies and strategies to promote health in higher education settings.

Facilitated Collaborative Group Co-Design of Hypothetical Digital Tools to Understand University Students’ Well-being Support Needs and Requirements

The number of students in higher education encountering issues with their well-being is increasing every year, with many struggling to seek appropriate support due to reasons such as stigma or lack of access to services. Consequently, digital well-being support tools may be best placed to address their needs; however, few of these tools involve students in the design process, and thus, there is a lack of clarity as to whether these tools meet the needs of students. Therefore, the aim of the present research was to provide a series of design considerations that should be incorporated in the design and development of digital tools to support student well-being. Co-design methods were used to develop these design considerations by understanding the well-being domains in which students want support, their views on existing digital supports, and their desired features in a digital support tool. Undergraduate students enrolled in a well-being module at an Irish University completed a facilitated group assignment in which they were required to co-design a hypothetical digital tool to support other students’ well-being. Deductive thematic analysis of the 10-min presentations of their tools was carried out. The overall findings were that:Students recognize all well-being domains as interconnected and view social connectedness and time management as crucial for them to find good balance in their lives and to thrive;Current digital well-being tools do not appropriately meet their needs, being too expensive, unmotivating, not suited to the student lifestyle and perceived as untrustworthy;Students desire a digital well-being tool that can give them structured and streamlined support and that clearly relates to their specific university environment;Specific desired features include the ability to log and visualize data, personalization capabilities, a motivational rewards system, and trustworthy educational information, tips and advice.

A healthy lifestyle of students is a resource for preserving the health of the working-age population in the near future

The issues of acceptance and support of a healthy lifestyle by various social and age groups of the population, especially among the younger generation and youth, through the pursuit of physical, mental and social well-being remain relevant. Educational organizations, including universities, are important actors in this direction, since their students will soon become leaders in society, decision makers, as well as parents of tomorrow. According to scientists, a weak attitude towards sports, lack of time for physical education lead to a vicious circle of focusing on intellectual education, high knowledge scores, low physical abilities and physical fitness. It is emphasized that universities should have organizational systems for managing educational materials, teaching staff, as well as technologies to improve learning processes through a technology platform. Universities are strategic places to launch a wellness campaign and «have conversations» about healthy lifestyles and sustainable development.

Strengthening children's health in a health-promoting school provides the opportunity to learn to live healthier lives

Lithuania's health-promoting schools have entered the fourth decade with their continuous long-term activity and rich experience. The very title unites two sectors, health and education, under one cohesive effort. A health-promoting school is a school where, through the involvement of the school community and social partners, students' healthy lifestyle skills are being developed and a physically and psychosocially favorable environment for the school community's health is created. The goal of health-promoting schools is to integrate health promotion activities into the entire school life, involving students, teachers, parents (guardians), specialists, and community members. In these schools, long-term and purposeful health promotion activities are carried out on a voluntary basis, and community members take care of their own and others' health in their daily activities. A wide range of institutions implements the concept of health-promoting schools: preschool, general education, vocational, and higher education institutions. They prioritize children's participation in health promotion and education programs, which is expected to lead to better child health. Health promotion activities are purposeful and carried out according to approved health promotion programs, which forms the basis of health-promoting schools. These programs encompass six areas of activity: health promotion activity management structure, policy and quality assurance, psychosocial and physical environment, human and material resources, health education, dissemination of health-promoting school experience within and beyond the school. Each school in this program highlights its own priorities, meets the needs of the school, addresses current issues, and proposes solutions. The activity in a health-promoting school is based on existing evidence and research or those discovered by the schools themselves. Research has shown that the lifestyle of students studying in health-promoting schools is healthier, educators pay more attention to health issues, parents (guardians) and the entire school community are involved in health promotion activities, thus it is necessary to develop the network of health-promoting schools in the perspective.
