摘要

Background

To enable healthy study conditions, universities are increasingly offering programmes and activities for student health management. It is necessary to include the student perspective in order to design these programmes in line with requirements. To consider the student perspective on their own well-being, the following research question is investigated: How should student health management be designed to improve subjective well-being during studies?

Methods

Ten students from different disciplines at Bielefeld University were interviewed from May to July 2023. The core aspects of the problem-centred interviews were subjective well-being and the associated use of health-related services at the university. The interviews were analysed using a deductive–inductive approach.

Results

Students defined well-being primarily in terms of social interaction and the absence of stress. Stress is triggered or intensified by examination phases during their studies. Most students took advantage of the university’s exercise programmes and canteen. Offerings for stress and time management were rarely used, although the need was high. Utilisation was positively influenced by free offers and a sense of community. Unawareness, misguided communication and long waiting lists were identified as barriers for utilisation.

Conclusion

Well-being on campus is created through sport, easily accessible meal options and social interaction. Counselling services were used, but were not primarily associated with health by the respondents. The promotion of well-being in the areas of exercise, nutrition and social contacts was fulfilled through university programmes. In order to compensate for the high health and psychosocial burdens, behavioural measures should be established and structural framework conditions changed. Student health management should take greater account of students’ information needs and the social aspects of studying.
