Survey findings in a health-promoting university campus in Northern Germany: Monitoring students' health awareness and needs

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of a health-promoting project in a university faculty campus in northern Germany, involving students enrolled in nursing and health care, social work, and inclusive education programs, both in full-time and vocational tracks. The study explores students' current level of awareness regarding the main health-promoting activities through a baseline survey. The survey's primary objective was to inform and enhance the university's existing student health activities. This paper outlines the study design and presents the descriptive findings of the baseline survey data, focusing on students' awareness, involvement, and needs on campus. The survey represents a practice-oriented approach to actively monitor students' needs while raising awareness about health promotion within the university environment.
