Effects of Online Health Promotion Program to Improve the Health and Wellbeing of Healthcare Students : A Feasibility Study
BACKGROUND: Healthcare students' health and wellbeing have been seriously affected worldwide. Research studies highlighted the need to establish health promotion strategies to improve them.
METHODS: A mixed method feasibility with a randomized controlled trial study followed by qualitative focus-group interviews to evaluate the effect of a 24 h online health promotion program improving healthcare students' health and wellbeing was performed in mid-2022. The study also illustrated the program's effect, contents, and activity arrangements. Healthcare students from two large tertiary institutions were randomly assigned to intervention and waitlist-control groups. Outcomes were measured by self-completed online questionnaires at three-time points (baseline, week four, and week eight), and in-depth focus-group interviews followed.
RESULTS: Among 70 enrolled and 60 eligible students, 54 completed the study, with a 10% attrition rate. Results demonstrated a significant difference between groups at week eight. Within the intervention group, there were significant differences were found from baseline to week eight for depression (p = 0.001), anxiety (p = 0.004), and stress (p < 0.001). The program also improved certain domains of personal wellbeing and quality of life. Qualitative findings further illustrated the program contents and activities' feasibility, acceptability, and suitability. Most participants welcomed the online mode's flexibility and convenience. They enjoyed diversified and complementary content and activities. They had increased self-awareness of health and wellbeing. Besides, mental health knowledge enables them to 'self-care' and help those in need in the future.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate the feasibility of performing full-scale research in the future and may provide more support for the students of higher education institutions.
