“…Higher education institutions must attempt to train not only excellent professionals but also healthy individuals. Some Spanish universities, known as Health Promoting Universities, have accepted this challenge and are systematically implementing measures to promote health and wellbeing among the university population [ 61 ]. Future studies should compare the prevalence and level of psychological distress between the staff and the students enrolled in these universities, and those working and studying in non-health promoting ones.…”

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and associated factors in a population of college students. Method: Cross-sectional study of psychological distress measured through the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) in a sample of 1074 college students. Results: We found a moderate prevalence of depression (18.4%), anxiety (23.6%) and stress (34.5%) symptoms in our study population. Being <21, having problematic Internet use behavior, smoking, presenting insomnia and having a low self-esteem were independently associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Being a woman, living with their family, having a stable partner, consuming alcohol frequently and having poor nutritional habits were significantly associated with symptoms of stress; lacking a stable partner was significantly associated with depressive symptoms; and frequent consumption of alcohol was significantly associated with symptoms of anxiety. Conclusion: We found a moderate prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms in our population. Interventions aimed at promoting mental health among college students should be implemented.

“…Faced with this situation, it is crucial that institutions and public policies generate healthy and active environments. University settings are among the contexts that can reduce health disparities in students with disabilities since they provide facilities and material resources as well as staff for promoting healthy lifestyles and social wellbeing on and off campus [ 17 ]. The “Healthy Universities” initiative can be helpful in this regard because it runs campaigns and activities for PA promotion [ 18 ].…”

University settings are socio-environmental contexts that can reduce health disparities in students with disabilities. Therefore, the aim of this study was twofold: (a) to examine the longitudinal physical activity (PA) changes of Spanish university students with disabilities during a three-year period; and (b) to identify the accomplishment of the World Health Organization’s PA recommendations in this period. A three-year follow-up cohort study was conducted on 355 university students with disabilities (172 men, 183 women). The participants completed an electronic survey on PA after which a descriptive analysis, longitudinal (Wilcoxon tests) and cross-sectional pairwise comparisons (Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests) were performed on non-normal data. The results show no significant PA changes during the three-year period. The cross-sectional comparisons between the waves presented a reduction in vigorous PA according to sex and similar values by age, origin of disability, and socioeconomic status. A global reduction of 0.6% was found in achieving the recommendations between the waves. We also found an increase of 5.3% in the participants classified as overweight–obese during this period. The findings offered in this study have important implications for university disability care services and sports services. University policies should focus on rethinking PA and sports programs for students with disabilities.

“…La salutogénesis y el modelo de activos pueden considerarse como marcos de referencia para fortalecer los lineamientos que se centran en los recursos y procesos promotores de la salud (11,23,24). La carta de Okanagan recomienda a la educación superior utilizar un enfoque salutogénico para generar comunidades universitarias prósperas, empoderadas, conectadas y resilientes respaldadas por una cultura de bienestar (25,26), reconociendo la salutogénesis como uno de los modelos cruciales para el fortalecimiento de las UPS (5). Este enfoque se orienta a explorar el origen y mantenimiento de la salud, identificando recursos que ayudan a las personas a avanzar hacia una salud positiva (23).…”

“…Su finalidad es propiciar el desarrollo humano y mejorar la calidad de vida de quienes allí estudian o trabajan, proyectándolo en su entorno inmediato y futuro (3), lo que puede enmarcarse en la salutogénesis y el modelo de activos pues promueve la identificación de las condiciones y recursos que generan salud en los integrantes de la comunidad universitaria, ampliando la gama de acciones promocionales posibles de desarrollar más allá de los estilos de vida saludable, al optimizar la calidad de vida social, relacionándola con lo biológico, cultural y con el buen vivir (4). Para lograrlo, la promoción de la salud y la participación comunitaria deben incorporarse como ejes vertebradores del proceso (5).…”

Resumen: Las Universidades Promotoras de la Salud (UPS) promueven que las personas movilicen sus recursos para participar e influir en las decisiones que les afectan, creando oportunidades de desarrollo para la mejora continua de la salud y el bienestar en el campus. La búsqueda de las condiciones que generan salud es la base de la salutogénesis. Desde el modelo de activos en salud, podría visualizarse la comunidad universitaria como un recurso que potencia la capacidad de sus integrantes para mantenerse sanos. Se propone incorporar de manera más explícita entre los lineamientos de la UPS el desarrollo del sentido de comunidad como elemento clave que actuaría de forma sinérgica individual y colectivamente, facilitando que las personas se sientan parte de la comunidad universitaria, se apropien de esta iniciativa y puedan participar activamente de ella, lo que podría ser un elemento de distinción que contribuiría a revitalizar la estrategia de las UPS.
