“…Given the wide scope and open design of the intervention, the UVC may function more effectively for students as a gateway, portal, or decision making tool to help them navigate to the most appropriate help, which could be tested in future trials involving different primary outcome measures. Finally, stepped care models have been proposed as a possible solution to the problem of high demand for face-to-face counselling services on university campuses (Cornish et al, 2017). Online programs have shown promise as low-intensity components in stepped care, and the utility of the UVC could be tested as part of a stepped care model, particularly in the Australian university context.…”

BackgroundOf the millions of students enrolled in university, up to 50% will experience a mental disorder. Many of these students do not seek help, and for those who do, university-based services are often over-burdened. Anonymous, evidence-based, online interventions can improve students’ access to mental health support. The Uni Virtual Clinic (UVC) is a transdiagnostic online mental health program designed specifically for university students. This paper reports on a randomised controlled trial examining the effectiveness of the UVC in a sample of Australian university students.MethodsUniversity students with elevated psychological distress (K10>15; n = 200) were randomised to the UVC intervention or a waitlist control condition for a period of 6 weeks. Baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up surveys assessed depression, anxiety, self-efficacy, quality of life, adherence, and satisfaction with the UVC intervention.ResultsMixed models analysis demonstrated that use of the UVC was associated with small significant reductions in social anxiety and small improvements in academic self-efficacy. The program was not effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or psychological distress compared to a control group. The majority of participants in the intervention condition who were retained at follow-up engaged with the program, and most of these participants reported satisfaction with the UVC.DiscussionThe results suggest that multi-component online interventions such as the UVC have utility in a university environment. Future trials of the UVC should examine the impact of guidance and/or tailoring on treatment efficacy, and the potential role of the UVC in a stepped care model incorporating on-campus services.

“…Originally created in the United Kingdom for use in primary health care settings (Cornish et al, ), the SCM is now commonly used by general practitioners in many parts of the world (Bower & Gilbody, ). Mental health and addictions treatment providers began adopting the approach in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a way to standardize procedures in order to improve efficiency, lower costs, and eliminate personal inconvenience for the client and counselor (Bower & Gilbody, ).…”

Students with learning disabilities face several challenges in postsecondary education settings. The authors explore the issue and shed light on the importance of self-advocacy for academic success. The stepped care model (SCM) is suggested as an approach to assist college students with learning disabilities in developing these skills and obtaining services. A brief case example from 1 of the authors' work is shared to illustrate the use of the SCM with a student with a learning disability.

“…The cultivation of positive psychological qualities in college students is one of the most important factors of ideological and political education in colleges and universities. Accordingly, the improvement of positive psychological qualities of college students is a very important premise whether it promotes the level of mental health of college students or cultivates the sound personality of innovative talents ( Bravo et al, 2017 ; Cornish et al, 2017 ; Mortier et al, 2017 ). At the end of the 20th century, Martin Seligman, an American psychologist, put forward the theory of positive psychology to study psychology from a positive perspective, taking the discovery of individual advantages and virtues as an important measure to stimulate people’s enthusiasm and improve their happiness.…”

This study was conducted with the purpose of exploring the impact of positive entrepreneurial psychological quality in innovation and entrepreneurship education, as well as the development of maker education in colleges and universities. The questionnaire survey method-The Positive Mental Characters Scale for Chinese College Students-and the SPSS 26.0 mathematical statistical analysis software were adopted to analyze and characterize the development of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities, as well as the practice of maker education. The results show that there are differences in the factors that affect the positive entrepreneurial psychological quality of college students studying different majors in the liberal arts and sciences. Family economy has the most obvious impact on liberal arts students, sports activities have the most obvious impact on science students, has and grades have the most obvious impact on engineering students; the average score of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship ability is around 3.0, showing that the overall innovation and creativity ability is general. Furthermore, there are differences in the development of the maker education model between the eastern and western universities. Overall, the maker faculty of eastern universities are more complete, with a larger number of professors, associate seniors, and intermediate teachers. In addition, the investigation on the positive entrepreneurial psychological quality shows a positive effect on cultivating students' healthy entrepreneurial quality as well as promoting the development and practice of maker education.
