“…Along with reliable information, fake information also circulates over the internet which hampers the trust of the individuals in the information ( 4 ). We acquire information 24/7 through social media platforms, television, and advertisements, therefore the issues of confirmation bias arise influencing the trust of the individual in information ( 33 ).…”

“…Administrators of college students' education play a significant role in improving school management. The administrators are responsible for strengthening the mental health of students by changing managing ideas, improving student education management, innovating management techniques and methods, and promoting the development and progress of education management for college students ( 4 ). This can be done by providing physical education to students because this education is not only related to fitness and sport but also contributed toward the healthcare of students.…”

Present study has aimed to understand the intervention and prevention of the mental health crisis of college students. For this purpose, this study has checked the effect of trust in wellbeing information on preventive behavior and mental wellbeing. The target population taken for this study is the students of colleges situated in Mainland in China. The data was collected from the 458 students of the college. Smart PLS has been employed on the data to get the results using partial least square structural equation modeling. For this purpose, the data were analyzed in two stages, i.e., measurement model stage and the structural model stage. Results of this study have revealed that trust in wellbeing information plays a significant and positive role in setting preventive behavior and the mental wellbeing of students. Further, it has also been revealed that preventive behavior also plays a significant and positive role in mental wellbeing. Additionally, preventive behavior has been found as an important mediating variable among the relationship of trust in wellbeing information and mental wellbeing. Moreover, family support is crucial by positively moderating the relationship between preventive behavior and mental wellbeing. Many practical implications have been found among which the foremost is that the education institutes must undertake those efforts that aim to ensure the fairness in the information spread regarding the mental wellbeing during seminars, workshops and administration should play a positive role responsible for strengthening the mental health of students by managing ideas, improving student education management, innovating management techniques and methods.

“…Yet, the reality is that being a university student is often marked by loneliness, lack of meaning, and low or negative moods [1][2][3]. For students in international forms of education, there is often a disconnect between student's prior education systems and that which is being offered, such that independent critical thinking, student-led motivation, academic writing, defending one's ideas, and group-based learning conflicts with memorization and rote learning [32][33][34].…”

“…University is a time of transition; greater independence and less oversight mark the social, learning, and emotional worlds of young adults. With freedom to make life choices, have fun, and choose one's friends, there is also more isolation and stress, financial worry, and learning struggles [1][2][3]. Early adulthood's slope is slippery; many young people thrive, but some flounder, and others even suffer.…”

Thanks for Asking! How UAE-Based University Students Conceptualize Happiness and How Institutions Can Improve It

Happiness and Wellness - Biopsychosocial and Anthropological Perspectives

How happiness is defined depends on who is asked. In the case of universities, student happiness should prevail, yet their voices are often overlooked. This is also the case in the research literature where non-Western views are less frequently reflected. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), a country whose population is comprised of nearly 90% expatriate residents, is a good study case as campuses are filled with international students and the wellbeing of residents is a national priority. Responses from 80 UAE-based expatriate students reveal they are happiest with friends and in social activities and interactions; they want more opportunities to connect socially in classrooms and campuses, efforts which can be crafted by faculty. They also want joyful, inspiring learning where they can discuss and be exposed to other views, with many driven by the need to feel productive, efficacious and engaged. Solutions included the need for faculty to develop warmer student relationships, the maintenance of online learning to reflect realities of work and relationships, and for students to be treated with more respect as fee-paying adults. As the number of international students rise, research into their happiness and what universities can do to increase it remains a global priority.

Towards comprehensive mental health promotion in Australian universities: A call to action with priorities for institutional change

While comprehensive mental health promotion inherently involves individuals, there is an ongoing need to address large‐scale determinants of people's mental health and wellbeing—particularly policies and environments. To have the best possible chance of creating positive change, mental health promotion must also work throughout key mediating structures such as places of education and work. This includes universities. Yet, in their efforts to address student and staff mental health and wellbeing, Australian universities have demonstrated limited uptake of comprehensive mental health promotion approaches. In this commentary, I discuss a recent review of Australia's higher education system—the Australian Universities Accord—as a catalyst for strengthening institutional action and change through a comprehensive mental health promotion lens. I discuss key findings—and silences—made clear throughout the review process. I then advocate several urgent priorities for university‐level change—across institutional assessment, institutional accountability and performance, and institutional leadership and power—if Australia's universities are genuinely committed to improving mental health and wellbeing among students and staff.
