“…Conversely, an individual can simultaneously experience symptoms of psychopathology and maintain positive functioning and psychological flourishing. This “two-continua model” has been validated in multiple populations (Keyes, 2006; Keyes, Eisenberg, Dhingra, Perry, & Dube, 2012; Keyes et al, 2008) and using different measurements and conceptualizations of mental health and illness (Compton, Smith, Cornish, & Qualls, 1996; Greenspoon & Saklofske, 2001; Headey, Kelley, & Wearing, 1993; Suldo & Shaffer, 2008; Westerhof & Keyes, 2010). An important implication is that an individual is only completely healthy when he or she experiences both low levels of psychopathological symptoms and a good state of well-being.…”

Purpose: Music has been linked with well-being across clinical and community settings. Yet, research has focused on assessment of single dimensions of well-being and on the typical receiver of support services. Acknowledging the burden that a caring role encompasses and integrating recent proposals for a multifaceted definition of well-being, we explore the extent to which group drumming interventions translate into multidimensional well-being change for both mental health service users and carers. Method: Thirty-nine participants engaged in one of a series of community drumming programmes were assessed via semi-structured interviews (n = 11) and focus groups (n = 28) at the end of each programme. Data were analysed using IPA. Results and Conclusion: Emotional, psychological and social dimensions of well-being emerged for both patients and carers, accounted for through six themes: (1) hedonia: positive affect and pleasant physical effects of drumming; (2) agency: initiative and sense of control; (3) accomplishment: non-specific and in relation to musical goals; (4) engagement, through focus and flow; (5) a redefinition of self, through self-awareness, construction of a positive identity, self-prospection and incorporation of a musical identity; and (6) social well-being, through connectedness and positive relationships. The potential of such interventions for clinical contexts is discussed.

“…Moreover, certain personality traits such as perfectionism and shyness may be correlated with psychopathologies observed within the student population. 1,2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Although proper sleep hygiene has proved to be important for mental health, complaints of sleep problems are extremely common among university students. Research has linked these issues to depression and anxiety in young adults.…”

“…Students suffering from low-quality sleep also reported more frequent use of drugs and alcohol. 13,16 While the high prevalence of mental health problems among university students highlights a clear need for accessible treatment options, the majority of students with moderately severe to severe depression do not receive any psychiatric therapy. Downs and Eisenberg reported that low treatment rates are correlated with help-seeking behaviors among students, and only slightly over half of students with suicidal ideation receive therapy.…”

Background: The existing literature shows dance to be an innovative and successful form of stress management. Previous research indicates that Biodanza is able to increase well-being and personal resources and prevent stress. However, Biodanza has not yet been empirically tested as a possible therapy for application outside the clinical context in young adults with perceived stress.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Biodanza in reducing symptoms of perceived stress and depression and in promoting sleep quality in young adults, comparing the changes with those observed in a control group.Design: Randomized controlled trial. Settings/Location: This study was carried out at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Almería. Subjects: One hundred and twenty-one university students with perceived stress were randomly placed into either a Biodanza group or a wait-list control group.Intervention: Study participants attended Biodanza sessions for 90 min a week, over a period of 4 weeks. Outcome measures: Depression, perceived stress, and sleep quality were assessed both before and after intervention.Results: Ninety-five participants completed the program and were included in the statistical analysis. Significant differences in perceived stress [t (93) = 2.136; p = 0.015] and depression [t (93) = 2.738; p = 0.000] were observed after the Biodanza period. Pre/post analysis found that Biodanza also had a significant effect on depression (Cohen d = 1.88; p < 0.05) and perceived stress (Cohen d = 0.79; p < 0.05).Conclusion: The Biodanza program is an effective stress management strategy for students. The results of this study showed Biodanza to have a positive effect on perceived stress and depression in young adults. This demonstrates how artistic, collaborative, and psychophysical interventions are an effective means of preventing and managing these problems in university students.

“…If something unusual occurs, they should talk with the director and together they will find a solution. Recently, mental health issues have become more prevalent in higher education (Keyes, Eisenberg, Perry, Dube, Kroenke, & Dhingra, 2012) that impact students and may underline a behavior issue. It important to reassure instructors that student and instructor safety are paramount.…”

There is a growing trend to rely on part-time instructors including both adjunct faculty and graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in higher education (Eney & Davidson, 2012). Most kinesiology departments depend on part-time instructors to teach instructional physical activity programs (IPAPs) to the general student population; this is historically referred to as basic instruction. These part-time instructors are content experts, but come from many different backgrounds. The purpose of this article is to highlight important topics for program coordinators, directors and faculty supervisors to consider including when training part-time instructors of instructional physical activity programs using a best practice approach. Three main area of concern will be addressed; adjusting to graduate school, classroom issues and teaching administrative duties. The use of effective strategies, such as orientation, mentoring, and teacher development for part-time instructors, will help ensure quality teaching and learning in physical activity programs.
