Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of the situation and needs analysis is to collect data on the prevalence in relation to physical activity, nutrition, stress, self-management, psychosocial health as well as socio-demographic correlations of students at the ALU Freiburg. These data will be used to check whether the national and international guidelines are met by students. In addition, possible correlations with respect to health will be quantified. 1.Physical activity: The primary outcome is the metabolic equivalent of task (MET). It will be determined using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and will be compared to the WHO guidelines on sufficient physical activity (600 MET minutes per week) to see how many students are physically active or inactive. In addition, the average sitting time in hours per day will be examined. These primary target variables will be analyzed with regard to gender and faculty differences. In this way, target groups with above-average physical inactivity and high sitting times can be identified. 2.Nutrition: The primary outcome is the sum value of all 10 identified food categories summarized by the Healthy Eating Index of the National Nutrition Survey II (HEI-NVS II Index). This shows whether the DGE recommendations for a healthy diet are met (= 100 points). These primary target variables will be analyzed with regard to gender and faculty differences. This is to identify target groups with an above-average unhealthy diet. 3.Stress: The primary outcome is the perceived stress among students, measured by the sum score of the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). It will be examined how many students have a medium to high stress experience (PSS-10 sum > 13). Additionally, the Stress and Coping Inventory (SCI) is used to determine the current stress load and stress symptoms to illustrate how students deal with stress using five coping strategies. These are each assigned to a below-average or above-average level. Subsequently, the s | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a secondary outcome, the utilization and awareness of previous health services will be obtained in this context. In addition, barriers of health services utilization should be identified. Both, the primary and secondary objective will be used to develop, implement and evaluate new prevention and management strategies to improve university student health in a sustainable and holistic manner. The utilization and awareness of previous health services will be operationalized throughout a four-point Likert-scale (1-4), which is divided into (1) previously used, (2) known but not used, (3) not known but would have interest and (4) not known and no interest. Barriers of health services utilization will be measured by a five-point Likert-scale (1-5), which is divided into (1) very important, (2) important, (3) moderately important, (4) somewhat important and (5) unimportant. | — |
