Brief summary
The lack of well-being observed among health students underscores the urgent need of implementing interventions designed to meet their specific need and improving their quality of life. This study aims to evaluate a well-being promotion intervention among paramedic students. This is a before/after study using a quasi-experimental design. This study aims to compare well-being, resilience, and self-esteem before and after the intervention. Students' satisfaction will be assessed through a questionnaire.
Detailed description
Health students' well-being is a big issue today. We need to increase the number of interventions designed to improve quality of life and well-being among this population of students. The investigators aim to evaluate a well-being promotion intervention among paramedic students through a before/after study using a quasi-experimental design by comparing the scores of validated scales of well-being, resilience, and self-esteem of participating students before and after the intervention. A satisfaction questionnaire will allow to assess the content and the organization of this intervention. The first edition will be implemented in September 2022 in Le Havre. The questionnaires will be distributed before and eight months after the intervention. The investigators will describe the study population, then they will compare the average scores. The results of satisfaction questionnaire will allow to improve the intervention to best meet the needs of students. The main benefit expected from this study is the improvement of paramedic students' well-being by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
