The university student health surveillance system can play a key role in the health promotion of the educated class of the society. This can be done through collecting information related to health and using it for screening and prevention of disease. Hence, this article will be based on the necessity of existence of such system.
We used interview and focus group discussion in this qualitative study. The participants were the health system authors, experts, student service administrators, and also students. Content analysis was done after data saturation by the research team.
Based on thematic analysis, 249 codes were obtained, and about 20 themes or main expressions were extracted by separating purported sentences and combining them, and omitting overlaps. These themes were summarized into 13 subcategories and finally 4 main categories. The four categories included necessity of surveillance, stewardship, components of health surveillance system, and administrative consideration.
From the participants' point of view, it seems necessary to have a health surveillance system for students; this system must be in accordance with the health system of the country. The Ministry of Health is the best option for stewardship of the system; however, it needs universities' support. Need assessment, performing a pilot study, and considering a program for quality control can guarantee for success in this program.
大学生健康监测系统在促进社会受教育阶层的健康方面可发挥关键作用。这可以通过收集与健康相关的信息并将其用于疾病筛查和预防来实现。因此，本文将基于此类系统存在的必要性展开。
在这项定性研究中，我们采用了访谈和焦点小组讨论的方法。参与者包括卫生系统作者、专家、学生服务管理人员以及学生。研究团队在数据饱和后进行了内容分析。
基于主题分析，共获得249个编码，通过分离相关句子、合并并去除重叠部分，提取出约20个主题或主要表述。这些主题被归纳为13个子类别，最终形成4个主要类别。这四个类别包括监测的必要性、管理、健康监测系统的组成部分以及行政考量。
从参与者的角度来看，似乎有必要为学生建立一个健康监测系统；该系统必须与国家的卫生系统相一致。卫生部是该系统管理的最佳选择；然而，它需要大学的支持。需求评估、开展试点研究以及考虑质量控制计划能够确保该项目取得成功。
