University education marks a new stage in life, which is associated with unknown demands and challenges and can have a negative impact on students' health. Therefore, health promotion in the university setting is becoming increasingly important. In this context, scientific data on the health situation play a crucial role in improving students' health. Thus, the aim of the scoping review was to highlight the current scope of research on the health of health professional students. It also explored problems and outlined key future challenges and solutions. The review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for a scoping review. A total of nine databases (PubMed, CINAHL, CareLit, LIVIVO, Scopus, Psyndex, PEDro, OTseeker, Google Scholar) were systematically searched. The following search criteria were defined: health professional students, health, Germany, German-speaking countries, all types of sources from 2012 to present are selected. The research studies were mapped in a table and health evidence of included studies was summarized narratively. The initial search resulted in 23,938 records. Seven records met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Six cross-sectional studies were conducted in Germany, and one cross-sectional study was conducted in Switzerland. In fact, one study included a representative population. Qualitative studies were not found. The most studies investigated health status, health behavior, and personal resources. Most of the studies examined female nursing students. The included studies indicated that the young students reported physical or mental health conditions. In addition, the studies also identified health resources of the students that need to be improved. In summary, there is currently limited health evidence on this group of students in German-speaking countries. Therefore, further research is needed to generate knowledge and comprehensively describe the health situation.
大学教育标志着人生的一个新阶段，这个阶段充满了未知的需求和挑战，可能会对学生的健康产生负面影响。因此，在大学环境中促进健康变得越来越重要。在这种情况下，关于健康状况的科学数据在改善学生健康方面起着至关重要的作用。因此，本次范围综述的目的是强调目前关于卫生专业学生健康状况的研究范围。它还探讨了问题，并概述了未来的关键挑战和解决方案。本综述使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）的方法进行了范围综述。总共系统地搜索了九个数据库（PubMed、CINAHL、CareLit、LIVIVO、Scopus、Psyndex、PEDro、OTseeker、Google Scholar）。定义了以下搜索标准：卫生专业学生、健康、德国、德语国家，从 2012 年至今，所有类型的来源都被选中。研究以表格形式进行映射，并以叙述性方式总结纳入研究的健康证据。最初的搜索产生了 23938 条记录。有 7 条记录符合纳入标准，并被纳入综述。有 6 项横断面研究在德国进行，1 项横断面研究在瑞士进行。实际上，有一项研究包括了代表性人群。未发现定性研究。大多数研究调查了健康状况、健康行为和个人资源。大多数研究都检查了女性护理学生。纳入的研究表明，年轻的学生报告了身体或心理健康状况。此外，这些研究还确定了需要改善的学生健康资源。总之，目前关于德语国家这一学生群体的健康证据有限。因此，需要进一步研究来生成知识并全面描述健康状况。
