Relatively little is known about students' health and illness. Their effects on academic success have hardly been researched. The aim of the study is to examine associations between health status and study load completed among students.
Of 23,699 students enrolled at the University of Kassel, 3330 participated in the voluntary survey (computer-assisted web interviews) in March 2022. The response rate was 14.1% under conditions of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
In all, 80.5% of students rated their general health status as very good or good. There were significant differences between men and women in terms of general health status (84.4% vs. 78.6%) and the global activity limitation indicator (GALI). Women were more often than men severely limited in usual activities due to health problems (3.2% vs. 2.6%) or limited but not severely (9.6% vs. 5.7%) for at least the past 6 months. Reported prevalence rates of mental illness were striking. They were higher in women than in men (25.3% vs. 15.4%). Furthermore, 15.1% of students reported that their study load completed was "much less" than required by the study regulations of current degree programs. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that students who were limited in activities of daily life because of a health problem had a significantly increased odds ratio of 1.56 (95%-confidence interval [CI] 1.07-2.27) for a much lower study load, and those students who were severely limited had a significantly increased odds ratio of 2.81 (95%-CI 1.64-4.80).
The study identified strong associations between health and study load. It points out the need not only for more health promotion but also for health management for students with disabilities and limitations due to health problems.
人们对学生的健康与疾病了解相对较少。它们对学业成就的影响几乎未被研究过。本研究的目的是调查学生的健康状况与完成的学习负荷之间的关联。
在卡塞尔大学注册的23,699名学生中，有3330名学生于2022年3月参与了这项自愿调查（计算机辅助网络访谈）。在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的情况下，回复率为14.1%。
总体而言，80.5%的学生将他们的总体健康状况评为非常好或良好。在总体健康状况（84.4%对78.6%）和全球活动受限指标（GALI）方面，男性和女性存在显著差异。在过去至少6个月里，女性因健康问题在日常活动中受到严重限制的情况比男性更常见（3.2%对2.6%），或者受到有限但不严重限制的情况也比男性更常见（9.6%对5.7%）。报告的精神疾病患病率令人震惊。女性的患病率高于男性（25.3%对15.4%）。此外，15.1%的学生报告称，他们完成的学习负荷“远低于”当前学位课程学习规定的要求。多因素逻辑回归分析显示，因健康问题在日常生活活动中受限的学生，学习负荷远低于要求的比值比显著增加1.56（95%置信区间[CI]1.07 - 2.27），而那些受到严重限制的学生，比值比显著增加2.81（95%CI 1.64 - 4.80）。
该研究确定了健康与学习负荷之间的紧密关联。它指出不仅需要加强健康促进，还需要对因健康问题而有残疾和受限的学生进行健康管理。
