This study provides an understanding of the strategic priority of health and well-being for students, employees, and the community at the 109 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) has been understudied.
Secondary data analysis of 89 publicly posted HBCUs' strategic plans was used to identify institutional priorities regarding the health and well-being of students, employees, and the community.
The data revealed 36% of HBCUs prioritized student health, 17% prioritized employee health, and 14%prioritized community health. An examination of the relationships between the existence of a strategic priority and the provision of health and wellness services demonstrated that having a strategic priority for students' health and well-being was statistically significant for providing health services (80%), student counseling (87%), and recreational activities (75%), (α = .05, = .001).
Overall, health and well-being at HBCUs are underrepresented strategic priorities and are likely to impact the health and well-being services offered to support students enrolled at HBCUs.
本研究旨在了解在109所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学(HBCUs)中,学生、员工和社区的健康与福祉的战略优先事项,这方面的研究一直不足。
对89所公开公布的HBCUs战略计划进行二次数据分析,以确定有关学生、员工和社区健康与福祉的机构优先事项。
数据显示,36%的HBCUs将学生健康列为优先事项,17%将员工健康列为优先事项,14%将社区健康列为优先事项。对战略优先事项的存在与健康和保健服务提供之间的关系进行的检查表明,将学生的健康和福祉作为战略优先事项对于提供健康服务(80%)、学生咨询(87%)和娱乐活动(75%)具有统计学意义(α = 0.05, = 0.001)。
总体而言,HBCUs的健康与福祉在战略优先事项中所占比例不足,可能会影响为就读于HBCUs的学生提供的健康与福祉服务。
