Theoretical Framework

Theoretical Framework

The mental health program for college students focuses on promoting social-emotional learning and endurance, and also preventing collective, psychological, and behavioral challenges, such as risk behaviors. As a result, the theoretical framework depicts college mental health as a single major topic, depending on available information on psychological health promotion and management. Social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties are avoided.

The framework is further described in the following sections of the study by addressing the primary domains in connection to psychological health consequences and the various developmental mechanisms. I also include a set of critical goal abilities and behaviors for both students and teachers, as well as a summary of the primary theoretical components addressed.

Interpersonal, emotional, and behavioral challenges refer to a wide range of behaviors that college students can acquire to varying levels, which can be internalizing or externalizing. Depression, criminality, social disengagement, self-harm, anxiety,  drug usage, rule-breaking, and violent behavior are commonly targeted in school programs to reduce emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties.

The Theory of Planned Behavior can be used to forecast a person’s willingness to participate in a given behavior at a particular moment and location. The hypothesis was designed to describe all behaviors over which humans can exercise self restraints (Ajzen & Schmidt, 2020). Behavioral intention is a significant element of this paradigm; motives are impacted by one’s view about the probability that the conduct will produce the anticipated result, as well as one’s subjective assessment of the dangers and advantages of that result.

The Theory of Planned Behavior has been effectively utilized to forecast and describe a variety of mental health-related behaviors and motives amongst students, such as smoking, alcoholism, health-care utilization (Lipson et al., 2019), and substance abuse, among many other things. According to the Theory of Planned Behavior, behavioral success is determined by both motive and potential. The ability to undertake the behavior successfully is contingent not just on a positive purpose, but also on a suitable level of behavioral control.

The Theory of Planned Behavior proposes that measuring one’s mindset regarding the conduct, subjective standards connected with the behavior, and apparent influence over completing it might anticipate one’s motives to execute it (McKenzie et al., 2009)The TPB emphasizes the need of using a multifaceted strategy to understand what influences a person’s purpose to undertake a behavior. If a participant’s desire to pursue psychological assistance is swayed primarily by subjective values that are hostile to PHS, a study’s effort to persuade this individual’s motive to obtain psychological assistance might be disappointed if behavior modification is the only target of treatment.

Interventions can be used on a broad level, involving every student, or at a more focused rate, with students who are at risk of establishing or have already manifested, modest mental health issues. Preventive measures that are available to everyone are thought to be less alienating. Moreover, both general and focused preventative programs exhibit equal impact values, demonstrating that both general and specialized preventive interventions are needed. Systematic studies of general interventions in college students, specifically, found that internalizing psychological health disorders like anxiety, stress, and depression indicators were significantly reduced (Lattie et al., 2019). Research on the efficacy of preventative strategies for externalizing disorders has a lot in common. Considerable reductions in specified behavioral difficulties were found, with impacts extending for one year.

The students who took participated in a short cognitive education session experienced significant reductions in anxiety and tension. In a group of students who performed yoga, levels of stress levels are less, and general mental well-being is higher, as contrasted to a regulated group.

The goals of this study were to look at the psychological health of college students to contribute to a better comprehension of the term and to give a thorough theoretical framework for psychological health management at colleges that consider students’ needs into account.

Health Intervention Model

Mental health is one of the imperative modifiers of concentration and performance among college students. Hence, the use of a health intervention model will be essential in my study as it will provide a blueprint to understand and address the issue of mental health among students. It will also guide the formulation and implementation of selected interventions (Hagger et al., 2020). Therefore, this study will utilize the Health Belief Model. The model will be customized and tailored to be in congruence with the study population and the health behavior in context.

The Health Belief Model will be used in my study as it provides a modality to promote health and mitigate disease-causing behaviors among populations. In addition, this theoretical model will be most appropriate in defining the key factors influential to behaviors affecting mental health in this study population (Hagger et al., 2020). The model will assist in delineating the key factors that affect mental health; such the individual perceived susceptibility to suffering from a mental health issue, perceived severity, perceived barriers to initiating action, exposure to support systems that promote health, and self-confidence in the ability to deal with a mental health issue and not relapse.

In conclusion, the health belief model will be used to design short-term and long-term interventions to promote mental health. This will entail assessing the students at risk, understanding the different risky behaviors associated with mental health, and providing channels to communicate with the students on the mechanisms to promote mental health (Zaidlin et al., 2020). This model can also be used in combination with other models. In so doing, the researcher will ensure the depth and breadth of the study gets achieved.

Personal Health Reflection

The overall health and lifestyle for myself is a very touchy and all over the place story. Lets’ start from the present lifestyle and health I have now. At this moment in life, I find myself becoming overall healthy again. My lifestyle is changing because I am seeing so many of my associates and family members die from this Southern Lifestyle we were raised on. I tend to find myself in a new form of looking at life and the way that I live life. I am a mother to a growing young man that I want to know that you can be healthy outside of the general scale of the world. I find myself participating in more adult sports and getting more involved in the community as a leader and role model. Mountains have become my favorite “sport” so to speak. Just going up there with my son and friends to hike them and see the world. I see myself eating more healthier as in less fried foods and more grilled and greens. My overall health on the medical charts so that I healthy but not at a healthy weight for my age and height. The weight that is standard for someone of my age and height is what I weighed my freshman year in high school when I was an all-out athlete with no kids and life issues to deal with. I don’t see me ever being that small again no matter how much I work out and eat healthy. That is not in my genetics to stay that small all of my life. I come from a big-boned family and many of them are at the healthiest they have ever been in their lives.

Childhood

During my childhood I was a multi-athlete from the time I was three and a half years old all the way up until my senior year of high school. I was always the biggest or tallest female of the bunch, so of course I was picked on and things yet respected because I played sports. I was considered healthy and in the right weight during those times. I have always been academically smart, but I was also a top athlete in every sport that I played. To me when I was a child it was the unhealthiest time of my life. I never really had time for a proper meal, it would also be the time that I would eat one large plate and survive off it for the next day to come. My overall health then was not too good either. I stayed in the hospital sick because I was sleep deprived, my muscle was straining because I wasn’t eating the correct things, it was always fast food or no food at all. Snacking was my go-to meal throughout the day most times, especially when I was playing two or more sports at a time. I dealt with asthma, athletic asthma, bronchitis, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and so much more. To compare my health now to back when I was growing up, I would say I have come a long way. My grandfather passes of cancer, my great grandma passed in her sleep (non-health related and was the healthiest and shortest in the family), my uncle passed of liver cirrhosis, my great-grandfather passed away of unknown health conditions, my mother had high blood pressure and diabetes, and the list goes on. Of course, as Black Americans living in the south, we are prone to more of these diseases that others, but I can say that out of my 27 years of living the most severe thing I have been diagnosed with is bronchitis, anemia, and low blood pressure, also being diagnosed as overweight borderline obese because of my weight not comparing to what the standards for my age and height should be. Overall, my health is immaculate, I eat healthy, snack health, exercise daily and I meditate. Now my mental health is where the challenge comes in and that hasn’t changed a lot since I was younger, but that is a topic and discussion of another time.

The Affects

My personal lifestyle has a huge impact on my health because the lifestyle that I created will either keep me alive and well or kill me off earlier than planned. When I changed the way things were did in my life a few years ago it really happened because of a mental change that switched in me, but now I am living my life because I know that I have an unfinished purpose on this place we call earth. My lifestyle consists of healthy eating, trying to exercise at least twice a day when I have some free time, learning to take mental breaks so I do not overwhelm myself, and try to be as active as I can with my son. I am also teaching him the importance of eating healthy and exercising instead of being on the compute or the game for hours. He will eat healthy with me, but he will not exercise with me unless it has to do with the season of sports he is in. With him playing sports I like to teach him time management because a healthy life comes not just from eating properly and exercising, but it also comes from the type of mental lifestyle you have as well. I have been there where he is and I didn’t have anyone who took the time to understand that things can be overwhelming for children as well, so I make sure that I am in a good space so that he can been in a good space as well. For example, when we plan dinner, we plan out everything from what we are going to be doing before dinner all the way until its time to go to bed. We try to include exercise, a nice “lay it out” talk to discuss our day and any problems, and we even plan what shows we will watch during this time or if we are going to jump or the trampoline or something during this time. We take our dog for a neighborhood walk twice out the week and we try to walk from the bus stop at least twice out the week as well. My personal lifestyle change is the reason I am still here to this day and even though I am still working on things have made my health better. My bronchitis rarely flares up, my mental health is getting better, my exercise routines are getting better, my eating habits improve daily and so much more.

Mental Health in College Students

Health status

Mental health issues encompass factors that affect cognitive, emotional, and behavioral well-being. Any deviation of mental health status from normal may lead to any of the following mental disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, back pain, and headaches. Mental health problems have statistically proven to be highly prevalent among college students. For example, in a survey involving Australian students, higher levels of psychological distress were noted. In another state-wise survey by the American Psychological Association (APA), 95% of college counseling centers directors reported alarming and growing concerns over growing numbers of mental health issues among college students (Auerbach et al., 2016). Anxiety is the topping concern with a prevalence rate of 41.6%, followed by depression at 36. 5%, other mental distresses concerns relationships and accounts for 35.8%. These prevalence’s can be attributed to a busy college schedule, financial issues, and lack of balance between having fun and studying.

College lends itself a host to many new things: independence, freedom, opportunity, and autonomy. The transition from high school to college also takes a hefty toll on contributing to deleterious health consequences to college students (Bruffaerts et al., 2018). For instance, lack of engagement can be a sign of depression, excessive worrying, increased dependence on a substance such as excessive drinking to numb emotions, or a changing relationship with food. In such cases, one no longer pays attention to eating patterns and tends to avoid socializing when there is food or exercise excessively. According to Lee et al. (2022). mental health problems can affect students’ concentration, energy, mental ability, dependability, optimism and hinder performance. Depression, for example, is associated with low-grade point averages, truancy, and dropouts. In the end, roommates, peers, staff, family members may end up suffering consequences of poor relationships, poor work productivity, and profound grief from suicides.

Community description

The program’s scope is on college students across the state and beyond. Global estimates of mental health problems suggest that one in four people globally have experienced or will experience mental health issues in their lifetime (Pedrelli et al., 2015). It is the third leading cause of mortalities among young people. Therefore, the program aims to assess the health needs of all reachable college students locally, state-wise, and even nationally.

Needs Assessment

Based on qualitative needs assessments done through focus groups, projects, scenarios, case study reports, introspection, visual texts, role-play simulation, and direct observations, major health needs of the students were identified. The majorly identified health needs include helping erase suicidal feelings and thoughts, eating disorders, overactivity and poor concentration, obsessive-compulsive disorder, low mood, and depression.

Naturally, a human’s body and mind are not separate; it is therefore not surprising that mental health problems impact the body. For example, depression can cause fatigue, headaches, and digestive problems. The overall effects on the quality of life range from a feeling of distress, lack of control, choice, and autonomy, low confidence, diminished activity, and feeling of hopelessness and demoralization (Sazakli et al.,2021).

Major identified causes of mental health problems among college students include pressure to succeed in academics, uncertainty, financial distress, and increased social media use.

Non-specific combat strategies needed in the schools includes

a) Promotion of healthy eating habits

b) Encouraging physical activity

c) Promotion of healthy sleeping habits

d) Social Media use sensitization campaigns to minimize excessive social media use, inactivity, and visiting unauthorized sites.

Quantitative assessments focus on numbers or quantities and gather the information that yields results that can be quantified. A report by Karyotak et al. (2020) showed that one-third of students screened positive for at least a single in six mental health illnesses. With a prevalence of 27% exhibited over 12 months, the study demonstrated a possible lifetime prevalence of 28.7%. This calls for an array of measures, including the following.

a) Once a month mental health seminar in college institutions in California.

b) Employment of an adequate number of psychiatric mental health practitioners across institutions to balance student: psychiatrist ratio.

c) Install at least two support group meetings for students to guide each other towards shared goal recovery.

d) Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) – CAM includes treatment practices typically not associated with standard care.

e) Self-help plans- self-help plans are severely lacking among college studies in the United States. They may, however, have a hand in helping students implement strategies to promote wellness recovery and identify warning signs.

Community link

The United States government currently offers various programs and services to support people with mental health needs, including students. They include income support, disability services, community support, workforce participation programs, and housing.

In hospitals, the current most common way of treating mental health illnesses and challenges includes psychotherapy, also called talk therapy and counseling (Auerbach et al., 2016).

The proposed program will come in a batch of complementary programs to support existing programs in boosting mental health issues among college students. Salient things the program will include:

1) Enhancing counseling and psychotherapy through maximum stakeholder engagement and online campaigns

2) Technology use in mental health programming-technology is likely to address problems of minimal healthcare-seeking behavior among college students. Through technology-based diagnosis, and well-coordinated psychotherapeutic and pharmacotherapeutics approaches, confidentiality will be enhanced, fewer financial expenses will be incurred, and accessibility will be enhanced since services will happen through simple web-search.

3) Community support and awareness campaigns will also help promote awareness, reduce discrimination and stigma, supporting social inclusion and recovery while preventing mental disorders.

The goal of this research is to find and analyze data on digital peer support treatments for those living with chronic psychiatric disorders. Peer support is widely regarded as a critical component of mental wellness restoration. Peer support is progressively utilizing technology to give peer support as the advent of digital mental health services changes the manner psychological wellness treatment is offered. In the context of such technological advancements, it is necessary to analyze and consolidate emerging information for peer-supported digital health therapies for individuals with psychological illnesses.

Even though mental diseases are the major source of disabilities in the Arab world, accounting for 5.54 percent of the world’s demographic, Arab nations contribute just 10% of the world’s peer-reviewed psychological wellness studies. Several stakeholders gathered, comprising Arab psychological healthcare researchers, organizational, and partners, to highlight difficulties encountered by Arab psychological wellness researchers and suggest an evidence-based sense of urgency. Pervasive prejudice and limited information, violence, and catastrophe, limited organizational and financial resources, inadequate communication possibilities, minimal expertise in mental wellness studies, and partners, to highlight difficulties encountered by Arab psychological wellness researchers and suggest an evidence-based sense of urgency. Pervasive prejudice and limited information, violence, and catastrophe, limited organizational and financial resources, inadequate communication possibilities, minimal expertise in mental wellness studies, and a lack of trustworthy and accurate evaluation instruments are among the issues cited. The suggested response strategy comprises measures to combat stigma and increase awareness, as well as approaches to increase collaboration, create study facilities, improve the mental wellbeing of professionals, and translate study results to community and state activity. The suggested financing agency executives and multinational scientific strategy approach may serve as a road map for Arab psychological wellbeing academics and scientific centers, helping to boost study efficiency and narrow the difference between Arab nations and the rest of the globe.

McCrory, A., Best, P., & Maddock, A. (2020). The relationship between highly visual social media and young people’s mental health: A scoping review. Children and Youth Services Review, 115, 105053.

Users of visually rich social networks like Snapchat and Instagram communicate with one another via photons instead of words. Teenagers make up a sizable share of those who utilize such sites. Prior studies have found conflicting data about the influence of online digital networking on the psychological health of this age bracket, and it’s unclear if the mental impacts of visualizations solely vary from those of text-based social media. The review study organizes the available information on visually striking social networks, with a focus on their mental effects on youthful individuals. The findings show that there is a scarcity of evidence that specifically investigates. To attain its goals, most of the material uses quantitative methodologies. Most of the outcomes are inconclusive, and qualitative information would be more useful in elucidating the causes behind these contradictory results.

The above scoping overview examines what kinds of psychological well-being issues are addressed in the research, what is their pervasiveness between many psychiatrists, what induces psychological wellbeing issues in psychiatrists, what impacts psychological health issues have on clinicians and their clients, what initiatives may be used to resolve them, and what are the obstacles to pursuing and receiving treatment for mental wellness worries in doctors. The goal of this study is to better comprehend physicians’ psychological state, uncover study limitations, and provide evidence-based treatments.

The research emphasized solutions, yet it said nothing regarding obstacles to getting assistance and the impact of physicians’ psychological health problems on patients’ service. Additional study is required to investigate a wider range of mental healthcare issues in doctors, as well as the obstacles to requesting help. It’s equally worth looking at the impact of low physician psychological wellbeing on clients. Lastly, there are no transversal or prospective investigations, as well as assessments of therapies proposed to enhance physicians’ psychological health, in the examined research.

Researchers analyze ways either the diagnostics or medication of bladder cancer could influence psychological wellness throughout multiple disease phases under this cover, which summarizes the evidence on the predictive effects of mental disorders on bladder cancer individuals. Stress and panic are common mental health concerns that coincide with the treatment of bladder cancer, which has a bad prognosis and a higher psychological load. Individuals with bladder cancer are most likely to commit euthanasia, particularly if they are elderly, single men with chronic illness. Mental illnesses, like impaired physical wellness, can affect healthcare results like post-surgical morbidity risks and survivability percentages. Whereas the relevance of psychological wellness in bladder cancer people is becoming more well recognized, more research is required to determine the function of therapies like intellectual behavioral psychotherapy or medication in maximizing medication outcomes.

This research focuses on the numbers and statistics of obesity lately that have grown significantly. The information seems to be looking for best treatment in such a situation which is not an easy task such as, adults who have been given weight loss medicine to see if it works, yet children and adolescents do not participate in these test trials. So, this means that children and adolescents cannot be treated with medication like this. This study shows the overall difficulty of the obesity situation which helps explain the current situations.

In this study the outcomes for obesity in pregnant women came along after they conducted broad research from 2009 to 2011 from more than 46,000 deliveries in Canada and France. This showed a connection between obesity, hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, macrosomia, and cesarean delivery. It helped highlight the dangers for an overweight group of women which added value to the declarations in their research paper.

Boutelle, K.N., Kirschenbarim, D.S. (1998). Further Support for Consistent Self-Monitoring as A Vital Component of Successful Weight Control. Obesity Research. 6(3): 219-224.

People that attempt to lose weight with self-monitored methods usually participate in an exercise routine and try to reduce their calories when they consume food. But some other behaviors that people commonly involve in their lifestyle changes are different meal pattern changes and trying to substitute healthier foods into their diets. They also try to implement those smaller meals are better when it comes to eating and increasing exercise throughout the week.

Weight loss is related with a decline in depression and enhanced moods. In this study it showed no difference between medical interference and lifestyle change when it came to weight loss. The purpose of the study was to see if weight loss medication and fad diets had clearer success versus the older ways of healthier eating and diets.

James Yeh, Robert Kushner, Gordon Schiff. (2016). “Obesity and Management of Weight Loss.” The New England Journal of Medicine. 375: 1187-1189

This article talks about two different types of the weight loss. With one that includes using medicine while the other criticizes the questionable “healthy” nature of the drug association. Both provide significant reasons that are for and against medicine execution and give great perceptions into the life of obese people that try to lose the extra weight.

Asibekyan Stella, Garvey Timothy. (2017) “Obesity and Cardiometabolic Disease – More than Meets the Eye.” Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 566-568

In this article they are in the attempt to locate a connection between obesity and Type II diabetes. This issue has been discovered, deemed, and argues by numerous scientists over many years. The truth is that a connection exists somewhere and even in theory it makes one think about his/her diet and life habits. Therefore, it is so important to include this type of information in research because it adds weight to show that obesity is entirely bad for anyone’s health.

In this article it talks about what obesity has done in the United States and makes a natural environment suitable for the position of a law to prevent obesity at the start. It has several authors which all seem, for the most part, to be commendable. This will provide a valid information as how the local government can help prevent obesity in our country. There is a good view of what could happen if a law was put into order and how the results will improve over time.

From this article I read that people in obese BMI range mortality rate isn’t that much higher than the people in the normal BMI range. The author of this article supports his ideas by collecting data from the mortality rate of obese people and compares it to normal people doesn’t have too much of a difference. This article helps show that obesity does not cause that many more deaths, it just shows that obesity can contribute to ongoing health issues.

Several stakeholders gathered, comprising Arab psychological healthcare researchers, organizational, and partners, to highlight difficulties encountered by Arab psychological wellness researchers and suggest an evidence-based sense of urgency. Pervasive prejudice and limited information, violence, and catastrophe, limited organizational and financial resources, inadequate communication possibilities, minimal expertise in mental wellness studies, and partners, to highlight difficulties encountered by Arab psychological wellness researchers and suggest an evidence-based sense of urgency. Pervasive prejudice and limited information, violence, and catastrophe, limited organizational and financial resources, inadequate communication possibilities, minimal expertise in mental wellness studies, and a lack of trustworthy and accurate evaluation instruments are among the issues cited. The suggested response strategy comprises measures to combat stigma and increase awareness, as well as approaches to increase collaboration, create study facilities, improve the mental wellbeing professionals, and translate study results to community and state activity. The suggested financing agency executives and multinational scientific strategy approach may serve as a road map for Arab psychological wellbeing academics and scientific centers, helping to boost study efficiency and narrow the difference between Arab nations and the rest of the globe.

McCrory, A., Best, P., & Maddock, A. (2020). The relationship between highly visual social media and young people’s mental health: A scoping review. Children and Youth Services Review, 115, 105053.
Users of visually rich social networks like Snapchat and Instagram communicate with one another via photons instead of words. Teenagers make up a sizable share of those who utilize such sites. Prior studies have found conflicting data about the influence of online digital networking on the psychological health of this age bracket, and it’s unclear if the mental impacts of visualizations solely vary from those of text-based social media. The review study organizes the available information on visually striking social networks, with a focus on their mental effects on youthful individuals. The findings show that there is a scarcity of evidence that specifically investigates. To attain its goals, most of the material uses quantitative methodologies. Most of the outcomes are inconclusive, and qualitative information would be more useful in elucidating the causes behind these contradictory results.

The above scoping overview examines what kinds of psychological wellbeing issues are addressed in the research, what is their pervasiveness between many psychiatrists, what induces psychological wellbeing issues in psychiatrists, what impacts psychological health issues have on clinicians and their clients, what initiatives may be used to resolve them, and what are the obstacles to pursuing and receiving treatment for mental wellness worries in doctors. The goal of this study is to better comprehend physicians’ psychological state, uncover study limitations, and provide evidence-based treatments. The research emphasized solutions, yet it said nothing regarding obstacles to getting assistance and the impact of physicians’ psychological health problems on patients’ service. Additional study is required to investigate a wider range of mental healthcare issues in doctors, as well as the obstacles to requesting help. It’s equally worth looking at the impact of low physician psychological wellbeing on clients. Lastly, there are no transversal or prospective investigations, as well as assessments of therapies proposed to enhance physicians’ psychological health, in the examined research.

Researchers analyze ways either the diagnostics or medication of bladder cancer could influence psychological wellness throughout multiple disease phases under this cover, which summarizes the evidence on the predictive effects of mental disorders on bladder cancer individuals. Stress and panic are common mental health concerns that coincide with the treatment of bladder cancer, which has a bad prognosis and a higher psychological load. Individuals with bladder cancer are most likely to commit euthanasia, particularly if they are elderly, single men with chronic illness. Mental illnesses, like impaired physical wellness, can affect healthcare results like postsurgical morbidity risks and survivability percentages. Whereas the relevance of psychological wellness in bladder cancer people is becoming more well recognized, more research is required to determine the function of therapies like intellectual behavioral psychotherapy or medication in maximizing medication outcomes.

Health Promotion Program Planning

Health promotion program planning develops an evidence-informed program to promote a healthy lifestyle. The planning process includes operating planning components and strategic programs and a series of decisions to analyze and collect a pool of information. In simple words, it can be said that the process is all about making systematic and thoughtful decisions about what should be done. The topics to be discussed in the health promotion program planning that is interesting and important are obesity and smoking.

Obesity

The first topic for the assignment is obesity, and it is crucial to have intervention-based planning to control obesity. The reason for selecting obesity is that it is one of the most common issues for people with multiple issues. Being overweight increases the risk of serious diseases. The topic is equally interesting and important because many people do not consider obesity critical. An obese person is more vulnerable to chronic diseases, based on a survey. So, it can be said that obesity is a huge threat to public health, and it’s even more severe than an opioid epidemic.

Obesity is linked with hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, etc. There are also some substantial financial losses associated with obesity. Community-based intervention can be highly effective to have obesity prevention efforts. There are different obesity prevention plans specially designed for children and adults. However, some strategies can be effective for both adults and children (Samara, 2019).

Developing solutions through community network: A diverse group of people from the community, including organizations and community membership, must be invited to community Networks and promote awareness about obesity. Network to prevent obesity and raise awareness about its adverse impact would be more effective if social values, a coordinated approach, common goals, and incentives. Community networks can help with obesity by prioritizing needed changes, mapping community needs and assets, and planning an approach.

While developing targets to bring change, communities must prioritize goals that can be accomplished following an evidence-based intervention. Moreover, it is also essential that interventions combine nutrition and physical activities with helping people lose weight. These activities can include aerobic, nutrition education classes, lifestyle skills, strength training, etc. According to research, a combination of physical activities and nutrition can result in an average weight loss of 4 pounds in 6 months (Wickramasinghe, 2021).

Smoking

The second topic to be covered in the assignment is smoking. The topic is interesting because smoking may link to lifestyle, and many people may smoke in response to peer pressure. It is essential to have a proper health promotion plan for smoking that includes awareness about the adverse impact of smoking. Alongside societal change, it is crucial to promote tobacco education to prevent the uptake of smoking in your hand children. As long as smoking is a visible act in social media, tobacco education can play an essential role in preventing smoking in young children.

With regard to smoking, several recommendations can be found in the literature such as planning to ask guests not to smoke, all products of tobacco must be removed from a house, planning to inform peers that a person is trying to quit, planning to cope with withdrawal symptoms, intending to remain smoke-free of seeing someone else smoking, etc. These mentioned intervention plans can be a highly effective part of the health promotion plan regarding smoking. However, minimal research is done to know the positive impact of these intervention plans, making this topic even more interesting because there is a lot to learn (McClure, 2018).

Some people believe that switching to “light” cigarettes can effectively deal with addiction, which is not true. So there are a lot of misconceptions related to this topic which makes it interesting and worth studying. The research also shows that patients suffering from a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who were motivated to quit smoking experienced effective health impacts after following an action plan. In comparison to obesity, smoking takes long-term planning to deal with the addiction. Similarly, the important factor in selecting an action plan is its successful enactment (Chen, 2018).

Conclusion

In conclusion, it can be said that the assignment has covered two health topics, including obesity and smoking, to show the importance of promoting health. The assignment has also covered some analysis on how health programs can help with the issues of obesity and smoking. The reason for selecting these two topics is because health issues are still considered common and not considered a serious concern.

Reflection

While in this class I plan on learning how to engage and inspire people in my community on ways to choose healthier behaviors on a day-to-day basis in their life. I would like to be able to show them how to make the correct and necessary changes needed to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities during their best days of living. Disease prevention varies from health promotion because it focuses on certain efforts projected to reduce the development and seriousness of those specific health illnesses. I would like to learn some ways to promote health and disease prevention programs so I can help others in my community address the social determinants of health that can and will influence these chronic illnesses that lead up to lifetime health problems and even death. In this class I except to grasp all the concepts and contain the information needed to plan and strategize the proper way to create a community program to help those in need. I would like to learn the proper steps to take when organizing a health program that fits into the bigger problem with health concerns for those who struggle. Some people are more at risk than others for these two topics that I have chosen, and I am in the category of obesity for those who are at risk of becoming obese. I do believe that if I can create the right plan and then develop the right program it would be of much help to those who do not believe that it can happen to them. I also chose smoking, and this is because this is also a top killing and contributor to some major health issues in America. Smoking has not only put a damper on people lives, but it has also taken many lives. If this class can teach me what I need to put things in action the correct way, then I believe that I can make a difference in the community around me that can make a small impact on the world overall. I believe that this class will give me certain guidelines that are needed to see things from a smaller and national level from the views of the research that has been done and the research that is still going. With all of that information and the steps giving here I will have a start on what needs to be done from the micro-level that I would like to contribute too.

Mental Health in college students

Mental Health in College Students

Mental health is a serious public health issue that impacts society at large. It includes mental conditions, depression, anxiety, and physical symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, headaches, and back pain. When compared to other people, college students are routinely found to experience high rates of mental distress. For example, compared with the rest population, Australian medical students exhibited much higher levels of psychological distress. According to studies, mental anguish is more common among college students in Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries. According to Mboya et al. (2020), the largest incidence reported was 71.9 percent among medical students at Jizan Higher education institution in Saudi Arabia, almost identical to the percentage observed in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania among non-medical students that were at 70 percent. Mental health issues like mental distress are underreported in many parts of the world. This review will discuss mental illness, focusing on anxiety and depression among college students and its relationship to suicidal thoughts and programming intervention.

College students are likely to have a high rate of mental health disorders. It could be because college coincides with a difficult period for many regular and non-traditional first-year college students. Traditional students enroll for college after high school, and they are younger and still dependent on their parents for financial support. Therefore, they have no full-time work, and in some cases, they do not even have part-time (Bruffaerts et al., 2018). Consequently, concerning academic pressure, these students may experience trouble when handling additional adult-based obligations with no prior skills and intellectual competence required for adulthood. Many typical college students may encounter possibly stressful events for the very first time, like work, being in a committed relationship, or having roommates with different religions and cultural systems.

On the other hand, students who take a non-traditional approach are likely to be employed full-time and may have dependents that need their support. Due to this, many students have challenges trying to balance educational requirements with family and employment obligations. Most college students might experience persistence, aggravation, or initiation of mental and substance abuse disorders in these situations, with little or no care. The percentage of young individuals with psychological problems attending college has raised dramatically as awareness of child mental health problems has grown, as has the usage of more psychotropic drugs. A study conducted by Broglia et al. (2018) indicates increased severity of mental health needs among college students, and the demand is rapidly increasing every day. According to this study, increased tuition fees and broadening engagement schemes contribute to this problem. Broglia et al. (2018) also demonstrate overlapping interest in providing mobile applications that help students manage mental health and offer the potential to handle mental health challenges they face.

Most mental health issues peak in adolescence or early adulthood. According to Pedrelli et al. (2015), by the time young people reach the age of 25 years, seventy-five percent of them will have suffered from a mental condition and have already experienced certain symptoms. The increased upheavals linked to college may precipitate existing psychological issues that first emerged in childhood in conventional students. Students may face increased mental health symptoms or might have a recurrence given the demands of their various responsibilities.

Anxiety in College Students

 Anxiety disorders are a mental health issue among the most prevalent in college students, with the most of them struggling with the disorder. Social phobia is the earliest of the generalized anxiety disorder, whereas panic disorder, GAD, and PTSD appear later. In a population of older teenagers, the ages at which psychiatric illnesses first appear are when they join college. Many universities have documented a rise in the number of students suffering from anxiety, as mental health problems continue to be a major concern for many students. White’s study (2022) found a link between a greater desire for cognitive comprehension and increased stress levels and anxiety. The findings have important implications for students who have been under a lot of stress because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Depression in College Students

Another mental disorder is depression which is among the most common psychological problem among college students. Depression is a serious issue today all over the world. Every nation is investing millions of dollars in solving related psychological problems, depression being one of them. The research survey was done by Sahin et al. (2021) on college students shows a total rate of 58% variance predictor of likelihood among the student population who will be suffering from psychological issues such as anxiety, stress, or depression. These kinds of problems are hindrances to all way round developments. If not treated, depression can lead to permanent mental disorders among students.

Contrary to what many people may believe, depression is a blues feeling and is a common and serious mental condition that is most of the time underestimated. It affects millions of Americans each year. People experiencing depression often lose interest of day-to-day activities, lack self-esteem, experience a lack of energy, and have difficulties in their sleeping patterns. According to Marck et al. (2021), if it’s not treated depression for a prolonged period, it may lead to poor health, drug, and alcohol abuse as well as suicidal ideation. There is no specific cause of depression, but it is often associated with the reoccurrence of one or more symptoms among students. Known forerunners of depression may include genetic inheritance of a chemical called neurological, chronic health illnesses, substance abuse, and high level of stress. There are different types of depression, with the most common one being clinical depression. Symptoms and signs vary depending on the severity, although they can also be specific to different students. After being diagnosed with clinical depression, they will likely experience the signs for the remaining part of their lives.

Relationship between Mental Disorders, Stress and Suicidal thoughts

A clinical study conducted by Wongpakaran et al. (2021), the research explored the relationship between depression, suicidal ideation, personality, and life stress and found the different causes of suicidal thoughts. The study results showed that suicidal thoughts were majorly correlated to anxiety, depression, stress, and personality disorders. Another analysis found that the main predictors of suicide were stressful life events, depression, and extraversion (Lester, 2021). The prevalence of depression among pre-college students shows that depression is very high in pre-university students. The severity and prevalence of depression have been higher in the older age group of students. According to Sazakli et al. (2021), students who studied commerce and statistics suffered more than art and science students. The condition was also relatively higher for male students, especially those studying in Government colleges.

Technology Use in Mental Health Programming

Technology can address the problem of minimal health care seeking among college kids. As stated previously, both conventional and non-traditional students express not seeking help due to a lack of opportunity or a fear of others might perceive. Technology-based diagnosis and treatment programs would provide confidentiality, be accessible at any time, and potentially behave less financial burden. Kola et al. (2021) discovered that most Nigerian perinatal teenagers possess and use smartphones. They would be eager to use these gadgets for mental health awareness, intervention, and preventative campaigns. In this group, smartphone usage is minimal, and women prefer health intervention using text messaging.

Several other studies have studied Web-based anxiety and depression studies to assess for mental issues amongst college students. Lee et al. (2022) investigated a Web-based strategy for testing for depressive episodes and other suicide risk indicators, with participants receiving a customized evaluation and online discussion with only a professional counselor. They found that at-risk students were more likely to seek help by taking this method. These studies evaluated together, encourage the use of Web-based interventions among college students to improve treatment seeking. Furthermore, offering computer-based interventions to students who are worried about being stigmatized or have little time may be beneficial. For instance, there is a variety of cognitive-behavioral therapeutic interventions demonstrated to be beneficial for treating a variety of mental health issues.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the issue of mental health amongst college students has become prevalent. Difficulties of early adulthood, drugs and alcohol abuse, and academic pressure to perform can result in mental illness or worsen pre-existing conditions. Most students suffer from anxiety and depression, which go untreated because they are afraid of seeking help because of stigmatization or lack awareness of these conditions. Since there are no adequate interventions that involve adherence to mental health treatment, the issue often becomes chronic. Therefore, it’s imperative to develop outreach mental health programs that aim to encourage adherence to therapy and other treatment interventions. It’s vital to involve family as college students are still dependent on their families. In addition, since the school curriculum might affect a realistic approach, healthcare providers must guarantee that therapy will be provided all year round for college students. They should also collaborate with other practitioners concerned about providing mental health treatments to students. Clinical intervention demands expertise and knowledge of students’ developmental psychology, concerns for college students, family structures, and the healthcare system.
