Fallstudie: Universität Miami

Hintergrund

CARAVAN offers online wellness video classes and customized wellness programs and challenges to all Miami University students and employees. General research has shown that different aspects of wellness interconnect and work together to support the individual’s overall well-being.* CARAVAN provides the largest variety of engaging wellness activities, and is accessible anywhere students need it, especially during the pandemic.

Das Problem

Laut einer Umfrage des Healthy Minds Network gaben 23,3 % der Studenten, die während der Pandemie versucht hatten, eine psychosoziale Betreuung in Anspruch zu nehmen, an, dass es "viel schwieriger" gewesen sei, eine Betreuung zu erhalten. Die American Psychological Association hat festgestellt, dass sich die Erwachsenen der Generation Z (18-23 Jahre) an einem entscheidenden Punkt in ihrem Leben befinden und das Erwachsensein in einer Zeit erleben, in der die Zukunft unsicher erscheint. Fast 8 von 10 Erwachsenen der Generation Z (79 %) geben an, dass die Zukunft unserer Nation eine wichtige Quelle für Stress in ihrem Leben ist. Die Miami University, die die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden ihrer Studenten immer an erste Stelle setzt, wollte einen innovativen Ansatz verfolgen, um Ressourcen bereitzustellen, die den individuellen Bedürfnissen jedes einzelnen Studenten entsprechen und das Engagement der Studenten für Fitness und Wellness maximieren, da die Studenten ihre Kurse aus der Ferne besuchen oder außerhalb des Campus leben.

Unsere Lösung

CARAVAN’s holistic solution easily addressed the diverse needs of Miami University student population. To maximize student engagement on all aspects of wellness and to avoid focusing on one problem at a time, CARAVAN designed monthly holistic wellness challenges and encouraged everyone at Miami University to participate. For example, we planned a custom, 30-day “Holistic Wellness” program to help students learn the importance of having a well-rounded approach to wellness. The challenge included activities in strength training, fitness, pilates, meditation, mindfulness, brain training and more. The classes on CARAVAN are short, ranging from 2 to 30 minutes, which are easy to do in between classes, keeping the students committed and on track. CARAVAN also has an accessibility solution for Miami University. All CARAVAN video classes now have video captioning, alt text, and other features, meeting AccessMU Center’s requirements and bringing the video player into compliance with WCAG AA standards.

Die Ergebnisse

Aſter 2 months of using CARAVAN’s wellness solution, 86% of participating Miami University students were satisfied with the new wellness program. From the participant survey, results showed a 67% increase in overall health. A few students shared their experiences with CARAVAN. Students reported that they liked the variety of exercises offered and the shortness of the videos.

" Ich mag die Vielfalt der angebotenen Übungen."
"Das war sehr hilfreich für mich."

The results from the Miami University students in just 2 months shows the positive impact that CARAVAN’s digital wellness program has made. By providing accessible and effective wellness programs, more students are able to make efforts in cultivating their overall well- being.
