Estudio de caso: Universidad de Miami

Fondo

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.

El problema

Según una encuesta de Healthy Minds Network, de los estudiantes que intentaron buscar atención de salud mental durante la pandemia, el 23,3% dijo que había sido "mucho más difícil" acceder a la atención. La Asociación Americana de Psicología ha declarado que "los adultos de la Generación Z (entre 18 y 23 años) se encuentran en un momento crucial de sus vidas, y están experimentando la edad adulta en un momento en el que el futuro parece incierto". Casi 8 de cada 10 adultos Gen Z (79%) dicen que el futuro de nuestra nación es una fuente importante de estrés en su vida. La Universidad de Miami, que siempre pone a los estudiantes en primer lugar y da prioridad a su salud y bienestar, quería adoptar un enfoque innovador para proporcionar recursos que se adapten a las necesidades únicas de cada estudiante y maximizar su compromiso con la forma física y el bienestar, ya que los estudiantes toman clases a distancia o viven fuera del campus.

Nuestra solución

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.

Resultados

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.

" Me gusta la variedad de ejercicios ofrecidos".
"Me ha resultado muy útil".

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.
