Estudo de caso: Universidade de Miami

Antecedentes

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.

O problema

De acordo com um inquérito da Healthy Minds Network, dos estudantes que tentaram procurar cuidados de saúde mental durante a pandemia, 23,3% afirmaram ter sido "muito mais difícil" aceder aos cuidados. A American Psychological Association declarou que "os adultos da Geração Z (18-23 anos) estão num momento crucial das suas vidas e estão a viver a idade adulta numa altura em que o futuro parece incerto". Quase 8 em cada 10 adultos da Geração Z (79%) dizem que o futuro da nossa nação é uma fonte significativa de stress nas suas vidas. A Universidade de Miami - sempre colocando os alunos em primeiro lugar e priorizando a saúde e o bem-estar dos alunos - queria adotar uma abordagem inovadora para fornecer recursos que atendessem às necessidades exclusivas de cada aluno e maximizar o engajamento de fitness e bem-estar dos alunos, pois os alunos estão tendo aulas remotamente ou morando fora do campus.

A nossa solução

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.

Os 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.

" Gosto da variedade de exercícios propostos."
"Isto tem sido muito útil para mim."

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.
