Assessing the Impact of a Health Education Intervention for Post-secondary International Students in Canada
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Objective The objective is to determine the impact of a health education intervention on self-rated health knowledge, levels of stress and anxiety, and ability to find and access school resources for international students studying at a Canadian University and College. Participants and setting This is a pre- and post-intervention survey. Undergraduate and graduate international students on the shared campus of Durham College and Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario were included. Interventions International students participating in this study received two structured visits, scheduled two weeks apart. At the start of the first visit, students completed a baseline survey which included questions on self-rated health knowledge, stress levels, and ability to access school resources. At this visit, students received 30 minutes of structured health education from a registered nurse on the topics of sexual health and adult immunizations. At the second visit, students received 30 minutes of structured teaching from the registered nurse on the topics of mental health, COVID-19, and campus resources. Upon the completion of this teaching, students completed a post-intervention survey with the same questions as the pre-survey, to gauge for changes related to the intervention. Results T-values were calculated for each survey item from the pre and post-survey. These t-values were used as the outcome measure to determine changes in health knowledge, stress levels, and ability to access resources following the intervention. In total, there were 202 participants. Statistical analysis showed significant t-values for all survey items in the pre- and post-analysis. Following the education intervention, the highest t-values were noted in self-rated sexual health knowledge (t-value 16.80, p < 0.001), ability to find and access school resources (t-value 16.14, p < 0.001), and current level of stress/anxiety in regard to being in a new country (t-value 14.04, p < 0.001). Conclusion Following a structured health education intervention, international students reported significant increases in self-rated health knowledge for specific topics, ability to find and access school resources, ability to get help for a mental health issue, and significant decreases in self-rated stress/anxiety. These results can support further exploration of health education in international student populations to ensure these students are adequately informed and supported when arriving in a new country.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
