The survey
Part of a wider research project run across six UK universities, the 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, Nurture-U survey is conducted by researchers within the Department of Psychiatry. It has been designed to gather information about student mental health and wellbeing at various points of the university experience, which will then inform the development and improvement of support services.
Participation consists of two survey questionnaires per academic year throughout your studies. The frequency of the surveys is to give researchers an idea of how your wellbeing and mental health change in time, as well as when and why this might happen. Each survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
Previous results
The Nurture-U survey was first introduced in the 2022/23 academic year. The results from the survey last autumn 2022 show that while most students would currently rate their mental health as good, very good, or average, 45% of the students surveyed have a past or present mental health or learning disability diagnosis, with 27% of these students having received a diagnosis of anxiety. Half of the students surveyed also self-reported having had moderate to severe anxiety, depression, or sleep disorders (with some of them having more than one of these).
These results highlight the utmost importance of mental health conversations and support services in a university setting, while also illustrating how this study and the information it collects can help going forward.
