Survey "Feeling good?" 2023

Following the positive reactions to the first edition of this survey in 2021, "Feeling good?" has been renewed for a second edition. The survey ran from March 3 to 31, 2023, and was conducted online among 7297 students who had been registered at Unifr for at least 3 semesters.

Goals

In order to contribute to the well-being of students studying at Unifr, this survey aims firstly to inform them of the support services available on the Unifr campus. In a second way, the data collected helps Uni-Social identify the difficulties that students may be facing, and get involved to remedy them.

Some figures

Over 898 Unifr students, i.e. more than one in ten, took part in this survey, providing feedback on subjects relating to their studies, their financial situation, their quality of life, their health, as well as concerns and difficulties encountered during the 2022/2023 academic year.

Survey "How are you" 2023

Following the positive repercussions of previous editions, the "How are you?" project has been reconducted for a fourth edition. The survey ran from November 9 to November 30, 2023, and was conducted online among 1905 students, i.e. all new students enrolled at Unifr in the autumn semester 2023/2024 in a Bachelor's, Master's, DEEM or PhD program.

Objectives

The purpose of this survey is to create a connection with newly enrolled students, to enquire about their adaptation to Unifr and to inform them about the offers and support services available on campus. The data collected allows Uni-Social to identify any difficulties that new students may face, and to get involved in order to remedy them.

Some figures

Within the framework of this survey, 480 new Unifr students (25%), i.e. almost one in four of the students, expressed their questions, their doubts and the difficulties they encountered during their first weeks of study.

Abstract

Aim

This article reports on the validation of the German version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) in a community-based sample of adults living in Vienna, Austria ( n  = 625).

Subject and methods

For psychometric property testing, survey data were rigorously analysed with advanced multivariate methods under aspects of validity and reliability. The properties of the total scale scores are examined by descriptive statistics.

Results

There was a high response rate to the scale (94.2%) with uni-modal distributed and slightly skewed items. The one-factor Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) model was not supported by the data, but the structure of the WEMWBS was excellently described by a bi-factor model [ χ ² = 160.63 (60), RMSEA = 0.05, CFI = 0.97, SRMR = 0.03] with one strong general MWB factor (ECV = 0.70, ωH = 0.81) and three relatively weak residualised (group) factors (ECV < 0.15, ωS < 0.29), which were associated with the domains of MWB (positive affect, functioning and personal relationships). The mean total score of the 14-item scale was 54.5 (53.8 -55.2) and slightly skewed, but with no floor or ceiling effects. There was a moderate correlation with the EUROHIS-QOL scale (r = 0.64, p  < 0.01) and score differences in major socio-demographic groups (age, education level, marital status).

Conclusions

The German version of the WEMWBS achieved good validity and reliability in our test sample and is recommended for future applications. Advanced qualitative and quantitative research methods are suggested to further test the scale.

Notes

1. The concepts MWB and PMH are often used interchangeably. In the following report, we will refer to MWB.

2. By adaption and shortening of the Affectometer 2 scale (Tennant et al. 2006).

3. Note: For a good fit, the χ ² value should be non-significant, but is rarely obtained when the sample is large, as is the case in the present study.

4. A more parsimonious but incomplete CBA model including only group factors GF1 and GF2 but without GF3 also resulted in an excellent model fit: χ ²  = 186.54 (64), RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.96, SRMR = 0.03.

5. Cronbach's alpha (α) was 0.92 for the total score and 0.74, 0.66 and 0.60 for the group factors.
