Student Wellbeing Monitor 2024: Students flourish despite stress
How are you doing? The annual Student Wellbeing Monitor (SWM) helps us gain insight into your well-being, engagement and study success. Researcher Lisa Klinkenberg sees few changes in the first analyses of 2024 compared to last year: "After the corona period, we saw an improvement in mental well-being in 2022 and 2023. That trend is now continuing in a stable way."
Although mental well-being is stable, there are small positive changes. "Teacher involvement and study motivation have increased slightly, and fewer students need extra support. If they do, they will receive it more often," says Lisa.
Students' money worries affect me deeply. They influence their study success and well-being.
For the third year, the results have been summarised in an infographic.
The SWM data will be used for further research. This year, the focus is on sources of stress and social safety. "We see that a large group of students experience a lot of stress due to late information and ambiguities in communication within the study. We're going to zoom in on that more," says Lisa.
There are a lot of students with mental health problems. Thanks to the SWM, Inholland has a better understanding of what is going on.
