The project
Student health Management (SGM) at UdS
On February 1, 2021, the starting signal was given for our initiative project, sponsored by the Techniker Krankenkasse, to establish a systematic student health management at Saarland University!
You surely know it too: Studying is usually associated with many uncertainties, such as moving out of the parental home, the transition between studying and working as well as finding one's identity as an adult. In addition, there is increased pressure to perform due to the modularization of degree programs. Furthermore, the current pandemic situation confronts students with major bio-psycho-social challenges.
This is exactly where fit4more comes in: In order to get you through your studies fit and healthy and to prepare you adequately for your later professional life, starting in the summer semester of 2021, the project fit4more - healthy studying will bundle previously existing individual activities of different actors at the UdS, expand them systematically and demand-driven and integrate them into the everyday life of students.
The objectives of the project are the development of sustainable health competencies both for the time of study but also for later professional life, as well as the conceptualisation and introduction of a study-accompanying health certificate in the medium term. The topics physical activity, nutrition, mental health, and additional qualifications are the main focus. Based on your survey results, topics such as dealing with exam anxiety or healthy sleep will also be included in the offer. The project will also be scientifically evaluated by the UdS Medical Faculty, Medical Psychology Department.
The goal is to create a healthy working, living and learning environment for you.
Die Projektbeteiligten
Gesundheit hat viele Facetten. Und daher haben sich die unterschiedlichsten universitätsinternen und universitätsnahen Akteur*innen zusammengeschlossen, um euch vor allem mit Angeboten aus den Bereichen Bewegung, psychische Gesundheit, gesunde Ernährung und Kompetenzen für Studium und Beruf sowohl mental fit als auch körperlich gesund durchs Studium zu bringen.
Und diese Partner*innen sind dabei:
The AStA represents the university students in all matters concerning the university. This representation also includes supporting projects from which students benefit and which make everyday study life easier.
As a central institution of Saarland University, the University Sports Center offers students and employees approximately 600 sports and exercise activities in more than 70 sports disciplines each year. With more than 4,000 participants per week, the University Sports Center is one of the largest sports providers in Saarland.
Medical psychology is an independent field within the human science of medicine. It is represented in medical research and medical teaching. In academic education, our focus is on teaching medical psychological and medical sociological skills. A special concern is the teaching of communicative skills and the improvement of doctor-patient communication. Within the framework of the project fit4more - healthy studying we will take over the scientific evaluation of the project.
University catering service:
Studierendenwerk Saarland operates the dining halls and cafeterias at Saarland's universities. We offer healthy food to students and staff from all over the world. With a large selection of changing, exciting, international and authentic meals, we offer food, from breakfast to dinner, at reasonable prices and always with consideration for the environment and with a claim to sustainability. We put social responsibility at the center of our work.
Psychological-Psychotherapeutic Counseling Center:
The Psychological-Psychotherapeutic Counseling Center is available to all students and employees of the UdS and other Saarland universities for free and confidential use. We provide counseling for study and/or personal problems. In addition to individual consultations, we also provide workshops on various topics. Registration is unbureaucratic and can be done by phone, email or in person. In urgent cases, we offer an open consultation hour once a week.
Prevention in its true sense means the kind of prevention that does not refer to an addiction alone, but to the health and life skills of a person himself.
A person's health and well-being are the most important prerequisites for successful functioning in everyday life.
UdS is committed to working with you to achieve this.
The Counceling Center is committed to student health in the following areas:
- Questions about abuse and dependence on addictive substances - especially in the selection of therapies as well as clinics, counseling centers or self-help groups,
- Training in dealing with people addicted to addictive substances.
In the area of "Prevention and Health Promotion", the TK offers a needs-oriented and innovative product portfolio and takes an active role in shaping prevention policy. Since almost 20 years, the TK supports and advises companies and universities in the introduction and establishment of a health management. In doing so, a holistic approach is particularly important to the TK. The aim is to improve the general health conditions and contribute to the well-being of everyone. TK's commitment to student health management (SGM) is based on the " Law to Strengthen Health Promotion and Prevention", with which the legislature in 2015 mandated the health insurance funds to strengthen the establishment of health-promoting structures in the university environment, to survey the health situation of students and to support suitable interventions.
Key Competencies:
The Key Competencies Program of Saarland University at the Teaching and Learning Center (ZeLL) is aimed at students, teachers, scientists, guest students and other members of the university. The events provide participants with the opportunity to further develop their key competencies for studies, career, teaching and science in small groups. The events and courses are led by experienced experts.
Guest student program:
The guest student program provides those interested in science with the opportunity to put together an individual program from among the hundreds of courses open to guest students. Attending lectures and seminars that are open to guest students has its own special charm because of the encounter of different generations.
In addition to the actual guest student program, the ZeLL offers an accompanying program as an "appetizer" (bridge courses, techniques of scientific work, key competence workshops, etc.).
