Abstract
Background: This study aims to investigate the change over time in student developed well-being related goals based on the definition of “The 8 dimensions of wellness”. It is expected that the changes experienced by students during the COVID 19 pandemic will impact the type of wellness goals students develop for themselves.
Method: All pharmacy students at ONU are required to complete an annual goal setting assignment as part of their co-curricular requirement each academic year. Personal goals were extracted from submissions from 2019 to 2021. The goals were classified into 8 categories (emotional, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, spiritual, and time management). A beta-test was conducted by principal investigator and responsible investigator to confirm definitions were consistently interpreted between raters.
Results: The study sample consisted of 1230, 1142 and 1324 goals which were classified into 8 categories in 2019, 2020, and 2021 respectively. The result showed 8% were emotional, 1% were financial, 36% were intellectual, 28% were occupational, 10% were physical, 8% were social, 1% were spiritual and 7% were time management. The final data analysis will be updated in April.
