Universities can foster health and well-being through Health-Promoting University (HPU) initiatives. This review explores the theoretical underpinnings of HPUs, highlighting the need for integrated frameworks to bridge theory and practice for healthier campus environments.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Higher Education Studies
- Health Promotion Theory
Background:
- Universities are unique settings for health promotion.
- Health-Promoting University (HPU) initiatives are globally present but lack theoretical clarity.
- Existing literature offers limited insight into the theoretical foundations of HPUs.
Conclusions:
- The Health-Promoting University (HPU) concept is supported by diverse theories and models.
- A unified university framework is needed to integrate theoretical principles into practical application.
- Bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation is crucial for creating healthy university environments and requires further research on effectiveness.
