Main Results:

  • Students perceived the wellness interventions as useful and applicable.
  • Key themes included intentionality in self-care and sharing social connection techniques.
  • Positive reception of both educational sessions and the wellness cart.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare graduate students positively perceived the wellness interventions.
  • Students expressed intent to integrate daily wellness strategies.
  • Participants aimed to share learned wellness techniques with others.
