Summary
Universities implement the Health Promoting Universities (HPU) framework differently, even within networks. Analysis revealed three types: Incipient, Premature, and Mature HPU, based on health promotion actions and recognition.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Higher Education Studies
- Health Promotion
Background:
- The Health Promoting Universities (HPU) framework aims to integrate health promotion into university settings.
- Understanding the diverse implementation of HPU across institutions is crucial for effective strategy development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the implementation of the HPU framework in 22 Spanish universities.
- To identify different university profiles based on HPU framework adoption and practice.
Main Methods:
- Document analysis of university networks to assess HPU action areas.
- Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis to categorize universities.
Main Results:
- Three university types emerged: 'Incipient HPU' (ad-hoc actions), 'Premature HPU' (roadmap need, no practice), and 'Mature HPU' (recognized by authorities).
- Implementation varied significantly, even among universities within the same network.
Conclusions:
- Universities exhibit distinct approaches to recognizing and implementing the HPU framework.
- Contextual factors and institutional recognition play a significant role in HPU adoption and practice.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
