Summary
Student psychosocial health (PH) is crucial in health professions programs. Enhancing PH positively impacts academic and clinical performance, benefiting students and future healthcare.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Psychosocial Health Research
- Concept Analysis
Background:
- Student enrollment in health professions programs is associated with significant stress.
- This stress can negatively impact students' overall psychosocial health (PH).
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a concept analysis of psychosocial health (PH).
- To understand PH within the specific context of health professions programs using Rodgers' method.
Main Methods:
- A systematic, blinded PRISMA review of 3719 studies was performed.
- 35 relevant studies were identified and synthesized.
- Narrative summary tables were created to identify antecedents, attributes, and consequences of PH.
Main Results:
- Psychosocial health (PH) attributes include mental health, stress management, resilience, emotional intelligence, self-esteem, social support, physical health, and academic-personal life balance.
- Key influencing factors encompass students' developmental, social, and environmental characteristics, alongside academic pressure and workload.
Conclusions:
- Psychosocial health (PH) significantly influences academic and clinical performance in health professions students.
- Interventions by educators and clinicians to support student PH yield positive outcomes.

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will.
