A personal reflection: using theoretical frameworks to understand the impact of starting university on health and wellbeing.

摘要

This article presents a personal reflection using theoretical frameworks as the basis of understanding multifaceted influences on the personal health of the primary author since beginning undergraduate university degree studies in nursing. It also explores theoretical and lay definitions of health and wellbeing, before analysing influences on health from a personal perspective. This illustrates how understanding, developed through the use of theoretical frameworks, can enable individuals to enhance their own health and wellbeing.
