Intervención del programa de autocuidado y atención continua a estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

The Self-care and Continuous Student Care Program (AACES) emerged as a proposal from the Integral Development Unit (UDI), based on suggestions from the General Directorate of Medical Services (DGSM) regarding the results of the global health diagnosis at FES Zaragoza in 2005. In this program, approximately six months of work were carried out, involving various activities that served as interventions to address the identified risk situations among university students. The research aimed to promote self-care and the development of psycho-affective and socio-cultural skills contributing to the overall development of individuals to enhance academic performance among young people at Zaragoza. The study was a qualitative action research, employing interviews for evaluation and feedback. The AACES Program offers a variety of products such as informative modules, preventive campaigns, public educational spaces, university fairs on health and responsible sexuality, reflection forums with experts, informative workshops, personalized attention, and research projects. These efforts consolidate intervention with university students, emphasizing the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles and involving students in contests and activities related to gender equity, sexual diversity, risk prevention, peace culture, and non-violence.
