Self-efficacy, mindfulness, and perceived social support as resources to maintain the mental health of students in Switzerland’s universities of applied sciences: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

These findings suggest that self-efficacy, mindfulness, and perceived social support are valuable resources for protecting students' mental health. Thus, implementing interventions aimed at reinforcing them, could support students in applied sciences all along their academic pathway, in their classes and during their professional work experience placements.
