Title	Author, Year Country	Method, Instruments, Participants	Objective	Main results
Standing breaks in lectures improve university students’ self-perceived physical, mental, and cognitive condition	Paulus et al., 2021 Germany	Quantitative Questionnaire 582 university students	Examine the impact of extended sitting on students’ self-perceived physical, mental, and cognitive health.	Students’ self-perceived cognitive abilities improve when they spend the break sitting, but their physical and mental well-being suffers. Standing breaks in university lectures are a simple and successful approach to break up students’ sitting time that does not need the presence of a teacher.
Interpreting usability factors predicting sustainable adoption of cloud-based e-learning environment during Covid-19 pandemic	Dutta et al., 2021 Taiwan	Quantitative Structured questionnaires online 256 university students	Investigate the functional relationship between attitudinal readiness, subjective well-being, and cloud-based e-learning adoption intention.	The impact of self-efficacy on adoption intention varies across students who want to utilize it and those who don’t. Analytical elements for attitudinal preparedness, subjective well-being, and adoption intention include a tight interaction between instructors and students, students’ self-governing adaption throughout class, and mutual support and referents among peers. As a result, instructors must pay particular attention to the subtle changes in the instructor-student relationship, students’ psychological and learning conditions.
Mental well-being in United Kingdom higher education during Covid-19: Do students trust universities and the government?	Defeyter et al., 2021 United Kingdom	Quantitative Questionnaire 600 university students	Study of mental well-being and recreancy focuses on the role of universities and government regulators within the education sector.	Confidence in institutions and regulators might play a significant role in students’ mental health during ecological disasters. Students may have grown to rely on university and government organizations to preserve their mental well-being, but now believe these actors can no longer be trusted. Findings suggest universities should pay greater attention to the link between trust and mental health.
Promoting emotional and social well-being and a sense of belonging in adolescents through participation in volunteering	Luque-Suárez et al., 2021 Spain	Quantitative Questionnaire 985 university students	Assess the systematic mechanisms that impact students’ volunteering decisions, as well as the connections between volunteer motivation and the degree pursued.	Volunteering is becoming more connected with good characteristics that aid in the improvement of mental and physical health. Volunteering may be a therapeutic way of dealing with emotions of despair or solitude. It can also enhance self-esteem and people’s lives through encouraging emotional well-being.
The impact of audience response platform mentimeter on the student and staff learning experience	Mayew et al., 2020 United Kingdom	Mixed Questionnaire 204 university students	Providing evidence of effect for lecturers aiming to improve student learning environments while keeping in mind the underlying pedagogy that supports new practices.	Several respondents cited a shift away from passive teaching sessions, a greater emphasis on staff-student and peer-peer conversation in accordance with dialogic teaching approaches, and a more responsive approach to session material. Mentimeter has the potential to increase student pleasure, engagement, voice, and learning, as well as provide a more dynamic and fascinating teaching role for the lecturer.
Evaluation of the emotional and cognitive regulation of young people in a lockdown situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic	Fernández et al., 2020 Spain	Quantitative Questionnaire 1910 responses from more than 80 universities in 13 different Spanish-speaking countries	Examine the pupils’ cognitive-emotional control, as well as their ideas and views concerning the epidemic and the lockdown.	One of the study’s conclusions is the students’ self-evaluation of their digital competence and opportunity for improvement in virtual communicative engagement. University students have to substantially alter their study habits in order to adapt to a new teaching method. Without feeling of optimism, passion, confidence in their digital talents, and social support, none of this would have been possible.
Understanding the role of social interactions in the development of an extracurricular university volunteer activity in a developing country	Díaz-Iso et al., 2020 Spain	Qualitative In-depth interviews 23 university students	Explore whether students believe that participating in structured extracurricular activities has a favorable influence on their academic training, professional growth, university adjustment, psychological well-being.	Students believe that engaging with other students and those at risk of social exclusion might help them improve their academic and professional practices. Findings imply that encouraging volunteer activities in higher education has a variety of benefits. It allows university students to build knowledge shared with others and develop personal and social skills.
Shared living experiences by physicians have a positive impact on mental health attitudes and stigma among medical students: A mixed-method study	Martin et al., 2020 Israel	Mixed Questionnaire and life experiences 53 quantitative study 19 qualitative study Second-year medical students	Determine the effects of physicians sharing their personal stories of overcoming major life problems as an educational intervention to prevent mental health stigma and self-stigma.	When medical culture is constructed on a secret curriculum of stoic perfectionism, trainees may feel as though there is no tolerance for mistakes or sharing personal flows among physicians. Senior physicians sharing personal histories of vulnerability can assist to de-stigmatize mental health and normalize help-seeking among medical students.
Sustainable well-being challenge: A student-centered pedagogical tool linking human well-being to ecological flo urishing	Vatovec and Ferrer, 2019 United States of America	Mixed Intervention reports and questionnaires 35 university students	Determine whether students would uncover positive elements of human conduct that can contribute to both human and ecological well-being.	Students who undertook the Sustainable Well-Being Challenge (SWBC) had a mean rise in positive affect and a mean decrease in negative effect on the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule scale, depending on the activity. Participants were able to recognize the link between their own well-being and the ecological sustainability of each activity.
Walking outdoors during seminars improved perceived seminar quality and sense of well-being among participants	Bälter et al., 2018 Sweden	Mixed Questionnaires and interview 140 participants: 131 university students, 9 teachers	Conduct a feasibility study on how to include physical activity into regular teaching activities for students and teachers, as well as to research how students and teachers viewed the variations in well-being between outdoor walking seminars and normal indoor seminars.	According to both the students and the professors who led the seminars, a sense of well-being may be achieved as the seminars’ perceived quality improves. Incorporating comparable types of outdoor walking into normal work days might provide a number of health and educational benefits. It is insufficient to encourage people to become more physically active.
