Well-being of Chinese students - a review in the context of implications for the educational proces

Abstract

Students’ well-being in China seems to be insufficiently researched. This article reviews the recent literature on Chinese students' well-being to illustrate the relationship that exists between mental health and education as well as to identify implications for improving well-being. Eighteen articles published between 2012 and 2022 were reviewed and selected according to a systematic protocol. It was found that the reviewed papers focused on 4 areas: analyses of well-being in the context of implications for the study process, analyses of students’ wellbeing in the context of various characteristics yet without direct implications for the study process, studies of well-being conducted among medical students and in relation to Chinese students studying abroad.
