Examining International Students' Holistic Wellness
McDaniel, Anne; Dionne, Julia; Regan, Erica P.
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v58 n2 p227-240 2021
This quantitative study examines differences between the holistic wellness of international students in the United States (n = 244) and a random sub-sample of their domestic U.S. peers (n = 244) using wellness assessment data. Findings suggest international students have significantly better wellness profiles than domestic students, specifically within the emotional, financial, and physical wellness dimensions. As U.S. universities work to attract and retain international students, a better understanding of international students' holistic wellness is critical.
