Promoting Inclusion And Well-Being At Federico II University: A Preliminary Survey

The inclusion in HE has a key role in the personal and social wellbeing, in the retention in studies, prevention of drop-out and low performance. Within an health promotion background, the study aims to construct a quali-quantitative questionnaire as a "thermometer" to measure the inclusion and active participation of students to university. In a preliminary way, 230 questionnaires were administered to students attending courses in Psychology at Federico II University, Naples. We discuss the results emerged from the analysis of open answers of students about the difficulties lived in relation to the whole university path (up) and to a specific exam (se) to highlight the different contexts of meanings. We performed, through the T-Lab software, a cluster analysis and the projection of clusters and variables on the factorial plane. Results highlight three contexts of meanings: the big absent: finding the study method (44%) (SM); the difficulty to find the equilibrium (28%) (DE); the difficulty to manage the overload (28%) (DO). From factorial analysis emerged two factors. Strategic Positioning (STP) that opposes a more complex plan (DE/DO) with a specific one (se/SM). This factor shows two distinct positioning part of the same continuum as they are founded on the need to have a strategy to deal with (up) and (se). Self Positioning (SP), as search, represents the trajectory to deal with the confusion (DE/SM), that gives a passive positioning, to acquire a subjective positioning within an agentive dialogue with university. SP highlights, as a continuum, the attempt to integrate the different self-roles: student/person. The results offer, not only the limits, but also the direction of development to calibrate the interventions of the SInAPSi in a targeted way, supporting health inclusive processes and active participation, in line with the peculiarity of the context.
