Description
This integrated review explored the significance of PERMA, a multidimensional well-being framework, and PERMA-based interventions in promoting student well-being within higher education contexts. The literature search resulted in 16 studies, and the synthesizing of key research findings supports the effectiveness of PERMA-based intervention on students overall well-being. The interventions centered on cultivating PERMA (positive emotions, engagement, relationship, meaning, accomplishment) offered as semester courses, classroom-based curricula, or intervention programs were found successful in improving wellbeing, happiness, life satisfaction, motivation, relationship building, engagement in learning, and reducing negative emotions, stress, academic boredom, anxiety, depression. Overall, the review findings demonstrate that embedding a PERMA-based well-being program as a holistic approach in education would foster a supportive learning environment and social connection in promoting individual and collective well-being among the students. Future studies could strengthen the present findings and respond to the limitations of the existing studies, which would provide a better understanding of the application and effects of PERMA-based programs.
