“…In the case of IPD incidence, digestive diseases, injury and poisoning, and musculoskeletal diseases were the top-ranking diagnoses for both sexes. These results show a close correlation to those in a study from Egypt [ 26 ].…”

“…That study noted that about 42.5% of the students reported that they had used the university health center services [25]. However, the need for hospitalization was low (less than 2%), a finding equivalent to a prior hospital-based study in Egypt [26].…”

“…However, there are some other groups of diseases that were reported as high ranking in other studies but not in this one. For example, the study in Egypt also reported that disease of the eye and adnexa, and certain infectious and parasitic diseases, were in their top-ranking diagnoses [ 26 ]. In a study in US students, preventive-related services (e.g., contraceptive management; physical examinations for athletics, travel and work; screenings for lipid abnormality, and hypertension) had the highest percentage of diagnosis category [ 6 ].…”

The health care services for university students are important to improve student health and well-being. Analyzing the database of health conditions in the health service system will identify common health problems, which could be useful in further appropriate and specific health service planning. This study aims to investigate the utilization of health care services and common disease diagnoses among university students enrolled at Chiang Mai University during the academic year of 2018. A retrospective study was carried out using health data from the electronic health records (EHR) database of the university hospital. Ethical procedures were followed. Out of the overall 35,249 students in the academic year 2018, 17,284 students (49.03%) had visited an outpatient department (65,150 outpatient department visits), and 407 students (1.15%) had been admitted to the hospital (458 inpatient department admissions). The proportions of utilization between each field of education and training were similar across both groups. The top five categories of diagnosis, for both outpatient department visits and inpatient department admissions, differed between gender. Some of the most common diseases included trauma and injury conditions, respiratory diseases, and mental health. The conclusion of the study is that integration of a health promotion program with preventive methods, especially regarding traffic injury, transmitted diseases, mental health support, and safe environments are essential for university students. A general overview of utilization and common diseases among university students, which is still lacking in the literature, could be useful as a platform to enhance health care services for common diseases.

The online appointment system at the university health centre was introduced by the University of Technology (UTech), Jamaica management in 2014. The purpose of this study was to determine the users' views of the online appointment system, as well as their views about the services offered at the university health centre. To achieve this purpose, a descriptive research design was used to answer three research questions. The convenience sampling method was used to select 50 participants (30 students & 20 university staff members), who visited and used the health centre services. A questionnaire with an internal consistency of 0.87 was used to collect data from the participants who gave their consent. The findings showed that a majority of those who used the online appointment system were satisfied. The general view of the users about the health services provided at the health centre was positive. The results of the Fisher Exact test showed that there were differences in the views of the students and the staff in their responses to two items that measured the services provided by the doctors, and the access to the different services. Recommendations were made on how to improve the online appointment system as it relates to timing, and quality of services provided.
