Abstract

Most university students suffer from psychosocial maladjustments which put their
learning and school performance at stake. Manyof them find it difficult to enjoy
physical safety, psychological wellbeing, emotional security and optimal health
status. Hence, the Tripartite-based Intervention Model of the School Health
Educator which, to a large degree, can manage the many faulty psychosocial
environments of university students. It is a three-wheeled social and
psychological framework that contributes to promoting worthwhile health status
of university students by reducing the many challenges created by the students
and other school personnel which impinge on them and their environment. Three
phases of dynamic interaction are needed to achieve the model’s specific
objectives of minimizing the occurrence of faulty psychosocial environments,
reducing identified psychosocial damages, assuring physical safety,
psychological wellbeing, emotional security and sound health status of university
students
