Relationship between Psychosocial Factors and Physical Activity among Undergraduate Students from a South African University.

Psychosocial factors such as mental health, motivation, and social support are key determinants of behavior that play a significant role in physical activity participation. Limited studies have investigated the relationship between psychosocial factors and physical activity among university students in Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between psychosocial factors and physical activity participation among undergraduate university students at a historically disadvantaged university (HDU) in South Africa.

Predictors of student agency: the relationship between student agency, learning support and learning experiences in an interprofessional health science faculty.

Interprofessional education allows for collaboration of two or more health professions during their training at university with a view of cultivating collaborative practice and client-centered health care. Although South Africa's higher education system is the leader in the field of research on the continent, there is little evidence of the role of student agency in the attainment of collaborative interprofessional activities. Therefore, an exploration of the interconnectedness of student agency, learning support, learning experiences and the lecturer-student experiences of health science students is well worth academic scrutiny within a interprofessional academic space.
