Abstract:This article presents a personal reflection, exploring theoretical frameworks as the basis of understanding a range of influences on the personal health of the primary author, since beginning university as a student nurse. The work explores theoretical and lay definitions of health and wellbeing, before analysing influences on health from a personal perspective. The discussion analyses how individuals can take action to enhance their health and wellbeing, through understanding of theoretical frameworks. Crucially, personal understanding about managing health and wellbeing supports student nurses in their role of helping patients to explore and enhance their own health and wellbeing.

Abstract:This article presents a reflection of my personal health journey since starting university as a student nurse. Focusing on social, physical and psychological aspects of health, it explores the impact of stress and the cessation of exercise on my health and wellbeing. The similarities and differences of lay and theoretical definitions of health are examined, and a personal definition of health is presented. The discussion presents my understanding of health as a student nurse, and analyses how loneliness has impacted on my health and wellbeing during the first two terms of university.
