It is important to consider university settings as sustainable environments that promote
student well-being. Our aim in this study was to determine how the variables of engagement,
emotional intelligence, sense of coherence, and coping influence the health of students at a Spanish
university. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The instruments of measures administered
were: The General Health Questionnaire, Trait Meta-Mood Scale, UterchWork Engagement Scale,
sense of coherence and brief coping scale to 463 students. The results showed that better-perceived
health was associated with higher scores for dedication, vigor, clarity, repair, sense of coherence,
active coping, positive reframing, and humor. Conversely, poorer perceived health was associated
with higher scores for attention, instrumental support, self-distraction, venting, religion, denial,
self-blaming, emotional support, and behavioral disengagement. In addition, the variables analyzed
presented di erences by sex. Our proposed predictive model of health and the associations between
variables indicate the need to cultivate emotional skills, such as mood repair, a sense of coherence, and
coping strategies, in order to promote student health. Facilitating students’ acquisition of knowledge
and resources by analyzing these and other variables can contribute to individual well-being and
help university students to cope with present and future academic challenges.
