Description
This study evaluates the relative effectiveness of remote versus in-person wellness coaching in a university-based setting. The research focuses on college students enrolled in the Success and Wellness Coaching program at a large urban university. A retrospective chart review was conducted, analyzing data collected from May 2019 to June 2021. Out of 638 participants, 42.5% received in-person coaching, while 57.5% received coaching remotely. Evaluation criteria included program utilization, engagement, self-efficacy, the perception of the coach/client relationship, and satisfaction across various life domains. Analysis revealed no significant differences between in-person and remote coaching in key metrics such as sessions attended, no-show rates, autonomy, competence, perceived connection with the coach, increased confidence, and readiness for behavior change. These findings suggest that remote coaching may be just as effective as in-person coaching for college students, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool in promoting overall wellbeing among university students.
