Abstract :This study aims to identify university students\\\' health and personal-social problems, examine their levels of basic needs satisfaction, and propose applicable solutions within the framework of the social work discipline. A quantitative research design based on descriptive and relational survey models was employed. Data were collected from 725 students enrolled in public and private universities in Turkey. The survey consisted of demographic information, the Study on Determining Health Problems of University Students, the Questionnaire for Determining the Personal-Social Problems of University Students, and the Basic Needs Satisfaction Scale of College Students. The findings indicate that students generally experience low to moderate levels of health problems, whereas personal and social problems are more prevalent compared to health issues. It was also determined that most students\\\' basic needs were adequately met. Additionally, sociodemographic factors, experiences, attitudes, and psychosocial conditions were found to influence these problems and levels of needs satisfaction. A positive relationship was observed between health and personal-social problems, whereas a negative relationship was found between basic needs satisfaction and these issues. In conclusion, to reduce university students\\\' health and personal-social problems and enhance their basic needs satisfaction, psychosocial support mechanisms should be strengthened, and comprehensive policies involving housing and financial assistance should be developed. In this regard, the social work discipline plays a crucial role in improving student well-being through preventive and intervention-based approaches.
