Sažetak

Promoting well-organized extracurricular sports clubs in universities is essential in today’s educational landscape, as these activities support students’ overall development by improving physical health, personal skills, and athletic performance. This study aims to develop a measurement scale to assess the mental health status and satisfaction levels of students engaged in extracurricular sports clubs at the University of Da Nang, Vietnam. To achieve this aim, the study employed a combination of methods, including document synthesis, expert survey, and statistical analysis that is specific to the field of physical education and sports. The research involved 2,913 second-year students from various member institutions of the University of Da Nang, along with 12 experts and lecturers specializing in physical education. The study successfully identified seven indicators for assessing mental health and fifteen indicators for evaluating student satisfaction. Findings reveal that both the mental health and satisfaction of participating students were at a moderate level.
