Abstract

Recent trends in educational research underscore the significance of cultivating mental flow to enhance well-being, especially for health-vulnerable individuals. Scholars have delved into the nuances of creating conducive learning environments that cater to the unique needs of students facing health vulnerabilities. Adopting a systematic review approach, this chapter synthesizes findings from diverse studies published over the past decade. The examination of empirical research, intervention strategies, and case studies aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ways in which mental flow can be nurtured to support the well-being of health-vulnerable students in educational settings. The synthesis of literature highlights the positive impact of tailored learning experiences on the mental flow and overall well-being of health-vulnerable students. From inclusive teaching practices to adaptive curriculum design, the findings emphasize the importance of creating environments that prioritize the unique needs of these individuals.
