Stress is one of the top five threats to academic performance among college students globally. Consequently, students decrease in academic performance, learning ability and retention. However, no study has assessed the practice of stress management behaviors and associated factors among college students in Ethiopia. So the purpose of this study was to assess the practice of stress management behaviors and associated factors among undergraduate university students at Mekelle University, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2019.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 633 study participants at Mekelle University from November 2018 to July 2019. Bivariate analysis was used to determine the association between the independent variable and the outcome variable at p < 0.25 significance level. Significant variables were selected for multivariate analysis.
The study found that the practice of stress management behaviors among undergraduate Mekelle university students was found as 367(58%) poor and 266(42%) good. The study also indicated that sex, year of education, monthly income, self-efficacy status, and social support status were significant predictors of stress management behaviors of college students.
This study found that the majority of the students had poor practice of stress management behaviors.
压力是全球大学生学业表现的五大威胁之一。因此，学生的学业成绩、学习能力和记忆力都会下降。然而，尚未有研究评估过埃塞俄比亚大学生管理压力行为的实践情况及其相关因素。因此，本研究旨在评估 2019 年在埃塞俄比亚提格雷地区的默克莱大学本科生管理压力行为的实践情况及其相关因素。
本横断面研究于 2018 年 11 月至 2019 年 7 月在默克莱大学对 633 名研究对象进行。采用双变量分析确定自变量与结局变量之间的关联，在 0.25 显著性水平下具有统计学意义。选择有统计学意义的变量进行多变量分析。
研究发现，默克莱大学本科生管理压力行为的实践情况较差的有 367 人（58%），较好的有 266 人（42%）。研究还表明，性别、教育年限、月收入、自我效能感状况和社会支持状况是大学生管理压力行为的显著预测因素。
本研究发现，大多数学生管理压力行为的实践情况较差。
