To explore university students' levels of stress, stressors, and their coping style.
A cross-sectional correlational design with a convenience sample ( = 676) of university students who completed the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) and Coping Strategies Indicator (CSI) was used. . Overall, two-thirds of the participant reported moderate levels of stress. Students with chronic illness, living alone, low CGPA, and having exams today experienced a statistically higher mean level of stress. Students who are living alone used the "avoidance" method more significantly and the "social support" method significantly less compared with students who are living with their families and friends.
This study concurs with others that university students are prone to distress. To our knowledge, this is the first study in the region to explore the students' coping skills. Some of the employed coping and associated factors could be used to lay the groundwork for evidence-based prevention and mitigation.
探讨大学生的压力水平、压力源以及应对方式。
采用横断面相关性设计，对 676 名大学生进行了便利抽样，完成了学生生活压力量表（SSI）和应对策略指标（CSI）。总体而言，三分之二的参与者报告了中度水平的压力。患有慢性病、独居、CGPA 低和今天有考试的学生经历了统计学上更高的平均压力水平。与与家人和朋友住在一起的学生相比，独居的学生更显著地使用了“回避”方法，而显著较少地使用了“社会支持”方法。
这项研究与其他研究一致，表明大学生容易感到困扰。据我们所知，这是该地区首次探索学生应对技巧的研究。一些所采用的应对和相关因素可以用来为基于证据的预防和缓解奠定基础。
