Introduction:
Many students feel overwhelmed by their workload and the pressure that college places on them. While some have effective stress management resources and can openly discuss their stress with professors, it’s still a challenge to cope. Regular engagement in stress-relief activities is essential for maintaining well-being amidst these pressures. Balancing academic demands with self-care is crucial for managing stress effectively.
Objective:
To Understand the underline issue of Stress Management
Literature Review:
The article reviews stress in school-aged children, highlighting the gap in research compared to adults. It identifies sources of stress from family and school environments, discusses coping strategies, and emphasizes the need for effective interventions to support students’ mental health.
The study explores the relationship between stress, weight-related health risk behaviours, and weight status among community college students, finding that higher stress is linked to unhealthy behaviours like meal skipping and smoking, with a notable prevalence of overweight/obesity. The authors suggest that targeted interventions addressing stress and promoting healthier behaviours are essential for this vulnerable population.
