ABSTRACT

This quantitative descriptive study investigates the effects of stress on the mental health of students enrolled in the BEED program at Northern Zambales College Inc. The study aims to examine the various effects of stress experienced by BEED students and how these stressors influence their mental health outcomes. A survey questionnaire with validated scales was administered to a sample of students to collect data on the causes and effects of stress. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies and standard deviations, to identify patterns in stress experiences and their effects on mental health. Additionally, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted to explore differences in stress effects based on students’ demographic profiles. The study is expected to reveal high levels of stress, which may adversely affect academic performance and overall well-being. Findings will provide insights into the specific effects of stress on BEED students and support the development of targeted interventions and coping strategies to promote mental health and effective stress management. By emphasizing the prevalence and impact of stress within this population, the study contributes to the existing literature on student mental health and provides a foundation for future research on strategies to address the effects of stress and improve psychological support among college students.
