When stress is going beyond our capacity, it affects to our physiological and mental health.A survey was conducted in 2009 by American Psychological Association (APA). The survey revealed that, possible effect of stress in children was 30% and 42% of teens say they get headaches, 49% of teens report difficulty in sleeping, and 39% of teens reported eating too much or too little due to stress. So it is necessary to develop a stress assessment tool so students can easily assess the stress. In this study we develop a stress assessment tool. The modified stress assessment tool was administered to 10 students. The reliability for the tool was calculated by using cronbach’s alpha method. The reliability was found to be 0.906.
