Abstract

Majority of students tend to experience academic stress which is emotional distress due to their frustrations of potential academic failure and a high level of stress may affect the student's mental health. This research is aimed to investigate the relationship of academic stress and students' mental health at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. A quantitative research method was used to collect and analyse the data from a sample size of 150 Unimas students, 75 male and female students, respectively. The instruments used are the Perception of Academic Stress Scale (PASS) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). The results show that there is a weak positive correlation between academic stress and mental health. Also, there is a significant gender difference of academic stress and mental health between male and female students. Thus, students should understand academic stress and mental health better, to promote overall health by taking important measures to cope and to live a healthier lifestyle.
