REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Local Study
Salvacion (2011), studied the stress profile of students in
college of dentistry of the university of the Philippines manila. The study involves 149 dentistry student-respondents. Academic stressors like examinations and grades, fully loaded days, difficulty in completing clinical requirements, and fear of getting delayed topped the identified stressors. Academic factors were stressful in the first 3 year levels.
Stress is a word that is regularly used today but has become
progressively more difficult to describe. Stress usually describes a negative idea that can have an effect on one’s mental and physical well-being. Evidently, stress can have an effect on students’ academic performance (Lauro S. Aspiras, and Emma D. Aspiras 2014).
Stress is something that causes anxiety or depression, it
comes from schooling, church, or event at home. It is the reaction of one’s body and mind to something that causes a change in the balance. Although senior high school students may encounter common stressors in secondary level, perception of what are considered as academic stressor may differ (Camille Gay A. Desamparado, et.al January 2019).
Some facts that we have been search, that there were
seven Filipinos reportedly commits suicide every day. And the reason for this suicide is because of depression. Why the suicide rate in the Philippines is lower compared to other countries, the figures steadily risen over a period of 20 years from 1992 to 2012 (Butuyan, 2016). Students are the most essential elements in any educational institution. They are considered as the core of learning process. Their performance places an important role in determining an academic achievement which are associated to what people value. If students achieve their academic standards and successfully attained high degree of educational, the probability of being employed in the future is high (Arcelie G. Santos 2018).
Local Literature
According to the DepEd K-12 curriculum (2013), Practical
Research 2 is an applied subject for grade 12 students on every track. This course develops critical thinking and problem- solving skills through quantitative research.
It depends on how we perceived about stress. It depends how
we react against it, it can affect us negatively as well and if we always react and respond negatively against stress it also could affect our health and happiness (Robinson 2010).
Intellectual ability applies to both academic and works
setting. High intellectual activity in an academic setting is marked by s long attention span and leadership skills in award setting (Gabriel 2010).
According to Rosalie Leal (2012). The present generation of
graduating college students belongs to the most time pressed generation in history. With this, the need for research concerning stress experience is deemed necessary. In this study, stress experiences among graduating students of Isabela State University San Mateo campus has been evaluated and analyzed.
Every individual experiences stress occasionally. Students
in general experience stress in situation such as going to college, appearing into exams, dealing with their friends or peers, when their friends were not feeling well, divorce or separation of their parents, death of a relative, etc. (Shahmohanmadi, 2012).
Foreign Study
Linda G Castillo (2009) stated this study compared academic
stressors and reactions to stressors between American and international students using Gadzella's Life Stress Inventory. Five categories of academic stressors (i.e., frustrations, conflicts, pressures, changes, and self-imposed) and four categories describing reactions to these stressors (i.e., physiological, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive) were examined. The sample consisted of 392 international and American students from 2 Midwestern universities. American students reported higher self-imposed stressors and greater behavioral reactions to stressors than international students. Respondent's status (American or international) and interaction of status and stressors emerged as the 2 strongest predictors of their behavioral, emotional, physiological, and cognitive reaction to stressors. Five stressors attained statistical significance in the regression model. The findings emphasize the need to recognize cultural differences in stress management.
Auerbach and Grambling (2014) concluded that it is important
to note that stress can have both positive and negative effects on people. It means that stress may be a normal, adaptive reaction to threat. Its role is to signal and prepare individuals to take defensive action. Take for instance, fear of things that present realistic threats motivate individuals to deal with them or avoid them. Academic stress was found to be higher in younger students than older students. There was a non-significant difference on PSS scores among students when stress was measured at the beginning and at the end of the semester Mussarat Jabeen Khan (2018).
Pormal & Kumar (2014) implies that in a higher stress level
due to the high expectation of their parents of the students, and male perceived higher academic stress from conflict whereas women displayed greater behavioral and psychological reaction to stress.
According to Shirley Fisher (2014) she provides an overview
of the effects of stress on performance, daily efficiency and health, and reports the results of research into stress in academic environments (for both staff and students). She explores the origins and nature of academic stress, personal vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms and proposes ways in which individuals can be helped, emphasizing how working conditions and practices must be changed in order to reduce stress in academic life.
According to Kai-wen (2010) students at this level may
sometimes experience incompatibility of their mental development with their physical changes or with social environment and thus suffer from problems arising from inadequate adaptation.
Foreign Literature
According to Jessica Sharp and Stephen Theiler (2018), a
review of literature from the past 30 years establishes psychological distress as both a longstanding and current issue affecting university students worldwide. Poorer academic outcomes and problematic health behaviors are linked to students’ distress, and these wider implications also highlight the need for appropriate policies and services to support students during what is clearly a challenging time.
A publication in stress by the university of New York
retrieve March 14 2016 buttresses the notion that, extreme levels of stress can hinder study effectiveness and lead to poor academic performance and attrition. It goes on to affirm that, students who experience stressful life events also reported worse health outcomes and reduce quality of life.
According to Mayo Clinic Stuff, (2012), anything that
possess a challenge or threat to well-being undermines about mental and physical health. Earning high grades is a source of stress that affects them to succeed in making good impressions to their parents, classmates and other significant persons.
Stress is normal in one’s life, everybody experience stress.
It may come from different situations that causes one feel frustrated, angry or anxious. Stress could be positive as well as negative. When an individual is doing his or her work properly and systematically then it is because of positive stress or eustress but when one loses rhythm for same work, it is negative stress or distress. So, stress is good in one way and bad in other way (Khan, Lanin, and Ahmad 2015).
Stress is necessary to challenge students to learned,
approaches are needed that reduce the negative aspects of stress which lessen students learning and performance. The key to reducing distress is providing students with a feeling of control over the education, information about what to expect, and feedback regarding what can be done to improve their performance, stress is inevitable and unfortunately it produces headache, neck crick and causes many health problems that include depression, anxiety, heart disease and stroke (Clark 2013).
