The researcher's instrument used was an adapted questionnaire on the

academic stress level of students from (Guzon, 2024)

the students’ attitude and behavior scales questionnaire from (Akey, 2006)
https://files.eric.gov/fulltext/ED489760.pdf. Each part contains eight (8),
seven (7), five (5), and nine (9) statements which were assessed through a
Likert scale.
The scale of 5 had the descriptive equivalent of Always, which means
that the item embodied is very high; 4 had the descriptive equivalent of Often,
which means that the item is high; 3 had the descriptive equivalent of
Sometimes, which means that the item is moderate; 2 had the descriptive
equivalent of Rarely, which means that the item is low; 1 had the descriptive
equivalent of Never, which means that the item is very low.
The instruments had undergone validation from three (3) research
experts for the acceptability and approval of this study.
