“…Additionally, students' concern about their performance in their exams, the large number of students in the classrooms, boring lectures, and feeling doubted by professors were all identified as sources of stress [13]. Suicidal ideation and lower psychological well-being are also associated with academic stress [15].…”

In addition to complying with strict academic standards, nursing students must acquire relevant knowledge and skills, and learn how to carry themselves in different and often stressful professional settings. These obligations could severely affect their mental health. The purpose of this study was to examine the mental health status of undergraduate nursing students and related factors. A total of 1368 nursing students from different universities in Spain and Chile were included in this study, which took place over the 2018–2019 academic year. We assessed their levels of stress related to specific learning methodologies and determined their mental health status using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The results revealed that the more advanced the course was, the lower the total GHQ-28 score. The stress generated by different types of training activities had a significant effect on the total GHQ-28 score. These results suggest that nursing education could act as a protective factor against mental health disorders. Although a heavy academic workload could lead to higher levels of stress, overall, it seems that mental health is better in more advanced courses than in initial academic years.

“…Stress and various problems have become part of students' lives as a result of the expectations and pressures imposed on them (Reddy et al, 2018). Currently, stress is understood as a life cycle experienced by everyone regardless of age and stage of development (Banerjee & Chatterjee, 2016). In students, the main cause of stress lies in academic factors.…”

The purpose of this paper is to find out the level of depression, anxiety and stress of students judging by gender and age. The method used is a survey with a quantitative approach. The subjects in the study were 169 students. Data retrieval is done by spreading depression, anxiety, stress scale 42 (DASS 42) questionnaires through online applications. The results in this study are that at the age of 20, many students have depression, anxiety and stress in the normal category and there is also a very heavy category. There was no significant difference between levels of depression, anxiety and stress with age as well as gender. Male and female experience very heavy categories on depression and anxiety.

The growing number of suicide cases in India's top engineering institutions indicates a mental health emergency. Deteriorated mental health status of engineering students has been a major concern for social scientists, policymakers, educationists, and parents. Nevertheless, not much academic research has addressed this issue. The current study aims to explore the anteceding factors associated with mental health crises among engineering students. This study relies on a sequential exploratory mixed‐method design. In the first phase, 16 undergraduate students were interviewed to explore the anteceding factors that deteriorate their mental health status. Based on the qualitative findings, we developed a hypothesized model. In the second phase, this model is tested through a quantitative study (N = 395). Inductive thematic analysis of the qualitative interviews revealed that students' mental health status (stress and guilt‐related symptoms) was associated with (a) centrality of engineering identity, (b) parental pressure, (c) academic stress during the coaching period and college years, (d) upward social comparison, and (e) motivation‐related factors (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and academic amotivation). Based on this finding, a model is developed that connects academic amotivation, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, academic stress, and the mental health status of the students. The quantitative study results indicated that academic amotivation significantly mediates the relationship between academic stress and mental health status. Moreover, male engineering students score significantly higher in mental health status and significantly lower in extrinsic motivation‐identified than female students. The study concludes that academic stress is a key issue in determining amotivation and deteriorated mental health status of engineering undergraduates.
