Proposed Research Title Stress and Mental Frustrations among

students

Kind of Research Quantitative research

Research Design Correlational, descriptive, Non-experimental

Empirical Basis This study examined perceptions of academic

stress among students, and student perceptions
of students' academic stress. (Misra, McKean,
West, & Russo, 2000). Students are at risk for
increased levels of stress and burnout, and
those enrolled in healthcare degree programs
are more likely to experience higher levels due to
balancing demanding roles. Our purpose was to
assess sources of stress, burnout, and/or
frustration of students in different academic
standings (Mauzy, Bowman, Mazerolle, & Fister,
2015). Moreover, there are many feelings of
frustration that had observed. Enduring
depressed mood, crying spells, loss of interest
or pleasure, decrease in aptitude level, feeling
fatigue and feeling of anger or vengeance are
dominant feelings among students during
frustration. Furthermore, as a reaction to
frustration mostly students face difficulty in
making right decisions. Departing from friends
and family has also examined in students as a
reaction to frustration (Gulzar, Yahya, Nauman,
Mir, & Mujahid, 2012). Stress is an unavoidable
phenomenon in all aspects of human life. Stress
is an emotional imbalance which may occur due
to various reasons such as tests, papers and
projects, competitive nature within one’s chosen
field, financial worries about school and future
employment prospects. Stress can be negative
or positive to an individual, depending on the
strength and persistence of the stress, the
individual’s personality, cognitive appraisal of
the stress, and social support. Stress affects
students academically, socially, physically and
emotionally (Rana, Gulati, & Wadhwa, 2019).
