 RATIONALE

Stress is a perception of emotional or physical tension. There are number of

incidents in a person’s life that leads to negative emotions like anger, frustration and
nervousness that further develops stress in an individual. Stress is the body’s reaction
to challenge or demand. It can be positive at times; however prolonged stress can
lead to severe health conditions. Stress levels can differ on the basis of how one
reciprocates to a certain situation. Some people just do not care and do not get
anxious; they perceive stress as trivial knock and move on in life on daily basis.
Others actually worry themselves more than required and affect their health.
 Academic pressure has increased over the past few years, there are
examinations, assignments and many other activities that a student has to shuffle
through. Not only the design but teachers and parents also burden the students with
a lot of pressure of getting good grades.

These expectations make the students work relentlessly and end up in creating
more stress. With academics, the parents and the institutions want the students to
participate in extracurricular activities too, the current expectations from the
students is to be an all-rounder.
 Lack of proper channels for counseling leads to more confusion and the students
are unable to choose a career for themselves even after rigorous studying patterns.
This demanding attitude from parents and teachers leave the students bewildered
and builds up stress.
It is essential to identify the level of the stress among BEED Students of
Camarines Norte State College so that it can be addressed meticulously and
efficient interventions can be outlined. Stress is always seen as subjective process
and encompasses individual’s personal analysis and counter to a threatening event.
Stress can result in depression, anxiety and many other hazardous conditions. The
rise in the number of workshops being conducted for Stress Management, various
articles being published, research reports etc. is an implication of the escalation of
stress related cases in the past few decades.
 Prolonged stress can lead to physical and emotional disorders, further resulting
in anxiety and depression. It is important to have a channel to relieve the anxiety.
Though stress is often considered bad, but there is always the other side of the coin.
The right kind of stress helps in sharpening the mind and reflexes, thus helping in
boosting memory. Mild stress is always essential for effective and efficient working.
It can help one to meet daily challenges and can motivate students to reach their
goals.

 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

• Stress Level among College Students

Stream wise difference in stress does exist in students. It is important to deal with stress

at personal, social and institutional level. Remedies such as feedback, yoga, life skills

training, mindfulness, meditation and psychotherapy have been found useful to deal with

stress. To identify the main reason of stress is the key to deal with it. Professionals can

develop tailor made strategies to deal with stress. The integrated well-being of the students

is important not only for the individual but for the institute as well (Reddy et al., 2018).
 The educational system also plays an enabling role subsequently leading to
increased stress levels experienced by students. Some of the sources include
overcrowded lecture halls, semester grading system, inadequate resources and
facilities vastness of syllabus, long hours and expectations of rote. Parents and
institutions relentlessly instill the fear of failure which affects their self-esteem
and confidence. Increased expectations as one of the factors responsible for
increased stress levels learning (Deb et al., 2015).
 Mental results include: anxiety, despondency, burnout, insomnia, dissatisfaction.
Behavior related effects caused by stress can result in meager efficiency in task at
hand, overflow of information process, usage of alcohol and other addiction, etc.
Excessive usage of these resources may come up with different issues; may affect
one’s health. We cannot skip the fact that an excessive high or excessive low level of
stress characterizes our performance in several activities. If there's no strategy
adapted so as to scale back stress, its results can increment resulting in real
dysfunctionality in the daily chores through tension and struggle (Subramani &
Kadhiravan, 2017).
• Academic Performance of College Students while dealing with Stress

Stress definitely impacts the academic performance in a negative way though

no significant difference was found as per the gender. The difference was evident

between junior and senior students. Stress, for sure, affects the ability to study

efficiently and managing the time. Studying regularly is important, this helps reduce

the academic pressure and helps them fulfill their goals (Khan & Kausar, 2013).
 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

• This study is anchored on the theory of Hans Selye (1956) which he describes stress

as a physiological response pattern and was captured within his general adaptation

syndrome (GAS) model. Selye introduced the idea that the stress response could

result in positive or negative outcomes based on cognitive interpretations of the

physical symptoms or physiological experience.

 This study is supported by the proposition of Lazarus (2000) who mentioned
that Coping with stress can be a trait or state-based process — an inherent
quality or ability or a learned skill or capacity How people appraise a stressor
determines how they will attempt to cope with the stressor.
