Stress, Study Habits and Academic Performance of Students in Cavite State University-Carmona Campus

This study was conducted to determine the level of stress, the quality of study habits, and the level of academic performance of CvSU Carmona Campus students during the pandemic, and the relationship between these factors. A modified questionnaire was utilized to gather data from one thousand six hundred eighty-six (1,686) students coming from the campus’ different programs. Answers were tabulated and interpreted using mean and standard deviation, average score, chi-square, and ANOVA. Results of the study revealed that most students have a low level of stress in terms of relationship and body, mind, and feelings while a high level of stress in terms of school-related factors. This reveals students have high stress in matters related to school activities and that they are emotionally and physically drained by the demands of the school. Their study habits proved to be good, while their academic performance showed to be very good. Relatively, there is a significant relationship between the level of stress of the participants and their level of academic performance, and between their quality of study habits and level of academic performance. With this, it was suggested that the different departments of the campus, in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs and Services, formulate wellness programs that would lessen the stress of the students in terms of school-related activities such as support groups from the different student organizations and stress management webinars.
