Abstract

This research works out several major sources of academic stress and its negative effects on sophomores’ well-beings at universities. From the data, it can be concluded that sophomores endure a variety of stressors fluctuating from educational demands. The research also examines some health impairments trigged by academic stress and notices that mental damages have a more considerable influence on students’ well-being than physical one. This paper is conducted with the aim at helping students recognize their situation so that they can develop the most effective and suitable strategies to cope with academic stress in their academic environment. This is a cross-sectional study on graduate students at five universities in Vietnam in November 2021. We administered a self-reported questionnaire to 458 students on their effects of academic stress on sophomore’s well-beings. Descriptive analyses were used to summarize the results. It should be noticed that the results drawn from data just reflects to some extent sophomore’s academic stress issue and that conducting only students seems to a limitation. Despite these limitations, this research paper also indicates some most common academic stressors and its negative influences on students as well as proves the rationale of the previous research.
