Little is known about the association between emotion regulation strategies and perceived stress in college students, and in particular, the strategies used by international students. The present research examined if differences exist in the use of emotion regulation strategies between Irish college students and Chinese international college…

Supervising students in healthcare settings is complex and can be stressful for clinical educators. However, it is unclear how to design student placements without clinical educator stress. Using complexity theory as a lens, fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) was used to explore factors associated with no increased stress for…

Objectives: To identify and compare the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among and between students and faculty/staff; and to determine and contrast the coping mechanisms utilized and barriers to mental health care perceived within and between these two populations. Participants: A total of 448 students and faculty/staff from a…

When the pandemic forced college instruction online, most faculty focused on converting their courses to a new format, but increasingly stressed students began to turn to faculty for both personal and academic support. Faculty who trained as subject matter experts found themselves experiencing the symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue,…

Teacher dashboards provide insights on students' progress through visualizations and scores derived from data generated during teaching and learning activities (e.g., response times and task correctness) to improve teaching. Despite the potential usefulness of enhancing teacher dashboards, and the respective teaching practices, with rich…

University students are at risk of experiencing mental health problems during the transition from home to university. This transition can also adversely affect their diet quality. This review aims to examine bidirectional associations from observational studies regarding the influence of diet quality on the mental health of university students,…

Many engineering courses rely on in-person lectures and textbooks for content delivery, with homework sets and exams for evaluating and reinforcing student progress. Yet some research studies have shown that exams--high-pressure, time-limited assessments--are detrimental to the learning process and unnecessarily increase students' stress. We…

This study engages in a rigorous process to develop an instrument, College Students' Financial Stress (CSFS). This instrument aims to assess college students' generalized financial stress, or financial unsafety, to provide administrators with a tool to gauge students' mental well-being and financial experiences in higher education. Accurately…

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an abrupt change from in-person to online teaching in higher education, resulting in increased use of information and communication technology (ICT) and students' stress and uncertainty. Integrating theories of human motivation, stress, and humane work design, we investigated whether different types of action…

The COVID-19 pandemic required academic institutions to quickly transition to online learning and make changes to assessment procedures. This study examines how a school of pharmacy creatively approached the challenge of online assessment while maintaining the standards necessary to prepare practice-ready student pharmacists. To conduct…

Increasing pressure and demands on students in higher education to perform and succeed has contributed to unprecedented levels of student stress, leading to poor academic performance and mental health. Universities are positioned to take proactive measures by creating environments that support student learning and minimise anxiety, such as…

We analyzed 192 first-year international college students in the Mid-Atlantic region to examine the change in international students' acculturative stress, adjustment, and collegiate experiences during their first year of enrollment in U.S. higher education. We found that male students, students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, and…

The purpose of this current study was twofold: first, to identify the potential ecological risk and resiliency factors that contribute to emerging adult college students' generalized anxiety, as well as physiological and depressive responses to stress during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; second, to compare domestic and international college…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students were required to be highly adaptive to a variety of changes in educational approaches and methods of instruction. Since the global pandemic has spread, mental health disorders in the form of high academic stress levels have become a recurring manifestation among students and as such they require appropriate…

Mental health is a significant concern among young people, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, mental health problems can significantly reduce student performance in school, including both engagement and achievement. Both mental health problems and reduced student performance often arise due to "peer victimization," which…
