THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF REMOTE LEARNING ON COLLEGE STUDENTS

In the contemporary era, individuals frequently navigate circumstances laden with challenges and uncertainties, culminating in heightened stress levels. This study explores stress among college students, focusing on key stressors like academic pressure, financial constraints, future employment, and relationships. Data from students reveal peak stress levels among those aged 21–23, primarily driven by job-related and financial concerns, with female students reporting significantly higher stress. Post-awareness sessions, statistical analysis showed notable improvements in stress management. These findings align with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), highlighting the importance of stress reduction strategies in enhancing mental health, academic success, and overall well-being.
