Abstract

The current study was carried out to explore the role of academic stress
with health complaints among students experiencing online education and
find out the demographic difference in these variables. In the present study
along with the demographic sheet three instruments, Academic Stress
Scale (Bedewy & Gabriel, 2015), and the Chinese Health Questioner
(Fong, Yip, & Ho, 2021), were administered to a sample of 200 students
experiencing online education. Results of the study revealed that academic
stress has a significant negative association with the health complaints of
the student. The results also showed that gender has significant differences
in academic stress and health complaints whereas age has a non-significant
negative relationship with academic stress and a significant positive
relationship with health complaints. The result also demonstrated
significant academic discipline and mode of instruction-based differences
in academic stress and health complaints among students.
