Exploring Perceived Stress and Anxiety Levels While Traveling Among Undergraduate Students: A Case Study in Vietnam

Abstract


Stress and anxiety are common mental health problems among undergraduate students. This study investigated the level of stress and anxiety among undergraduate students during their travel. The study used a survey method using questionnaires and statistical data analysis. Using a convenient selection method, 308 college students who had traveled in the past year were analyzed. The results of the study showed that undergraduate students had similar levels of stress and anxiety during their travel. There was a positive correlation between students' stress and anxiety during their travel. There was no significant statistical difference in gender or year of study regarding perceived stress and anxiety during travel. College students who frequently traveled to escape pressure purposes felt less stressed about their abilities. Studies in the future can further investigate this by directly researching the context of travel in terms of time, frequency, or with specific goals.
