Análisis de las estrategias de afrontamiento ante el estrés académico en estudiantes de primero y segundo de bachillerato de la unidad educativa particular “San Francisco de Sales” de la ciudad de Cuenca durante el periodo marzo - julio 2024.

Abstract

Academic stress is a reality that affects high school students, potentially negatively impacting their emotional well-being and school performance. This research aimed to analyze the coping strategies for academic stress in first and second-year high school students at Unidad Educativa Particular San Francisco de Sales in Cuenca during the period of March-July 2024. The results revealed that the main sources of academic stress are teacher evaluations (18%), limited time to complete work (16%), and task overload (14%). Additionally, students tend to use coping strategies that may not be the most effective in the long term, such as excessive worrying. These findings highlight the need to implement programs that promote healthier and more effective coping strategies.
