Relación entre los hábitos de estudio y el estrés en estudiantes de universidades privadas de Quito (Ecuador), 2024

Abstract

Currently in Ecuador, stress associated with study habits is a present problem that impacts the well-being and performance of students. This study examines the relationship between learning styles and perceived academic stress in students of private universities in the northern region of Quito, using a quantitative approach through the CHTE and PSS questionnaires. The findings indicate that not all study methods have the same influence on the stress perceived by students; however, a significant correlation was detected with physical state, demonstrating that integral wellbeing is essential in stress management. Also, it was noted that students who experience greater stress from exams show higher levels of stress, compared to those who employ structured methods and manage stress levels more effectively. These findings highlight the importance of implementing interventions that integrate academic strategies with health and wellness projects, providing a comprehensive approach to stress management.
