Assessment of students’ academic stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to investigate the impact of factors such as psychological overload, fear of infection, social relationships, and isolation on the level of academic stress among students at the University of Vlora “Ismail Qemali,” Albania, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire with 45 variables divided into three sections was used as a data collection instrument by the researchers. A total of 192 students, selected through a simple random sampling method as a probability sample, responded to the survey instrument. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS for Windows XP version 16.0) was used to perform data observation and statistical analysis of the factors influencing the increase in students’ academic stress levels. Based on the correlation coefficient values ranging from (.462 ~ .577), the study indicates a significant statistical relationship between the students’ stress level and the factors identified by the factorial analysis. The results of the Adjusted R Square, where R2= .359 explains 36% of the variance in the dependent variable, demonstrate that the multivariable linear regression model is successful.
