Elements of stress relieving strategies amongst engineering students

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stress relieving strategies (SRS) are quite significant to get rid of stress in engineering students. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine the SRS factors in the engineering universities in Punjab state of India. This effort also aims to check the determinants of SRS. METHODS: The data is collected through a questionnaire survey conducted on engineering students of two different universities. The collected data out of 400 surveys is subjected to factor analysis and Anova. RESULTS: The factor analysis exposed various factors that influence the SRS. The study has projected the effects of SRS on gender, age, engineering streams, nature of universities. CONCLUSIONS: It is found that the SRS in students is partially influenced by engineering streams and gender of the engineering students.
