Application of Android-Based Stress Meter as Stress Academic Indicator on College Student with Low Achievement Motivation

Abstract

Academic stress on college students often triggers a low level of achievement motivation for students. Today in the digital age, psychological measurement instruments are needed that can be quickly, effectively and efficiently used by college counselors. Based on this, it is necessary to apply an Android-based stress measurement instrument. The research for this initial study aims to implement in a limited area of Android version of stress measurement instruments with an acceptable level of acceptability criteria. Data were obtained from 30 students purposively using two measuring instruments. Stress identification instruments namely DASS-42 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) with the value of reliability coefficient (α Cronbach) of each variable respectively 0.91, 0.84, 0.90 and Achievement Motivation Scale (revised) with a reliability coefficient of 0.76 (α Cronbach). The results show that the Android-based stress measurement instrument has a moderate level of acceptability. In addition, the results of the hypothesis test showed a correlation between stress levels and achievement motivation in college students. Thus, further coping strategies are needed to reduce stress levels which will be presented in the discussion.

ENSS (Expanded Nursing Stress Assessment) version 1,0: An Android-Based Mobile Application Efficient Stress Assessment in Nurses

“…Several previous studies have shown that the use of stress assessment instruments Android-based can measure levels of depression, anxiety and stress and is good for implementation [19] [33]. Android is a mobile application that is quite popular because of the speed factor, namely the efficiency of the application in providing data according to the user's wishes [34]. It's just that there is a weakness in using web-based Android, namely that its use is very dependent on the availability of a good and stable internet network to access the applications being created [35].…”
