“…According to Brealey [ 92 ], stress is contagious, and is a physical and emotional response to pressure. Shahrom [ 93 ] described stress as a feeling of discomfort in oneself that influences the mind, however, according to Fadzillah-Kamsah, stress covers the following feelings: burden, worry, strain, conflict, pressure, feeling, fatigue, helplessness, panic, and depression [ 94 ]. Sahari et al [ 94 ] comprehensively reviewed stress, and Łopuszańska and Makara-Studzińska [ 21 ] provided an overview of air pollution-associated depression.…”

“…Turkington [ 96 ] listed financial condition, family problems, social life, home problems, illness, time mismanagement, and job/career problems as primary factors affecting behavior. Shahroom [ 93 ] suggested that spiritual, social, physical, and biophysical factors affect behavior, while the most recent research revealed that environmental conditions (including air pollution and temperature) are primary stressors, as indicated by a number of researchers [ 46 , 55 – 57 , 91 , 94 , 97 – 98 ]. Torres and Casey [ 48 ] identified that mental health, affected by climatic changes or air pollution, is one of the main reasons for migration and disruption of social ties.…”

Air pollution causes severe physical and psychological health complications. Considering China’s continuously-deteriorating air quality, this study aimed to assess the self-reported effects of air pollution on the behavior and physical health of the students of 13 densely populated cities, and their awareness, practices, and perception of air pollution and its associated public health risks. A detailed, closed-ended questionnaire was administered to 2100 students from 54 universities and schools across China. The questionnaire, which had 24 questions, was categorized into four sections. The first two sections were focused on air pollution-associated behavior and psychology, and physical effects; while the final two sections focused on the subjects’ awareness and perceptions, and practices and concerns about air pollution. The respondents reported that long-term exposure to air pollution had significantly affected their psychology and behavior, as well as their physical health. The respondents were aware of the different adverse impacts of air pollution (respiratory infections, allergies, and cardiovascular problems), and hence had adopted different preventive measures, such as the use of respiratory masks and glasses or goggles, regularly drinking water, and consuming rich foods. It was concluded that air pollution and haze had negative physical and psychological effects on the respondents, which led to severe changes in behavior. Proper management, future planning, and implementing strict environmental laws are suggested before this problem worsens and becomes life-threatening.

“…Students were also asked whether they worked or not. According to Sahari et al, 31 working and studying at the same time could be a source of distress and influence the mental status of participants, resulting in a higher use of the Internet for mental health information. However, in this sample, no differences were found in the use of the Internet for mental health among full-time and part-time workers and unemployed students.…”

“…Finally, this research sought to explore the use of the Internet for mental health support related to medical consultations, in line with the growing interest in understanding the effect that online information seeking has on patients’ experiences, empowerment and interactions with mental health care providers. 31 Results showed that 13.9 percent of students stated reviewing information for mental health on the Internet instead of going to a doctor. Among the three main disadvantages students perceive in the use of the Internet for mental health information and support seeking, 45.8 percent of students mentioned the distrust in the information in comparison with medical advice and 71.4 percent, the fact that the Internet provides unreliable information.…”

The Internet is a growing source of information for health in general, with university student being online almost daily. Evaluating their use of the Internet for mental health information and support can help understanding if online tools and websites should be used for mental health promotion and, to some extent, care. A survey was conducted with more than 600 students of Law, Nursing and Computer Science of the University of Cadiz in Spain to determine their general use of the Internet and their perceptions and trust in using this medium for mental health information. Data were collected using a 25-item-questionnaire and findings indicated that students had a strong distrust in online mental health information, notwithstanding their daily use of the Internet. The frequency and methods of their research on the Internet correlated with their health status, their medical consultations and with certain socio-demographic characteristics.

“…Prokrastinasi terjadi karena kemampuan pengelolaan waktu dan prioritas yang kurang bijaksana. Mahasiswa yang berkuliah sambil aktif berorganisasi atau bekerja memiliki beban kerja dan tingkat stres yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan mahasiswa pada umumnya (Amiruddin, 2017;Sahari, Yaman, & Awang-Shuib, 2012). Stres tinggi pada mahasiswa akan memengaruhi PWB dan relasi interpersonal (Ofori, Addai, Avor, & Quaye, 2018;Suleman dkk., 2018;Yikealo, Tareke, & Karvinen, 2018).…”

Kepribadian tangguh yang terdiri dari komitmen, kontrol, dan terbuka terhadap tantangan dibutuhkan untuk menghadapi masalah dengan efektif, sehingga dapat memberi manfaat positif dalam keikutsertaan berorganisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan PWB mahasiswa setelah mengikuti pelatihan ketangguhan dan mengeksplorasi keterkaitan antara ketangguhan dan PWB. Partisipan ialah 20 mahasiswa (18-22 tahun) yang terlibat sebagai pengurus UKM. Analisis data kuantitatif dilakukan menggunakan analisis non-parametrik Wilcoxon dan Spearman. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa terdapat peningkatan skor PWB pada pengurus UKM setelah mengikuti pelatihan ketangguhan, dan terdapat korelasi positif antara ketangguhan dan PWB.
