Keywords:
Counseling guidance, Mental health, Students, Academic stressAbstract
Academic stress is a psychological condition commonly experienced by students due to the pressure of assignments, exams and demands for high achievement. This research aims to describe the symptoms of academic stress and counseling strategies for overcoming them. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was obtained through in-depth interviews with seven students who experienced stress and had participated in counseling services. The results show that students experience study pressure, sadness due to academic failure, and discouragement. Counseling services are felt to be very helpful in managing stress through individual counseling, group counseling, and stress management training. The strategies implemented are able to increase self-awareness, strengthen positive thinking patterns, and build students' mental resilience. This research emphasizes the importance of the role of empathetic and sustainable counseling as a preventive and curative effort in maintaining student mental health, as well as encouraging improvements in the quality of counseling services in higher education.
