Likewise, students in post-secondary are often expected to balance social, financial, personal and professional responsibilities, while maintaining a strong academic performance.[1][2] As a result, students in post-secondary often experience an increase in their overall stress level, compounded by a decreased perception of their own quality of life.[3] With stress being a common aspect of students’ academic experiences, the correlation between stress and compromised quality of life has become an area of increasing concern in post-secondary.[11] In recent studies, stress has been shown to contribute to the formation of maladaptive coping strategies in post-secondary students, which can subsequently increase one's risk for developing adverse health complications throughout college or university, including depression.[11] Additionally, factors such as physical and mental exhaustion, along with decreased sleep performance as a result of stress at university or college can be a major detriment to a student's perceived life satisfaction.[11]
