| Abstract | ||
| Aim: This study investigates the impact of psychological distress and academic burnout on life satisfaction among students, aiming to understand how emotional and academic challenges affect overall well-being. Instruments and Methods: Employing a quantitative research design, the study utilized a survey method to collect data from university students selected through a simple random sampling technique. Validated instruments were used to measure psychological distress, academic burnout, and life satisfaction, ensuring reliability and accuracy in assessing these constructs. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to determine the significance of relationships and the extent of influence among variables. Findings: Results indicate that both psychological distress and academic burnout are significantly associated with lower life satisfaction, highlighting the interplay between mental health and academic stressors. Moreover, regression analysis confirms that these factors collectively contribute to students' overall well-being, suggesting that increased emotional and academic strain negatively affects their perceived quality of life. The findings suggest that maintaining emotional stability and effectively managing academic stress are crucial in promoting a positive student experience. Conclusion: The study concludes that psychological and academic challenges do not operate in isolation but rather influence life satisfaction in a multidimensional manner. Understanding these relationships provides valuable insights into the broader implications of mental health and academic engagement on students' overall well-being, emphasizing the need for a holistic perspective in addressing educational and psychological concerns. | ||
