Abstract

Using the Qualitative method, 25 AIMS students participated, sharing their mental health perceptions, status, and recommendations through Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Demographics show participants aged 18-22, mostly male, single, and Roman Catholic, with a significant representation from maritime programs. Clinical profiles reveal varied family arrangements, active campus involvement, full study loads, and some engagement in drinking and smoking. Mental health is mostly associated with cognition, with concerns including eating habits, sleep, medical issues, anxiety, and depression. Family-related stressors are primary, leading to emotion-focused coping strategies. Physical/social activities, education, and psycho-spiritual practices are suggested for promoting mental health on campus. The findings inform the development of mental health initiatives for the institution, emphasizing holistic well-being. The study findings indicate that mental health, as perceived by these students, predominantly revolves around cognitive aspects. Concerns encompass eating habits, sleep patterns, medical issues, anxiety, and depression. The primary stressors identified are related to family dynamics, leading students to employ emotion-focused coping strategies. To promote mental health on campus, students recommend a multifaceted approach encompassing increased participation in physical and social activities, heightened educational efforts and awareness, and the incorporation of psycho-spiritual practices. These insights serve as a foundation for the development of tailored mental health initiatives within the institution, emphasizing the holistic well-being of AIMS students.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought uncertainties and complexities to both national and global societies, impacting various sectors, including education. This study focuses on the effects of pandemic-related challenges on students' achievement and mental well-being at the Asian Institute of Maritime Students (AIMS). The closure of schools and the rapid shift to online learning during lockdowns disrupted students' achievement and mental health. This research aimed to assess the levels of COVID-19-related anxiety, depression, and stress among AIMS students and their subsequent impact on overall well-being. Using a descriptive-correlation research design, data on anxiety, depression, stress, and well-being were collected from a sample of 369 AIMS students through stratified random sampling. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) measured mental health, while the Well-Being Checklist by Loomans (2018) assessed overall well-being. Results indicate that AIMS students experienced mild stress (M= 17.31) and moderate depression (M= 16.78), with notably severe levels of anxiety (M= 15.67). Their overall well-being ranged from moderate to high, encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions, resulting in an overall well-being score of 6.95 (moderate). Notably, depression exhibited a significant inverse correlation with overall well-being, while anxiety and stress also showed significant relationships when considered separately. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to enhance students' mental resilience. Programs addressing depression were recommended, given its potential long-term negative impact on students' well-being. These insights contribute to the development of a comprehensive mental resiliency program, vital for promoting the holistic welfare of AIMS student.

Abstract

This study explored the relationship between medical and mental health status among Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (AIMS) employees, employing statistical analyses such as Pearson correlation coefficients and t-tests. The results indicated a lack of significant correlation between medical and mental health status, suggesting no strong evidence supporting a relationship. Gender differences in health concerns were evident, with female employees reporting significantly higher levels of mental health concerns compared to their male counterparts. However, no substantial gender-based disparity was found in medical health concerns. Civil status also emerged as a significant factor, with single employees exhibiting notably higher mental health concerns than their married counterparts. Medical history included high blood pressure, stomach pain/ulcer, and nose/throat issues, with some reporting alcohol and smoking history. A minority were currently on medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. The study highlights the need to address mental health, especially among female employees, and implement strategies to reduce stress and enhance well-being in the workplace at AIMS. In light of these findings, the study recommended targeted programs addressing mental health concerns among AIMS employees, emphasizing accessibility to counseling services and collaborative efforts with the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO). Additionally, initiatives promoting digital literacy, fitness programs, and team-building activities were suggested. Recognizing the importance of early intervention, the study encouraged employees to consult with healthcare professionals for appropriate diagnosis and treatment measures for managing depression.
