Abstract

High academic burden is often the main trigger of stress among college students, which has a negative impact on their mental health, motivation to learn, and sleep quality. This study aims to examine the academic burden, influences, and strategies experienced by college students. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and literature studies from various relevant sources. The results of the analysis show that students who face excessive academic burden tend to experience significant stress, which can interfere with their psychological well-being and academic performance. Social support, especially from family and friends, has been shown to be more effective in helping students manage academic tasks. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to pay attention to the academic burden given and provide adequate support services to improve students' well-being and academic success.

Abstract

High-achieving students are often seen as strong and successful figures, but in reality, many of them experience hidden psychological stress. This study is important to reveal the silent side behind academic achievement that is often overlooked, especially related to mental health. This study aims to understand the subjective experiences of high-achieving students in dealing with academic and social pressure and how they respond to mental health conditions that arise as a result. The method used in this study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 active students at the State Islamic University who had a GPA ≥ 3.5 and had achieved academic or non-academic achievements. Data analysis was carried out using a thematic approach based on the Braun and Clarke procedure. The results of the study showed five main themes: achievement pressure and academic anxiety, social loneliness and alienation, coping strategies for stress, the need for social support, and the role of perfectionism in influencing mental conditions. High-achieving students were shown to experience high stress but had varying coping mechanisms. This study aims to emphasize the importance of the role of educational institutions in providing a safe and inclusive psychological support space for high-achieving students so that achievement can go hand in hand with mental well-being.
