CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter consists of the overview of the study, its difficulty, objective,
scope and limitation and the significance of the study. This chapter also aims to point
out the main result of the research.
Introduction
This study explores how academics affect the mental health of senior
high school students in PWU CDCEC BATAAN. There are so many reasons
and factors why students face different problems, including academic
problems. Academics are one of the factors; they have a significant role in
shaping students overall well-being, particularly if they're struggling
academically, overloaded with schoolwork, have high expectations, or have
low grades and other extracurricular activities. When students experience
academic struggles, such as low grades or an excessive workload, they may
feel stress and pressure that can lead to anxiety and depression. Furthermore,
academic success can be a source of strength for students in terms of
academics;
it can help them to boost their self-confidence and to know the strategies that
are compatible with their studies.
Philippine Women’s University CDCEC Bataan
This study aims to better understand how academics affect the
mental health of senior high school students in PWU CDCEC BATAAN. By
identifying these effects, educators, administrators, and policymakers can
implement strategies to create a more supportive academic environment that
promotes both academic success and healthy mental well-being. The
significance of this research is to provide information that can be an opportunity
for educators, school administrators, and even the students to have an idea of
what strategies they'll use to succeed without sacrificing their mental health.
Background of the study
Senior high school students often experience academic struggles
due to heavy workloads, high expectations, and the need to prepare for their
higher education and future careers for personal growth. At PWU CDCEC
BATAAN, students may face additional problems, such as balancing academic
demands, extracurricular activities, personal responsibilities, and social
pressures. Exposure to academic stress can have a negative impact on
students' mental health, leading to anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, and
poor academic performance.
Previous studies, such as those by Kashif et al. (2024), revealed that
academic stress is a significant predictor of mental health issues, indicating a
Philippine Women’s University CDCEC Bataan
direct impact on students' psychological well-being. Similarly, Xiuhan Li (2025)
points out that university students often face the challenge of balancing
multiple tasks and making complex decisions about priorities, which can cause
pressure and some mental health issues. These findings explain that many of
the students are experiencing academic pressure and stress that is causing
uncertainty about their future that can lead to self-doubt and mental health
problems.
This study is important to investigate because understanding
students well-being can improve their academic performance that can lead to
creating tactics that help students preserve their mental health and foster a
healthy learning environment that can help them to achieve academic success
that can boost their self-esteem and motivate them for higher education.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to examine how academic affect the mental health of senior
high school students at PWU CDCEC BATAAN. Under this are the questions
that the researcher aims to answer:
Philippine Women’s University CDCEC Bataan
1. What are the common stressors related to academics that contribute to
anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns among senior high school
students?
2. How do students cope with academic stress, and what support systems are
available to help them manage their mental health?
3. Are there significant differences in mental health outcomes among senior
high school students across different academic tracks (e.g., STEM, ABM,
HUMSS) in PWU CDCEC Bataan?
4. What are the common academic challenges faced by senior high school
students at PWU CDCEC Bataan?
5. What steps can schools take to help students manage their academic
responsibilities while protecting their mental health?
Significance of the Study
The result of the study will be of great benefit to the following:
Philippine Women’s University CDCEC Bataan
Senior high school students, our study can help students to better recognize the
academic factors affecting their mental health, and by identifying these factors,
students can develop or improve their self-awareness and coping strategies.
Additionally, our study may contribute to the enhancement of school policies and can
develop healthier coping strategies and seek appropriate results when needed.
Teachers, our study will offer insights into how academic demands contribute to
students stress, allowing educators to adjust their teaching methods,
workloads, and expectations. This can help create a more supportive learning
environment that fosters both academic success and emotional well-being.
School Administration, our study will provide valuable findings that can help
school administrators develop or improve policies and programs that promote
student mental well-being. By doing so, the school can foster a more balanced
and supportive academic environment.
Parents, have benefits to our study because they'll gain a better understanding
of the struggles their children are facing in school. This can help them to
provide emotional and academic support.
For future researchers, our study can serve as a reference for future research
about the connection of academics and the students mental health.
