Abstract

This report, titled "Balancing Mental Health Among Students at UiTM Pasir Gudang," explores the mental health challenges faced by students and evaluates the effectiveness of various coping strategies and institutional support systems. The study's primary objectives are to identify prevalent mental health issues, understand how students manage these issues, and assess the impact of a supportive campus environment on student well-being. Utilizing a structured survey, data were collected from students across different faculties and semesters. The analysis highlights key factors influencing mental health, such as academic pressure, feelings of anxiety, and the role of campus counseling services. Findings indicate that while a significant proportion of students experience stress and anxiety, there is a neutral perception of academic pressure's impact on mental health. The report concludes that enhancing mental health awareness and integrating supportive measures into the curriculum are essential. Additionally, fostering an open environment and providing accessible counseling services are recommended to help students navigate their academic and personal lives effectively.
