A total of 550 students were invited to take part in the study. After removing questionnaires with substantial missing data or incomplete responses, 502 valid questionnaires were retained, resulting in a response rate of 91.3 %, male 476 (94.8 %), female 26(5.2 %).

The study asked 550 students to participate by filling out the questionnaires. The study did not use some of the questionnaires because the participants didn’t fill out enough data or did not complete the questionaries fully. Out of the 550 students, 502 of the student’s data was used, meaning that 91.3% of participants filled out the questionnaires enough to be used in the study. 476 of the students were male, and 26 were female.

While, there is limited understanding of the influencing mechanism of sleep quality and school belonging to the connection between academic stress and depressive symptoms. Gaining insight into these pathways is essential for creating effective interventions and support systems to address these negative impacts. By exploring these connections, the research aims to offer a deeper understanding of the factors affecting student mental health, providing valuable information that could guide the creation of targeted interventions to enhance student well-being in higher education environments.

 

There is not a lot of information on how sleep quality and school belonging are connected to academic stress and depressive symptoms. It is important to learn more about this connection to make plans and support systems to help people with these negative impacts. This research aims to learn more about these connections and understand the factors that affect students’ mental health. They hope to find information that can help make specific interventions to improve students’ well-being in university settings.

This finding indicates that greater academic stress is linked to poorer sleep quality, supporting Hypothesis 3. School belonging (SB) has a statistically significant negative relationship with depressive symptoms (DS) (H4: β =− 0.334, t =6.825, p <0.001). This indicates that a greater sense of school belonging is linked to reduced depressive symptoms, supporting Hypothesis 4

 

They study found that increased academic stress is connected to poorer sleep quality, which is what they hypothesized. School belonging does have a relationship with depressive symptoms. This means when school belonging increases, depressive symptoms decrease, which they also hypothesized.

Consequently, the findings may not be readily applicable to other student populations or academic fields. Future studies should consider expanding the sample to include a broader and more diverse range of students across different fields and educational institutions.

 

What this study found may not apply to everyone because of their specific population. In the future studies should research populations that are more diverse such as different fields or schools.

Future research should follow up on this work with different populations. This study mainly had male engineer participants. This means the research lacks applicability to populations of different age, gender and fields, and must be studies more. Future research should also try longitudinal studies to see impacts over a greater amount of time to gain even more insight into these relationships.

For me, the tables are the hardest part of the paper to understand. There are a lot of values and relationships to understand fully that are hard to interpret.
