Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: : The study's main goal was to determine the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation among undergraduate students at universities in Punjab, Pakistan. To achieve the research objectives, a correlational research design was used. A total of 11,763 undergraduate students comprised the study population from three public sector universities in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan. The study's sample was composed of total one hundred and eleven participants covering (42) male and (69) female students chosen through a simple random sampling procedure. The data was analyzed by applying inferential statistics, Pearson coefficient correlation, and a t-test. The results revealed that there is a strong relationship between academic stress and an increased level of negativity, which implies that students have a tendency towards suicide ideation. The study recommended that administrators should pay more attention to this potential problem and focus on managing stress-coping strategies and support services for university students. Keywords Stress, Suicidal, Ideation, Students, Universities.
