Problem #3: What are the skills used by Freshmen Architecture students of De La
Salle University Dasmarias to cope in dealing with stress?

Based on the findings, the following are the conclusions drawn from the study:

The stress experienced by most of the freshmen architecture students falls under
the category of the Medium Level of Stress. This states that the students, based
on the definition of the Medium Level of Stress, are capable of managing and
handling the stress they are experiencing through dealing with their stressors.

The top three stressors contributing to the stress of the respondents are Fear of
failure, Examination, and Lack of time for relaxation. Due to the level of difficulty
of the respondents course and the strictness of the rules in which their course is
founded upon, fear of failure is natural. Examination, being one of the major
factors affecting the students grade and average, jives with the negative feeling
brought by the fear of failure. The unfavorable effect by the first two stressors
logically requires the individual to prepare for the requirements brought by the
course, evidently leading to Lack of time for relaxation.
Headache, Sleep problems and Fatigue are the effects of stress with the three
highest grades which determines that these are the most common outcomes of
stress that the students experience.

Due to the academic workload it was found out that fifteen percent (15%) of the
respondents use sleep; fourteen percent (14%) of the respondents listens to
music and; thirteen percent (13%) talk to their friends as their coping mechanism
related to stress.



Based on the findings and conclusions, the following are recommended by the
researchers:

Future researchers may conduct another study, related to the studys main
argument and concept, and use this research as one of their basis and/or
references. They may use alternative data sets, the links of the study connecting
it with the other fields, and conduct different methods applied to the same data.

Future researchers may conduct interviews or group discussions to determine
the specific effect of each level of stress to the studys respondents.

Future researchers may add other information, provided that these are based on
or proven to be a fact, supporting the studys findings and conclusions.
The School should have programs or symposiums to guide and aid students
regarding the different issues of stress. The school should let the students know
that certain people and professionals are available to help them in battling with
stress. It is important that the students are aware of any help they can manage to
receive.

Respondents should learn how to manage time properly. Managing time enables
an individual to perform efficiently thus, decreasing the impact of stress.

Faculty members should be considerate regarding the amount of school works
they assign and give to their students. The faculty should have a system to
prevent certain school work pileups, or have a maximum number of assigned
tasks and work in a given period of time.
