Enellia Cheryl Anak George, Rosna Abdul Raman, Dr. Eugene Koh Boon Yau Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia Background: Stress is recognized worldwide as a major challenge to an individual’s health and the healthiness of one’s workplace. Stress can occur in any person and affect anyone in a different way. Stress can happen when a person faces a situation they are unable to cope with. Academic stress in students has long been studied, and there are a variety of stressors found. Therefore, the need for stress management is proportional to the need for increased student achievement and overall school improvement. Objective: To assess the relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice of stress management among undergraduate students in Universiti Putra Malaysia. Methods: A cross sectional design with multi stage random sampling method used in this study. The data collection was done online within 1 months starting from July 2022 until August 2022. Self-administered questions from previous study by Rehman et al (2016) were used to assess knowledge and practice of stress and research tools such as 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) developed by Cohen et al. (1983) to assess perceived stress. SPSS 28 was used for data entry and analysis. The analysis used mean (standard deviation), frequency and percentage for the measurement of knowledge, attitude and practice of stress management. Pearson Correlation, Independent T Test and One Way Independent ANOVA used to determine the relationship between respondents' stress knowledge and their attitudes and behaviours related to stress and the association between socio-demographic factors and respondents' degree of knowledge, attitude, and practice on stress management. Result: A total of 100 undergraduate students involved in this study with equal amounts of male and female with mode value of age is 23 years old. The data shows 83% of them have poor knowledge on stress and 75% have moderate levels of stress but majority of them have good practice on stress management. Conclusion: Analysis has revealed that there is no significant association between sociodemographic characteristics such as gender (p= 0.903), year of study (p=0.140), marital status (p=0.270), and knowledge of depression. There is no significant association between knowledge and practice of stress management. Meanwhile, the findings found a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude of stress management (p=0.001) which concludes the results. Keywords: Malaysia, undergraduate students, stress, stress management, knowledge, attitude, practice
