Economic Inequality Academic Stress, Optimism, And Mental Health Among Students In Response To Going Back To Offline School After Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between academic stress, optimism, and mental health among students transitioning from online to offline education following the COVID-19 pandemic. The abrupt transition from online to offline education has presented significant obstacles for students, negatively affecting their academic performance and mental health. This study seeks to comprehend the factors influencing academic stress during the transition, the challenges of readjustment encountered by students returning to offline education, and the potential benefits of this change. In addition, the function of optimism as a coping mechanism and its impact on academic stress and mental health will be investigated. This investigation will be conducted using a secondary research methodology. The existing literature, including research articles, journals, and other pertinent sources published after 2015, will be analysed critically to glean useful insights. The research will examine previous studies examining the connection between academic stress and mental health, the impact of optimism on contending with academic stress, and the effects of the transition from online to offline education on mental health. To provide a comprehensive comprehension of the factors at play, theoretical frameworks such as stress and coping theories will be utilised.
