Stress-management skills among Dutch and Hungarian students

Students face significant stressors from a variety of sources, and this stress can also cause significant damage to their health, happiness, and academic progress. In our research, we examined the causes of significant stress in the lives of students in Hungary and in the Netherlands. We assessed the tools used in stress management and the coping strategies used in specific cases. We have studied the external stressors influencing university performance, the possibilities of asking for help within and outside the educational institution, and the extent to which students make use of the existing opportunities. We examined the differences between students in the two countries.
