Data were collected using the Sel-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) for mental health and the Perceived cademic Stress Scale (PASS) through Google Forms. The study was conducted at Universitas Bumi Persada and Universitas Islam Kebangsaan Indonesia in May 2026. The results showed that 79%of respondents were at risk of mental health problems, while 79% experienced high levels of academic stress.
