This study examines the interrelation between academic stress, psychological well-being, and
perceived social support within the framework of open learning. Given the escalating demands of
higher education, it is especially important to understand the influence of academic stress on
students' mental health and the role of social support in mitigating its adverse consequences. The
emphasis on students in open learning arises from the specific obstacles they face in distance
education, which may create unique demands.
The primary objective is to comprehend the impact of academic stress on students' psychological
well-being and the role of perceived social support in mitigating these effects. A mixed-methods
approach was employed, integrating survey data with insights derived from interviews. Students
from diverse academic levels and backgrounds participated by completing a self-constructed
questionnaire that assessed their stress levels, well-being, and support systems. A designated
cohort also engaged in interviews to convey their coping strategies and personal narratives.
The study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between academic
stress, mental health, and support networks in the context of distance education by integrating
statistical data and human views. The results are anticipated to inform enhancements in support
services and foster improved mental health within higher education settings.
