As already mentioned, stress appears to be a serious problem for university students as a very vulnerable group of the population [4,5]. In addition, there is evidence that perceived stress is negatively related to students’ health-related quality of life [24] and their perceived health status [25]. Stressed students suffer from many other health problems, including physical exhaustion, sleep disorders, irascibility, negative thoughts, and feelings of nervousness [26]. The fact that unhealthy behavioural decisions, mental disorders, and burnout are attributed to perceived stress increases the severity of the problem [27,28,29,30]. For these reasons, the perceived stress of university students should be measured and addressed.
