Influencing Factors on Perceived Stress among Female College Students in South Korea

This document he 20-25 years old female university students from Jiangsu province in China and Seoul in South Korea were chosen as the subjects. The method of simple random sampling and analyzing questionnaires was employed and the questionnaire content are following: 50 questions referring body cognition and figure satisfaction and 11 questions investigating subjects’ acceptence of various clothing styles. Responses data were collected and processed by the SPSS (17.0 for Windows) statistical software and statistical methods of Descriptive analysis, Crosstabs, Mean multiple comparison (Duncan) was employed. This study focused on female college students’ self-figure cognition, self-figure satisfaction and dressing desire and would offer reference and advice about developing China’s and South Korea’s apparel trade.

Abstract Objectives To examine the relationship between reported vigorous aerobic exercise and perceived stress scores (PSS) among female college students with overweight or obesity. Methods Cross-sectional data were collected between 2012–2020 from the College Health and Nutrition Assessment Survey, an ongoing study at a public northeastern university. Measured height and weight by trained technicians were used to calculate BMI (kg/m2) and categorize students as overweight/obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Students completed Cohen's 10-item Perceived Stress Scale and self-reported vigorous physical activity (days/past week) via online (Qualtrics) questionnaire. Mean differences between activity groups were examined via ANCOVA; age, major and taking anxiety medication served as covariates. Results A total of n = 622 female students with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 were included for analyses. Participants had a mean age of 18.8 ± 0.4 years and BMI of 28.1 ± 0.1 kg/m2. Most (95.1%) participants were white, and first year students made up the largest group (55.4%) of participants. Almost 1 in 5 students (17.8%) reported no days of vigorous activity, 15.3% reported one day, 12.8% reported 2 days, and 54% reported 3 or more days of vigorous activity. PSS scores were negatively related to # of vigorous activity days (P < 0.001). Those who reported no days of vigorous activity had higher perceived stress scores than those who participated in 2 days or 3 or more days of vigorous activity (19.7 ± 0.6 vs. 17.0 ± 0.7 and 16.3 ± 0.4, respectively, P < 0.01). Conclusions Findings suggest engaging in increasing days of vigorous activity is related to lower perceived stress in female college students with overweight or obesity. These findings support the inclusion of physical activity recommendations to broadly support the health and wellness of university students.
