This graduate project focused on understanding what levels of stress social work graduate students are experiencing, explore if the social work graduate students' level of perceived stress is related to the development of somatic symptoms, and understand if the amount of hours worked relate to somatic symptoms. The researcher's current hypothesis is that students' perceived stress level will be related to emotional, psychological, and overall physical health and is displayed through somatic symptoms. To demonstrate the effect of the number of hours worked, perceived stress, and life event stressors on somatic symptoms, a multiple hierarchical regression model was used to analyze the relationship. The findings revealed that perceived stress is a stronger predictor of somatic symptoms. Is it not so much events of Masters of Social Work (MSW) students' lives that cause somatic symptoms but how MSW students perceived the life event stressors that is related to somatic symptoms. Limitations to the study included having a small and non-randomized sample size. Further research with a larger and randomized sample size is recommended to support the external validity of the study and apply the results to the general population of MSW graduate students. vi The findings could be helpful in supporting practices that could assist MSW graduate students in reducing their perceived stress and somatic symptoms. As a result this could improve MSW graduate students' emotional, psychological, and overall medical health and may prepare them to provide the best quality service to the community and society.

With the exceedingly competitive job market, skilled individuals are overlooked compared to those with a college degree. The pressure to earn a college degree weighs heavily on those who wish to attain gainful employment. From the transition from high school to university and adapting to new academic environments, college students are burdened with high levels of expectations. Recent studies have reported the transition leads to high levels of stress and depression. This study focuses on college students' perceived social support and how it affects their levels of stress that may lead to experiencing various levels of depression. 160 college students participated in this quantitive study. One of the findings of the study was the significant relationship between perceived social support, stress, and depression.

This book brings together research relating to the economics of higher education in Ireland and presents evidence that will help support policy decision making. It provides an analysis of prominent issues within the higher education sector from an economic viewpoint, discussing the relevant theory and offering an empirical analysis. The book examines three broad themes with a specific focus on issues related to undergraduate education: participation and preferences, progression and outcomes, and benefits and financing. Each chapter presents an accessible, non-specialist analysis of the topic of interest, making it relevant to a wider audience. In doing so, the book provides an important addition to our current knowledge and understanding of higher education in Ireland from an economic perspective. Key chapters discuss the factors influencing institution choices, student retention in higher education, and policy debates surrounding student finance. The book will serve as a useful and up-to-date resource for policymakers, researchers, academics and students across a range of disciplines, both in Ireland and internationally.

This is a secondary analysis of Master of Social Work students at California State University, Stanislaus (CSUS) that focused on stress levels and analyzed demographic characteristics and interpersonal issues connected to the levels of perceived stress. The information was gathered using a tool called the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). There were a total of 103 MSW graduate students who participated in this secondary analysis. The statistics indicated that the CSUS graduate students experienced significant levels of stress. One of the contributing factors of stress in regards to demographics was age. Academic mandates and interpersonal issues also caused moderately high levels of stress. Over 98% of the MSW graduate students experienced stress or anxiety within the last thirty days. Additionally, 94.1% of the respondents indicated that the academic components elicited high levels of stress. The implications of this study suggest that self-care, utilization of services available on campus, and support from family and friends are examples of ways to decrease stress during a student's academic endeavors. In fact some universities have implemented awareness by creating a manual on how to decrease stress and various self-care options, providing links on the university websites on how to manage stress and what are the characteristics of stress, and offering seminars on how to enhance coping strategies when stress appears to be impeding students' academic success or personal lives..
