Abstract

Academic stress is a challenging condition faced by students due to academic pressure, which can affect physiological functions such as blood glucose levels. This study aimed to assess the correlation between academic stress levels and blood glucose levels among students enrolled in the Medical Laboratory Technology (D.IV) Study Program at Kadiri University. This was a quantitative, non-experimental study using a cross-sectional design. The participants were 31 students, of whom 28 met the inclusion criteria. The Perceived Sources of Academic Stress (PSAS) questionnaire was used to measure academic stress levels, while the One Tech Medical Komodo 200 photometer was used to measure random blood glucose levels. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test. The findings showed that most participants experienced moderate stress (71.43%) and had normal blood glucose levels (53.57%). Pearson’s correlation analysis yielded r = 0.045 and p = 0.819 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between academic stress and blood glucose levels. These results suggest that academic stress did not have a statistically or practically significant effect on blood glucose levels among the students.
