evidence of the coping mechanism for stress among college students. The major topics associated to
stress and how college students cope with stress are stressor, maladaptive behaviors, and coping
mechanisms. Students experience numerous stressors that negatively impact their learning capabilities
and practice effectiveness. Countless students have numerous role expectations and demand such as a
academics, internships, family, friends, intimate relationships, work, and conflicting demands on time,
all which increase stress level. In an effort to manage this stress, students either engage in maladaptive
behaviors or implement coping mechanisms. Self-compassion can be a valuable strategy for students
to practice to manage their stress. The purpose of this study is to assess the college students’ coping
skills when dealing with stress.
