Abstract

Academic stress is a common issue among university students, affecting academic performance, mental health, and well-being. This systematic review aims to identify effective interventions to reduce academic stress. Using the SPIDER framework and PRISMA guidelines, 20 relevant articles (2015–2025) were selected from databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The findings highlight various strategies such as mindfulness, self-affirmation, social support, self-efficacy training, emotional intelligence, ACT, relaxation, yoga, and digital interventions. Creative methods like art therapy and self-compassion also proved beneficial. These interventions promote stress reduction, emotional regulation, and academic resilience. The review offers practical insights for students, educators, and institutions to implement evidence-based approaches in fostering a healthier academic environment.
