Final Year Students, Frequency of Coffee Consumption, Stress LevelAbstract
Final-year students often face high academic pressure, particularly during the completion of their thesis or final project. This condition has the potential to cause stress, which may negatively affect physical and mental health if not properly managed. Coffee consumption is a common habit among students to support their academic activities. The caffeine content in coffee is known to stimulate the central nervous system, thereby increasing alertness and reducing fatigue. However, studies specifically examining the relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and stress levels among students remain limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and stress levels among final-year students. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 52 respondents selected using a total sampling technique based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to assess coffee consumption and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) to measure stress levels. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman test. The results showed that most respondents consumed coffee more than three times per day and were categorized as having moderate stress levels. Statistical analysis indicated a significant negative correlation between the frequency of coffee consumption and stress levels (ρ = -0.389; p = 0.004), meaning that the higher the frequency of coffee consumption, the lower the perceived stress level. In conclusion, there is a moderate negative relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and stress levels among final-year students at STIKes RS Husada.
