Abstract

Abstract. This study examines the relationship between patience and academic stress among Indonesian university students, considering the significant differences between educational systems at the university and school levels, which often lead to academic stress. Patience is seen as a key factor in managing stress by helping individuals maintain self-control in difficult situations. Using a correlational quantitative design, the study involved 75 students aged 18 to 25 years and employed the patience scale by Rusdi (2018) and the academic stress scale by Sun et al. (2011). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a weak but significant negative relationship between patience and academic stress (p = 0.026, r = -0.225), indicating that while patience reduces academic stress, it explains only 5% of the variance. These findings suggest that higher levels of patience are associated with lower academic stress, though its overall influence is modest.
