This study examines the relationship between perceived stress and physical health among undergraduate students at the University of Sharjah. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design, the research analyzed data from 350 students using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and a targeted physical health questionnaire. The study explores stress levels, differences across participant characteristics, and associated symptoms—such as fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, appetite changes, and blood pressure fluctuations. The findings demonstrate a significant positive relationship between stress and physical health problems, highlighting the critical need for stress-management programs and health-promotion strategies to improve student well-being and academic performance.
