Abstract
Psychological stress encompasses emotional tension and pressure experienced
by people, which usually arises from situations people find challenging.
However, more is needed to know about the pressures faced by international
college students studying in China. The goal of this study is to investigate
the various stressors that international college students in China face and how
they cope with stress (coping mechanisms). Twenty international students were
interviewed to gather data, which was then transcribed. Thematic analysis and
coding were applied to the qualitative data, revealing themes related to the
causes of stress. The following themes emerge from this data: anticipatory
anxiety or future stress, social and cultural challenges, financial strain, and
academic pressure. These themes will help understand the various stressors
international college students in China face and how they try to cope. Studying
how international college students in China cope with challenges can guide the
development of targeted interventions to support their mental health. Research
suggests that integrating aesthetics and connectivity into design interventions
can notably improve the well-being of these students. This paper presents
possible future design solutions, leveraging the aesthetics of connectivity to
empower students and enhance their resilience. Additionally, it aims to provide
valuable insights for designers interested in creating solutions that alleviate
stress and promote emotional awareness among international students.
