Introduction

Prevalence of depression, anxiety, stress in indonesian female students: literature review . Prevalence of depression, anxiety, stress among Indonesian female students. This literature review highlights academic pressure's impact, showing higher rates in women.

Abstract

The cause of depression, anxiety, and stress in female students is due to the burden of the lecture and academic environment to get the best grades. The purpose of this article is to add the scientific treasure trove regarding the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in Indonesian female students. This type of research is a literature study obtained from scientific articles that are searched using the keywords Anxiety, Depression, Indonesia, Students, Students, Stress, and Prevalence through Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Research Gate. The criteria for the article used have been published for 10 years, namely 2015-2025, the title and content of the journal are in accordance with the title of the research. The results of the analysis from 23 articles showed that most of the respondents were female students with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress than men.

Review

The submitted manuscript presents a timely and highly relevant literature review addressing the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) among Indonesian female students. Given the escalating global concerns regarding student mental health, particularly in high-pressure academic environments, this study's objective to enrich the scientific understanding of this specific demographic is commendable. By synthesizing existing research, the paper aims to highlight a significant public health issue and contribute valuable insights into the mental well-being of a vulnerable student population in Indonesia. Methodologically, the study outlines a robust approach for a literature review, utilizing multiple reputable databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Research Gate, which enhances the comprehensiveness of the search. The broad set of keywords, including "Anxiety, Depression, Indonesia, Students, Stress, and Prevalence," alongside a recent publication criterion (2015-2025), suggests a systematic effort to capture pertinent and contemporary research. However, the abstract's opening statement, asserting a direct causal link between academic burden and DAS, might benefit from being reframed as a hypothesized or frequently cited contributing factor within the literature, rather than an initial definitive cause, to align more closely with the typical objective of a literature synthesis. Additionally, the redundancy in listing "Students, Students" in the keywords could be streamlined. The preliminary findings, derived from an analysis of 23 articles, suggest a concerning trend: female students generally exhibit higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to their male counterparts. This outcome underscores the critical need for gender-specific mental health interventions and support systems within Indonesian academic institutions. The full paper would ideally elaborate on the nuances within these 23 articles, such as variations in methodology, specific risk factors identified, and potential protective factors. Overall, this literature review offers a valuable initial step towards understanding and addressing the mental health challenges faced by Indonesian female students, paving the way for more targeted research and evidence-based policy development in the region.
