Abstract :

Depression significantly impacts people’s behavior and relationships with their loved ones by negatively influencing their emotions and actions. In Bangkok, there is an increasing prevalence of depression among Thai and international high school students due to variances in study habits. Thus, we conducted cross-sectional survey research to determine the correlation between study behavior and depression in Thai high school students. An online questionnaire was employed in this study to gather information on the study habits, including time management, of Thai and international students. To determine if study habits among Thai and international students are associated with depression, we employed the standard deviation, Ttest, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. According to the information we have obtained, we have discovered that Thai high school students are more likely than international students to experience depression, which strongly shows that their academic curriculum is significantly more strenuous and stressful (p-value of 5.58). The outcomes of this study should aid in advancements in education and mental health research by promoting therapies, educational practices, and interventions by analyzing teenage problems, academic stress, and mental health.
