Abstract

The psychological health of university students is being acknowledged as a fundamental indicator influencing their academic performance, social intelligence, and general well-being. This paper focuses on assessing the psychological and physical health, anxiety levels, sleep deprivation, and depression levels of the 2024 group of students at Bamyan University. Utilizing a cross-sectional overview technique, data were collected from 211 students through a validated psychological health survey. A random sampling strategy was used to ensure representativeness. Reliability of the mental healthiness construct, which incorporates the anxiety, sleep deprivation, and Depression measurements, was recorded at 0.81 of Cronbach alpha. The results show critical connections between physical and psychological health, as well as striking levels of anxiety and depression among students. They have a positive, significant correlation of 0.617 on 0.01 level. The revelations highlight the critical necessity of mediation to improve the psychological condition of university students. The researchers suggested some recommendations for the Bamyan University students that actualize comprehensive psychological health services on campus to supply counseling and encourage students encountering anxiety, depression, or sleep deprivation. Furthermore, programs should be created that focus on physical health advancement through workouts, nourishment, and wellness workshops to improve general psychological health. Besides that, implement targeted awareness campaigns on campus to educate students about mental health resources and coping strategies and advance assets accessible for support. In addition, conduct standard appraisals of the understudy's psychological well-being to display changes over time and modify intercessions accordingly. Finally, empower the arrangement of peer-strengthening groups where students can share experiences and adapt methodologies in a secure environment.
