Brief Review of Relevant Literature


Previous studies have shown that financial stress can lead to decreased academic performance,
increased dropout rates, and various mental health issues, including anxiety and depression (Roberts et
al., 2018; Joo et al., 2019). Research indicates that students experiencing financial difficulties often
report lower levels of academic engagement and motivation (Miller & Rudd, 2020). Additionally, the
relationship between financial stress and mental health has been well-documented, with many students
citing financial concerns as a primary source of stress (Eisenberg et al., 2009). However, there is a gap in
the literature regarding the specific experiences of students at community colleges, particularly in the
context of the Philippines.
