Hubungan Tingkat Kecemasan dan Konsumsi Kafein pada Mahasiswa Semester Akhir
Abstract
Final-year students often face high academic pressure, placing them at greater risk
of experiencing anxiety. At the same time, consumption has become a common
habit to enhance focus and energy during the process of completing a thesis or
final project. This study aimed to examine the relationship between anxiety levels
and caffeine consumption among final-year university students. The study
employed a quantitative method with a correlational design and involved 214
students as participants. The instruments used were the Caffeine Consumption
Questionnaire–Revised (CCQ-R) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y-8
(STAI-Y-8). The results indicated a significant positive relationship between anxiety
levels and caffeine consumption among final-year students. This was evidenced
by a Spearman correlation coefficient of r = 0.407 with p = 0.000, indicating that
higher levels of anxiety are associated with higher levels of caffeine consumption.
