| Increasing urbanization has resulted in urban stress, and this issue has affected adults, including university students. This study investigates the relationship between the utilization of nearby green spaces by university students and their perceptions of stress and health. According to Ulrich's Stress Reduction Theory, this study designs an online survey method on students’ stress and analyzes their stress based on the results of the survey. The statistical population of the research included all 417 undergraduate students of English Language Translation at Alborz Payame Noor University in the academic year 2022-2023. Finally, 186 students who completed the online survey were selected for the study. The Perceived Stress Scale scores were combined and entered into IBM SPSS statistics 25. The results obtained from the regression analysis showed that the utilization of green spaces is negatively correlated with perceived stress levels, indicating that the frequency and time of visiting green areas have a predictive role in reducing the stress of students. This research adds to the body of knowledge regarding the function that urban green spaces predict promoting wellbeing and stress reduction. Thus, some suggestions for utilizing urban green spaces to improve university students' health might be proposed. | ||
