| dc.description.abstract | The current study was carried out to investigate the association of school-related stress and psychological capital with academic achievement and behavior problems in students with health impairements as well as the the possible moderating influence of psychological capital in the school-related stress and outcomes relationships. In addition, the study examined differences in school-related stress, psychological capital, academic achievement and behavioral problems between students with and without health impairments. The study involved 233 students with health impairments and 250 students without health impairements in Addis Ababa. Instruments used for the study include the Demographic Questionnaire, Perceived School-Related Stress Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and school record reviews. Descriptive statistics, structural equation modeling, multi-group structural equation modeling, one-way MANOVA and independent samples t-test were utilized to anlyze the data. Results revealed that school-related stress was significantly and negatively associated with academic achievement and positively with behavior problems. Psycholgical capital was significantly and positively associated with academic achievement and negatively with behavior problems. Higher levels of psychological capital had a significant moderating role in the relationships between school related stress and both outcomes of academic achievement and behavior problems. The results also indicated that students with health impairments had higher school-related stress, lower psychological capital, lesser academic achievement and greater behavior problems compared to students without health impairments.
