Abstract

In the United Kingdom, it was found that undergraduate student satisfaction in higher education was greatly enhanced by warm, respectful, and trusting relationships with approachable and empathetic staff, alongside well-organized courses, with staff support and job security being essential for sustaining such relational teaching (Bell, 2021). In the United States, students who have caregiving duties often experience depression and anxiety, which these feelings are connected to their financial aid records, part-time status, and their grades. Moreover, students who provide care are more likely to have emotional stress and struggle more with their schoolwork (Armstrong et al., 2022). Caregiving students who provide support that cares, for example, help them reduce burnout and enhance their quality of life (Dang et al., 2025). The study carefully looked at many important areas that affect how happy caregiving students feel, including how much teachers support students, how good the teaching was, how comfortable and helpful the learning spaces are, the support and services offered to students, the campus facilities, and how well students feel prepared for life after the school campus (Zhu, 2025).
