Participants were selected using convenience sampling and data were collected through an appropriate questionnaire. The results showed that midlife problems were rare, with only 3.20% of participants experiencing midlife problems. Stress awareness was high at 63.00%, indicating severe anxiety.

The relationship between midlife crisis and perceived stress and the role of psychological capital are explored. Results showed a weak association between midlife crisis and psychological capital.
