This article aimed: 1) to investigate the problems of pressure management of university students in Gannan University of Science and Technology, 2) to investigate the needs of pressure management of university students in Gannan University of Science and Technology, and 3) to construct strategic management guidelines for solutions on student pressure in Gannan University of Science and Technology. The sample group utilized in this study consists of students from Gannan University of Science and Technology, with a total of 385 students surveyed through stratified random sampling. The research instrument employed was a questionnaire survey. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The research revealed the following findings: Students at Gannan University of Science and Technology significantly elevated their pressure management problems and needs. We have divided the strategic guidelines for pressure management of Chinese university students into six modules: 1) Identify and understand precursors. 2) Investigating the Causes of pressure. 3) Investigate how survey pressure affects students. 4) Identify strategies for providing relief. 5) Watch for signs that students need help. 6) Know where to go for help. To sum up, it is of great significance to help university students correctly understand pressure, effectively manage and relieve it, and improve their overall mental health. By helping university students understand the pressure and providing them with ways to relieve the pressure, we can help them successfully achieve a state of physical and mental balance from the state of pressure, guide university students to choose positive coping ways in the face of pressure, and maintain mental health.
