“…The finding that stressors related to exams and assessments were among the first five academic stressors was similar to the finding of previous studies (21,29,35,41). A study involving nursing students in Turkey observed that students experience a high degree of exam anxiety, and in another study, students reported that their greatest source of stress was that of bedside evaluation by a clinical instructor (42,20).…”

ÖzAmaç: Bu çalışma Türk hemşirelik lisans öğrencilerinin eğitimleri sırasında yaşadıkları stres düzeylerini ve stresi etkileyebilecek bazı sosyodemografik değişkenleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Yöntemler: Araştırma tanımlayıcı kesitsel olarak 821 öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Veriler, bilgi formu ve Hemşirelik Eğitimi Stres Ölçeği (Stress in Nurse Education Questionnaire-SINE) ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: SINE'nin alt boyutları olan akademik stres ve uygulama stresi toplam puan ortalamaları birbirine yakın olmasına karşın akademik stres biraz daha yüksek çıkmıştır. Klinik stresle ilgili de acı çeken bir hastayı izlemek en çok stres yaratan durum olarak belirlenmiştir. Klinik uygulamada öğre-tim elemanı tarafından eleştirilmek ve bakım verirken hata yapma korkusu öğrencilerin en çok raporladığı diğer klinik stres faktörleri arasındadır. Öğ-rencilerin okudukları okullara, cinsiyete göre ve algılanan akademik başa-rıya göre SINE toplam ve alt boyutları puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin akademik stresleri arasında en çok sınav-lara hazırlanmak, sınavlara girmek ve değerlendirilme endişesi gelmektedir. Klinik stresleri olarak acı çeken bir hastayı izlemek, öğretim elemanı tarafından eleştirilmek ve bakım verirken hata yapma korkusu belirlenmiştir.

Stress is a universal problem among nursing students, and undergraduate nursing students have a higher risk of developing mental health problems relative to the general population and students of other health disciplines (1-5). Rhead (6) emphasized that stress is an important psychological factor that can affect the academic performance and health of students during nursing school and the first stages of entering the clinic.Studies on stress in the practical application of nursing education and student training have identified the following common stress sources: taking responsibility for caring for a sick person, encountering death or a dying patient, lack of support in clinical practice, and lack of self-confidence during clinical practice (7-20). It is possible to examine the stressors experienced by nursing students according to three main groups (16):1. Academic stressors (e.g., being tested, fear of failing in the application of training, and problems related to the field of study)2. Clinical stressors (e.g., studying, fear of making a mistake, fear of receiving a negative response from a dying or suffering patient, and relationships with other people in an institution)Objective: This study was determined Turkish nursing undergraduates may affect stress levels and stress they experience during their studies to determine the socio-demographic variables. Methods: This study, which descriptive cross-sectional in design study was completed with 821 stu...

“…Nursing has been considered stressful due to the particularities of its work process. 4 However, some studies have shown that the professional training of nurses has been identified as stressful by university students, [5][6][7] who have to administer personal and social life, the requirements of the university where they study and the preparation for their professional career. 8 In addition, the transition from academic to professional life is a period that involves important personal decisions such as where and when to start the professional career and when to start a family and assume financial responsibilities.…”

This study was aimed at investigating the association between the stress levels of nursing students and their sociodemographic and academic characteristics. This quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in four Brazilian higher education Institutions. Data were collected from April 2011 to March 2012, using a sociodemographic and academic tool form for the students and the Assessment of Stress Among Nursing Students. 705 students participated and the results showed a predominance of medium stress levels, followed by high stress levels. Statistically significant differences were found for stress and age group, institution type (public/ private), work activity, satisfaction with the course and if the student had ever thought of dropping out of the course. This study showed that education is assessed as a stressor and that there is an association between the nursing students' characteristics and the stress level. DESCRIPTORS:Nursing. Students, nursing.

ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE ESTRESSE E CARACTERÍSTICAS SOCIODEMOGRÁFICAS E ACADÊMICAS DE ESTUDANTES DE ENFERMAGEM RESUMO:Objetivou-se verificar a associação entre estresse de discentes de enfermagem e as características sociodemográficas e acadêmicas dos mesmos. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, analítico e transversal, desenvolvido em quatro instituições de ensino superior brasileiras. A coleta dos dados ocorreu entre abril de 2011 a março de 2012, por meio de um formulário sociodemográfico e acadêmico dos discentes e um instrumento para Avaliação de Estresse em Estudantes de Enfermagem. Participaram 705 acadêmicos, com predomínio destes em médio nível de estresse, seguido pelo alto nível de estresse. Quanto às associações, verificou-se diferenças estatísticas significativas entre estresse e as variáveis: faixa etária, tipo de instituição (pública/privada), atividade de trabalho, satisfação com o curso e se já pensou em desistir do curso. Esse estudo permitiu considerar que a formação acadêmica é avaliada como estressora e existe associação entre nível de estresse e as características dos discentes de enfermagem.

“…Through the data it is evident that even though students do not have overall responsibility for the care of patients, lack of knowledge and inability to cope with situations is stressful in itself. Indeed some of the most common stressors reported among student nurses include having to watch suffering and the death of patients [4].…”

Background: Compassion fatigue is a form of occupational stress which occurs when individuals are exposed to suffering and trauma on an ongoing basis. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of compassion fatigue among student nurses following their first clinical placement in a UK health care setting during 2015. Methods: The aim of this study was to explore students' thoughts and feelings about compassion fatigue using reflective poems as a source of data. An interpretive phenomenological approach was taken using a purposeful sampling strategy which aimed to explore in depth meaning of the concept as experienced by the students. Results: From this study it is clear that students experience compassion fatigue and this has a psychological effect on their wellbeing and ability to learn in the clinical practice setting. Reflective poetry writing enabled articulation of feelings which were at times negative and linked to the student's status as a novice nurse. Conclusions: Students experience compassion fatigue and educators need to find ways to provide support in both clinical and university settings. Positive practices such as shared reflection and the use of creative teaching methods might be beneficial, to support exploration of feelings, build resilience and effective ways of coping.
