Abstract

Manifestations of stress have serious consequences for nursing professionals beginning with nursing students. [1, 2] One source of stress for baccalaureate nursing students is inappropriate patient sexual behavior (IPSB). [3, 4] Baccalaureate nursing programs have limited response frameworks to provide support to affected students. High levels of stress, regardless of duration or frequency, can affect learning, performance, and retention in nursing programs. [1, 3] Many stressful incidents experienced by nursing students do not meet parameters of existing student support policies, including Title IX or early alert programs since they occur in clinical sites off campus. Repetitive high-stake stressors encountered by nursing students increase risks for deleterious health outcomes. [1-4] Therefore, policy changes at university, state, and federal levels to build resilience, health, and wellness for undergraduate nursing students must be developed and implemented.
