“…Other findings that corroborate with the present are those of Onieva-Zafra et al [7] and Ajibade et al [20]. However, the findings of Karaca et al [34] and Ayaz-Alkya and Simones [35], reported avoidance behaviour, as the frequently used coping strategy, and Chaabane et al [31], reported emotion-focused coping strategy differed from the present study. Avoidance behaviour was least used by students across all the various institutions in this study.…”

The study was a cross-sectional survey, aimed at assessing the level of perceived stress, common sources of perceived stress, physio-psycho-social responses and coping strategies to stress among student nurses undergoing training in Anambra State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique method was adopted for the study in which 183 student nurses from 4 different institutions were surveyed. Perceived stress scale (PSS) was used to determine the respondent’s level of stress and sources of stress. Physio-psycho-social response scale (PPSRS) was used to ascertain the respondent’s physio-psycho-social well-being, while coping behaviour inventory (CBI) was used to assess the respondents coping strategies. Results showed that 77.66 % of the participants had moderate level of perceived stress (mean score range 1.34-2.66), while 8.83 % had high level of stress (mean score range 2.67-4.00) and 13.51 % low stress level (mean score range 0-1.33). The major source of stress for most of the students was from assignments and workload. The overall mean PPSRS indicated a best health status for most of the institutions. The scores for all the institutions fell within the moderate use of the coping strategies, and the most common coping strategy adopted by the students was problem-solving behaviour. It is recommended that institutions and nurse educators should adopt measures to reduce stress on the students, by giving out assignments at the commencement of a course to give ample time for students to accomplish the academic tasks.

“…Significant levels of emotional distress can be found at all levels of higher education, but now, more than ever, nursing schools are seeing a wellness crisis that impacts the delivery of material and attrition rates and will ultimately affect the availability of nurses. The normal stressors affecting nursing students, coupled with a worldwide pandemic, support the implementation of wellness programs in all nursing programs (Ayaz-Alkay & Simones, 2022; McCarthy et al, 2018; Zukhra et al, 2021). Undergraduate nursing students are the future of nursing.…”

“…Nursing students must be able to cope with stressful situations before entering practice because nursing is a stressful profession. Nurses experience the stress of long hours at work and the need to take on greater and more complex patient loads (Ayaz-Alkay & Simones, 2022). This was our starting point for developing a wellness program from the ground up.…”

“…Existing evidence shows that the two significant causes in nursing students are academic demands and the clinical learning environment (McCarthy et al, 2018).Academic stress, without proper and timely coping strategies, leads to unpleasant feelings (Ayaz-Alkay & Simones, 2022), and maladaptive behaviors can impede students' ability to complete their nursing education. The effects of stress on nursing student outcomes require schools of nursing to consider potential stress management interventions (Ayaz-Alkay & Simones, 2022). One of every three nursing students reported anxiety or dealing with negative stress during the COVID-19 outbreak (Zukhra et al, 2021).…”

Engineering education plays a vital role in nurturing high‐quality engineers to meet the demands of the industry. The advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has provided greater potential as a supporting tool in engineering education. Previous research has emphasized the need to further investigate the learning difficulties faced by engineering students to enhance their learning experience. Although the implementation of blended learning using the flipped classroom approach has gained popularity in tertiary education, there is a lack of research on students' perception of this approach in engineering education. This exploratory study focuses on the Engineering domain, specifically investigating students' learning difficulties in Mechanics Dynamics and their attitudes toward blended learning using the flipped classroom approach in engineering education. Using data collected from 121 students at Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Malaysia, this study employed descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression to analyze the data. Three models related to students' learning difficulties were proposed based on the outcomes of exploratory factor analysis. The results indicate that students encountered difficulties in learning Mechanics Dynamics, particularly in visualizing concepts and solving problems involving three dimensions. The findings and analysis demonstrate significant results (p < .05), supporting the hypotheses of the three proposed models. Additionally, the majority of students (66.1%) exhibited a positive attitude toward the use of the flipped classroom approach in engineering courses. The research findings serve as a preliminary requirement for the development of a software prototype to investigate the efficacy of the flipped classroom approach in engineering courses.
