Search terms include "psychosocial stress," "nursing students." Articles were included if they used validated psychosocial stress assessment instruments. Of the 15 articles with data on stress prevalence, 8 met all inclusion criteria. Each article was independently reviewed by the authors and relevant data were abstracted. Statistical analysis was done using Revman 4.1.Results: Overall, the average score for stress among nursing students was 3.70 (95% confidence interval [CI]: [3.33, 4.06]) based on the analyzed 15 articles with a sample size of 9202. Conclusion:This study showed that the stress level of intern nursing students was mainly moderate.

Aims and objectives: To examine whether coping styles moderate the influence of stressors and psychological well-being in Hong Kong nursing students. Background: Stress could contribute to psychological distress in nursing students. Coping strategies are essential to mitigate psychological distress. So far, the moderating effects of coping between stressors and psychological well-being has not been thoroughly investigated. Design: This is a cross-sectional study conducted at four higher education institutions in Hong Kong. Methods: We recruited a convenience sample of 293 nursing students in February 2018. The Stressors in Nursing Students Scale-Chinese version (SINS-CN), Brief Cope Inventory-Chinese version (Brief COPE-C), and the Chinese version of the General Health Questionnaire-12 (C-GHQ-12) were used to measure the stressors, coping styles, and psychological well-being, respectively. Three multiple hierarchical linear regression models were used to identify the associations between the variables. Results: The stressors related to clinical learning, confidence, and personal problems were significant in explaining the psychological well-being. The coping strategies also predicted the psychological well-being and explained 44.5% of the variance. The coping strategy—accommodation—moderated the relationship between personal problems and psychological well-being. Conclusion: Problem-solving and accommodation types of coping were adaptive to stress and effective in promoting psychological well-being. However, using accommodation to cope with stressors related to personal problems will exacerbate the negative effects of the personal problems on the psychological well-being. Relevance to clinical practice: This study reveals the relationships between stressors, coping, and psychological well-being. Nurse educators must be aware of nursing student coping styles so they may devise strategies to promote effective coping to reduce the psychological distress among nursing students.

“…Similar to this study, Jones, Hansen, Kaddoura, Schwab-McCoy and Tocchini [56] emphasized that nursing students experience considerably elevated levels of stress. In Saudi Arabia, nursing students had the highest levels of stress [57]. In addition, a significant prevalence of stress among university students has been found in numerous research [58,59].…”

Background: Students go through a period of significant personal and social growth during their enrollment at university. It is essential to investigate the factors that affect the health of university students. Relatively little research has been done on how they are affected by factors such as practicing physical exercise, insufficient sleep, and effective management of stress. Aim: To investigate female nursing students' levels of perceived stress, practicing physical activity, and insomnia and examine related relationships. Methods: The sample for this descriptive and correlational study included 290 consenting female nursing university students. The students completed the following questionnaires: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the perceived stress scale, the Bergen insomnia scale, and the international physical activity questionnaire. Results: There were 32.19% of inactive students, 44.13% of minimally active students, and 23.68% of sufficiently active students. Insomnia affected 42.70% of them. High levels of perceived stress were reported by the student (22.54±7.16). Students with bad family support experienced insomnia more frequently than students with very good family support (OR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.06-2.16). Students who used their mobile phones before sleep experienced insomnia (OR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.17-2.63). High-stress students were also more likely to have insomnia (OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 0.95-0.98). Conclusion: insomnia is more common among students who experience high levels of stress, have bad family support, or use their phones before sleep. Promoting physical activity, sleep, and reducing perceived stress among university students requires preventative and therapeutic measures supported by scientific evidence.
