Abstract

Stress has been identified as a 20th century disorder and has been viewed as a dynamic transaction between individuals and their environment. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at a nursing college of a North Indian city to assess the level of stress and factors associated with stress among nursing students. The data was collected by using perceived stress scale and self-structured checklist on the stress factors for assessing the level of stress and factors associated with stress respectively among 150 nursing students of a nursing college. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The result revealed that the majority of students were having moderate level of stress, i.e., 85.3%. Only some of the students were having high level of stress, i.e., 3.3%. Nearly half (45%) of students were stressed with personal factor followed by academic factor, i.e., 24.5% stress educational programs can be conducted for nursing personnel in the hospitals and nursing college’s which will help in the reduction of stress and adoption of healthy coping strategies. The research study concluded that nursing students have a moderate level of stress and personal factors were the main reason of their stress.
