Clinical Stress Levels Of Nursing Students Participating In An Integrated Program And The Factors Affecting The Levels
Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to determine clinical stress levels of nursing students participating in an integrated program and the risk factors affecting the levels. Ninety-three nursing students who participated in a clinical practice for the first time comprised the sample of this descriptive study. The data of the study were collected with the identifying characteristics form and Pagana Clinical Stress Questionnaire (CSQ) and were evaluated with the percentage distribution and the significance test for the difference between two means. Of the students, 89.2% stated that they felt they belonged to the nursing profession, 73.1% stated that the education system carried out in the school was a student-centered one, 89.2% stated that education given in the school developed their level of knowledge and skills of nursing adequately and 77.4% stated that theoretical education and the laboratory training were enough to prepare them for clinical practices. Students mean CSQ score was 27.10 ± 10:41 (Min 4, Max 59), and the difference between the feeling of belonging to the nursing profession and CSQ mean scores was determined to be statistically significant (p 0.05). It can be proposed that whereas integrated program students had lower clinical stress levels in general, those students who stated that they did not feel that they belonged to the nursing profession and that they did not gain enough professional knowledge and skills had higher clinical stress levels.
