This study was conducted to compare perceptions of stress and quality of life (QoL) among nursing students from three countries (the Philippines, Greece, and Nigeria) and to examine the impact of stress on their QoL.
A comparative, cross-sectional research design was used in this study. Data were collected from 547 nursing students from three countries using the perceived stress scale (PSS) and the quality of life evaluation skill (QOLES).
Students' perceptions of stress and QoL were different across the three countries. Furthermore, higher stress perceptions were identified from taking care of patients, the clinical environment, and faculty, peer, and staff encounters, which predicted a negative QoL.
The findings emphasized the need for empirically tested and culturally tailored interventions to effectively reduce stress and enhance the QoL in nursing students.
本研究旨在比较来自三个国家（菲律宾、希腊和尼日利亚）的护理专业学生对压力的认知和生活质量，并探讨压力对其生活质量的影响。
本研究采用比较性横断面研究设计。使用感知压力量表（PSS）和生活质量评估技能（QOLES）从三个国家的547名护理专业学生中收集数据。
三个国家的学生对压力和生活质量的认知存在差异。此外，照顾患者、临床环境以及与教师、同伴和工作人员的接触会产生更高的压力认知，这预示着生活质量较差。
研究结果强调了需要进行经过实证检验且符合文化背景的干预措施，以有效减轻护理专业学生的压力并提高其生活质量。
