Nursing students experience higher levels of stress than those in other health-related disciplines; however, there are limited data exploring stress among these students in a Saudi context.
This study examines sources of stress among nursing students at an academic institution in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using a descriptive quantitative cross-sectional research design.
Data were collected from a convenience sample of 500 undergraduate nursing students, with a response rate of 71.8%, using an adapted Stress in Nursing Students (SINS) questionnaire.
Nursing student sources of stress fell into three categories: academic concerns, clinical practice, and social factors.
The results demonstrate commonality between other countries' sources of stress for nursing students but highlight cultural factors unique to Saudi Arabia. This study shows opportunities for cross-cultural learning and areas needing cultural tailoring to reduce stress among nursing students.
与其他健康相关学科的学生相比,护理专业的学生承受着更高水平的压力;然而,在沙特阿拉伯,针对这些学生的压力数据有限。
本研究采用描述性定量横断面研究设计,探讨沙特吉达一所学术机构护理专业学生的压力源。
采用经过改编的护理学生压力量表(SINS),对 500 名护理专业本科生进行了便利抽样调查,应答率为 71.8%。
护理学生的压力源分为三类:学业问题、临床实践和社会因素。
研究结果表明,护理学生的压力源与其他国家的情况具有共同性,但也突出了沙特阿拉伯特有的文化因素。本研究为跨文化学习提供了机会,并确定了需要文化调整以减轻护理学生压力的领域。
