In the light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, being considered a present challenge for public health, the main purpose of this work is to analyze the vulnerability to stress of a sample of nursing students in Romania considering their status on labour market (employed students in the medical system and non-employed students) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employed students were more vulnerable to stress comparing to non-employed ones during the pandemic. In addition to this, the nursing students working in the medical system experienced medium vulnerability to stress during the pandemic comparing to those working before the pandemic who experienced a low vulnerability to stress. Excepting the non-employed students before the pandemic, the females were more vulnerable to stress comparing to the males in the sample and the students living in the country experienced a higher level of stress comparing to those living in the urban area. During the pandemic, most of the employed nursing students expressed their fear of getting infected with COVID-19, this representing the most stressful factor for them, while most of them mentioned the self-control as being the most proper strategy for them to cope with stress. These empirical findings have practical implications for stress control among present and future nurses, for management of medical units and for higher education nursing.
鉴于当前 COVID-19 大流行，这是公共卫生面临的一个当前挑战，本工作的主要目的是分析罗马尼亚一组护理学生在 COVID-19 大流行前后的劳动力市场状况（在医疗系统中就业的学生和未就业的学生）的压力易感性。与非就业学生相比，在大流行期间，就业学生的压力更易感性。除此之外，与大流行前工作压力较低的学生相比，在大流行期间在医疗系统工作的护理学生的压力易感性处于中等水平。除了大流行前未就业的学生，女性在样本中的压力易感性高于男性，农村地区的学生比城市地区的学生压力水平更高。在大流行期间，大多数就业的护理学生表示他们担心感染 COVID-19，这对他们来说是压力最大的因素，而他们大多数人提到自我控制是他们应对压力的最恰当策略。这些经验结果对当前和未来护士的压力控制、医疗单位的管理和高等教育护理具有实际意义。
