Physical therapy students will be exposed to stressors across clinical practice. The aggregate stress conveys to the new behavioral responses occur through the clinical training. The study aimed to examine the stress sources faced by physical therapy students and behaviors of coping used in their clinical practice. A cross-section study with a sample of 83 physical therapy students. Data were collected through Perceived Stress Scale and Coping Behavioral Inventory Scale. The mean of perceived stress by the respondents was 66.3 (standard deviation [SD] = 17.01) and the coping behaviors mean was 35.15 (SD = 9.67). The most common type of factor stressors perceived was looking for care of patients (M = 16.6 ± 4.4) and the most common coping behavior was problem solving (M = 13.8±6.6). The study confirmed that the perceived stress and coping behaviors of physical therapy students were moderate in clinical practice. Stress from the care of patients is the greatest stressful, and problem solving was the greatest coping.

Abstract Background: Although nursing students generally have lesser responsibility in the care of patients compared to professional nurses, clinical training is recognized as being a stressful experience for many students. The study objective was to investigate the relationship between anxiety, perceived stress and coping strategies used by nursing students during their clinical training. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational descriptive study. The sample consisted of 190 nursing students enrolled in the Nursing Faculty of Ciudad Real University in Spain. Participants provided data on background characteristics and completed the following instruments: the Perceived Stress Scale; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Coping Behavior Inventory. Relationships between scores were examined using Spearman’s rho. Results: The mean age of participants was 20.71+ 3.89 years (range 18-46 years). Most students (47.92%) indicated a moderate level of stress with a mean PSS score of 22.78 (±8.54). Veteran nursing students perceived higher levels of stress than novice students. The results showed a significant correlation for perceived stress and state anxiety (r= 0.463, p<.000) and also for trait anxiety (r=0.718, p<.000). There was also a significant relationship between the total amount of perceived stress and the following domains of the Coping Behavior Inventory: problem solving, self-criticism, wishful thinking, social support, cognitive restructuring and social withdrawal. In the current study, the coping strategy most frequently used by students was problem-solving, followed by social support and cognitive restructuring. Conclusions: Nursing teachers and clinical preceptors/mentors should be encouraged to develop programs that could help prepare nursing students to cope with the challenges they are about to face during their clinical placements.

This study was carried out to report on the factors promoting nursing students’ stress and their strategies to cope up with the stress situation. Questionnaires were manually distributed to first-year, second-year, third-year, and intern students to check their stress level. The sample was composed of 75 nursing students. Items were rated on a five-point Likert Scale. Stress among nursing students and interns was measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Coping Behavior Inventory (CBI). The researchers also gathered data through open-ended questions from 18 intern nursing students. These students were at the completion of their course. This study addresses key issues that will be of interest and benefit to nursing schools that want to tackle and remove the problems of stress among nursing students. It discusses the importance of providing a good environment to students promoting a favorable study experience. This experience may be enhanced by assigning different duties to different departments, which would help in the development of their multitasking skills. This would not be possible without enough support from colleagues and teachers.
