COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of life around the world. Nursing education has moved classes online. Undoubtedly, the period has been stressful for nursing students. The scoping review aimed to explore the relevant evidence related to stressors and coping strategies among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The scoping review methodology was used to map the relevant evidence and synthesize the findings by framing the research question using PICOT, determining the keywords, eligibility criteria, searching the CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases for the relevant studies. The review further involved study selection based on the PRISMA flow diagram, charting the data, collecting, and summarizing the findings. The critical analysis of findings from the 13 journal articles showed that the COVID-19 period has been stressful for nursing students with classes moving online. The nursing students feared the COVID-19 virus along with experiencing anxiety and stressful situations due to distance learning, clinical training, assignments, and educational workloads. Nursing students applied coping strategies of seeking information and consultation, staying optimistic, and transference. The pandemic affected the psychological health of learners as they adjusted to the new learning structure. Future studies should deliberate on mental issues and solutions facing nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: Nursing students suffer from high levels of stress related to academic assignments in addition to clinical skills training. As a psychosocial phenomenon, stress affects students’ academic achievement and wellbeing. Coping mechanisms help students deal with the challenges arising from stress.AIMS: To illustrate the level of stress and common stressors among nursing students; to describe the difference in stress level related to demographic data; and to identify coping mechanisms used by nursing students.METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the type of stress and coping strategies among nursing students. The level of stress was evaluated through Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and type of coping strategies were assessed by use of Coping Behaviours Inventory (CBI).RESULTS: Students perceived moderate level of stress, most commonly attributed to assignments and workload, teachers and nursing staff, peers and daily life, and taking care of patients. The most frequently used coping mechanism was problem solving. The study found that age, GPA, education level and residence are good predictors of the use of transference as a coping behaviour.CONCLUSION: A moderate level of stress among students illustrates the need for stress management programs and the provision of suitable support.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To understand and describe the experience of the development of coping strategies during the professional life of nurses providing care to patients with facial image alteration. METHOD Descriptive qualitative study with a hermeneutic-dialectic framework conducted in the head and neck ward of a reference hospital in Rio de Janeiro, with the participation of eight nurses and data produced through semi-structured interviews conducted between June and August 2013. RESULTS Three major impressions were found: initial estrangement and complexity, consisting in the care given to patients with facial image alteration; a threshold between estrangement and coping, corresponding to the emergence of coping strategies during care; and image-likeness as a (re)cognition of the individual with facial image alteration in the development and consolidation of coping strategies during care. CONCLUSION Among other contributions, the identification and understanding of coping strategies may contribute to better qualify nursing education and care.

Faktor pendidikan keperawatan, keluarga dan tugas perkembangan berkontribusi terhadap proses koping mahasiswa dan akan berpengaruh terhadap penampilan akademik. Insidensi kasus terjadi di Akper dr. Otten Bandung (3%) pada tahun 1996 dan kecenderungan akan terjadi di Akper lain serta hal ini akan meningkat jika institusi pendidikan tidak melakukan pencegahan. Sampai saat ini belum ada daftar pengungkap/inventori yang bersifat diagnostic untuk mengidentifikasi sumber-sumber stress dan koping berdasarkan kultur Indonesia.Keperawatan di Jawa Barat berdasarkan kultur Indonesia. Penelitian ini juga merupakan studi lanjutan dari pilot studi di Akper se Jawa barat (1996) dengan jumlah responden 400 orang dan memiliki reliabilitas 0,65 – 0,77 untuk stress inventori dan 0,72 – 0,83 untuk koping inventori, dan diharapkan dapat mencapai reliabilitas pada bats yang memadai (≥0,80). Studi psikometrik ini mrnggunakan metodologikal desain dan sampel purposive dengan jumlah responden 1255.Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan angket yang terdiri dari dua bagian; bagian pertama untuk mengungkapkan sumber-sumber strss terdiri dari 45 pertanyaan dan bagian kedua untuk mengungkapkan proses koping terdiri dari 31 pertanyaan. Data di analisis untuk menguji reliabilitas dengan menggunakan teknik Cronbach (alpha).Sedangkan untuk validitas analisis, validitas konstruk menggunakan faktor analisis, dan validitas konten melalui judgment oleh tiga orang ahli berdasarkan pengukuran normatik.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan reliabilitas alat pengungkap sumber-sumber stress 0,87 – 0,88 dan reabilitas alat pengungkap proses koping 0,81. Sedangkan validitas konstruk alat dari hasil faktor analisis didapatkan faktor loading berkisar antara 0,30 sampai dengan 0,73 untuk sumber stress dan 0,41 sampai dengan 0,84 untuk proses koping, selanjutnya validitas konten melalui tiga orang ahli diperoleh hasil 0,98 untuk sumber stress dan 0,90 untuk proses koping.Daftar pengungkap ini diharapkan membantu para pembimbing akademik dalam proses bimbingan kepada mahasiswa keperawatan di Indonesia. Factors such as nursing education program, family and development task contribute coping process if the students and may after their academic performance.

First part comprised of 45 items asked about stress resources, and second part comprised of 31 items explored coping process. A Cronbach (alpha) tech nigue was used to test the reliability. In addition, the study analyzed the validity, a factor analysis to measure construct validity and expert judgment to determine content validity were employed. The result demonstrated that the reability of the instrument of stress resource was 0,87 – 0,88, and of coping process was 0,81. The construct validity of the instrument showed loading factors 0,30 to 0,71 for stress resources and of 0,41 to 0,84 for coping process. The content validity from 3 experts showed 0,98 for stress resources and 0,90 for coping process. It is expected that the instrument would assist academic supervisors to improve their ability to detect stress related problems among Nursing Student in Indonesia.
