RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a percepção de estresse em baixa, média e alta e a relação entre a percepção do estresse e características sociodemográficas em acadêmicos de Enfermagem. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, em que foram incluídos 136 acadêmicos de Enfermagem de uma instituição particular de ensino, com o uso do questionário sociodemográfico e a Escala de Estresse Percebido (PSS-14). Os resultados foram submetidos à análise estatística por meio do programa SPSS, versão 17.0. Os dados foram apresentados em tabelas. Resultados: a maioria dos acadêmicos (63=46,3%) apresenta média percepção de estresse. As variáveis sociodemográficas não apresentaram associação estatisticamente significativa com a percepção de estresse. Conclusão: número significativo de universitários apresenta média percepção de estresse. Observa-se que os acadêmicos casados e que ingerem bebida alcoólica apresentaram maior percepção. Já realizar atividade física auxilia em uma menor percepção de estresse. É relevante observar que a percepção de estresse média ou alta constatada neste estudo é preocupante considerando a saúde desses participantes e seu futuro profissional. Os dados deste estudo contribuem cientificamente com o fornecimento de subsídios e auxiliam a identificar variáveis sociodemográficas que podem vulnerabilizar os acadêmicos na percepção do estresse. Descritores: Estresse Fisiológico; Estresse Psicológico; Estudante de Enfermagem; Educação em Enfermagem; Educação; Aprendizagem.ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the perception of stress as low, medium and high and the relationship between the perception of stress and sociodemographic characteristics in Nursing students. Method: a cross-sectional quantitative study of 136 nursing students from a private educational institution using the sociodemographic questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). The results were submitted to statistical analysis using the SPSS program, version 17.0. The data was presented in tables. Results: the majority of academics (63 = 46.3%) presented mean perception of stress. The sociodemographic variables did not present a statistically significant association with the perception of stress. Conclusion: a significant number of university students present average perception of stress. It is observed that married and alcoholic students presented higher perception. Already performing physical activity assists in a lower perception of stress. It is important to note that the perception of medium or high stress found in this study is worrying considering the health of these participants and their professional future. The data from this study contributes scientifically to the provision of subsidies and helps to identify sociodemographic variables that may vulnerabilize academics in the perception of stress.

AbstractDuring nursing education, nursing students are required to develop their competence to be able to fulfill their duties safely as Registered Nurses. The aims of this study were to explore 1) nursing students’ self-assessed competence levels during education 2) the relationship with competence and frequency at which competencies are utilized in clinical practice, and 3) factors related to competence levels. 841 (response rate 67.6 %) nursing students responded to the Nurse Competence Scale in a cross-sectional study. The self-assessed overall competence levels were improving during the education continuum (VAS-means 1st 56.6; 2nd 58.3; 3rd 59.8 and 3.5th -year students 68.4). Every group revealed a significant positive correlation with competence and frequency at which competencies are utilized in clinical practice in clinical placement. Risk factors for low competence were also identified. Systematic multimethod competence evaluations with longitudinal designs are needed to monitor outcomes of nursing education.

Abstract Background: Clinical dishonesty is a complex problem that threatens the health and safety of patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between clinical dishonesty and perceived clinical stress in nursing students. Method: This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 395 nursing students from 4 nursing colleges. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire, Nursing Student ' s Perception of Clinical Stressors, and a 12-item researcher-made questionnaire to evaluate the frequency of clinical dishonesty in the previous semester, the frequency of witnessing dishonest behavior among peers, and the perceived severity of behavior as unethical behavior. Results: In this study, 89.1% of the students had at least one dishonest clinical behavior in the previous semester. The frequency of clinical dishonesty was significantly correlated with the frequency of observing dishonesty among peers(r=0.053, p˂0.01), perceived severity of behaviors as unethical behavior(r=-0.4, p˂0.01), and perceived stress of students in the clinical setting(r=0.28, p˂0.01). Also, there was significant differences in the frequency of clinical dishonesty by gender (p=0.006), interest in the field of study (p=0.004) and academic year (p=0.002). Conclusion: The frequency of clinical dishonesty among nursing students is high and needs attention. Also, considering the positive relationship between dishonesty and perceived clinical stress, it is essential to teach effective strategies to nursing students to empower them to cope with clinical stress.

ABSTRACT A descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude and perception regarding organ donation among the nursing students. The study was conducted at National Institute of Nursing Education, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh. Using stratified systematic random sampling technique, 200 nursing student undergoing graduation and postgraduation courses were enrolled in the study. The tool used for data collection was a self-administered structured questionnaire consisting of three parts, i.e. information profile, assessment of knowledge, and assessment of attitude and perception regarding organ donation. For the assessment of knowledge, 17 multiple choice questions with one correct answer was used. The maximum attainable score was 18. One question had two right answers and was given a score of two. A five point Likert scale consisting of 15 questions was used for assessment of both attitude and perception of subjects regarding organ donation. Maximum attainable score was 65. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of study revealed that 74.5% of the subjects had average knowledge, 22% had poor knowledge and only 3.5% had good level of knowledge regarding organ donation. The mean knowledge score of the subjects was 10.56 ± 2.01 with the range of 5 to 17. Regarding attitude and perception toward organ donation, 55.5% had neutral attitude and perception, 43.5% had positive attitude and perception and only 1% had negative attitude and perception. It was concluded that majority of students had average knowledge about organ donation with neutral or positive attitude and perception. There is need to organize separate educational programs on organ donation for the nursing students other than their classroom teaching.
