Tóm tắt

Objectives: This study aims to assess the perceived stress levels and coping behaviors of nursing students during clinical internships, as well as to identify key factors influencing stress levels among nursing students at Duy Tan University in 2023.

Participants and Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 292 nursing students at Duy Tan University. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was utilized to measure stress levels, while the Coping Behavior Inventory (CBI) was employed to assess coping strategies during clinical internships. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic characteristics, as well as the mean and standard deviation of perceived stress levels and coping behaviors. To examine the relationships between variables and students’ stress levels, independent t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) applied to all analyses.

Results: Nursing students at Duy Tan University experienced a moderate level of perceived stress during their clinical internships, with a mean score of 2.50 (SD = 0.428). Among the coping strategies, Transference was the most commonly used, with a mean score of 3.24 (SD = 0.835). Several factors were found to be significantly associated with stress levels, including gender, age, academic year, residential status, clinical internship location, and part-time employment status (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Interventions are necessary to reduce stress levels among nursing students during clinical internships, particularly for female students, final-year students, and those living alone. Additionally, students interning at large healthcare facilities and those engaged in part-time employment should receive additional support to mitigate stress and enhance their coping abilities.
