Stress in Novice and Experiened Nursing Students
Problem and Study Purpose
The research purpose is to identify why nursing students have experienced higher level of stress and more physical and psychological symptoms. According to Jimenez, Navio-Osorio, & Diaz, (2010) it stated that most research on student nurses stress takes place within the United Kingdom and North America. More research needs to be conducted in other countries. This is why the researchers are conducting the study on the Spanish academia. It shows that there is little empirical evidence about the stress experienced on the nursing students during clinical practice.
The researchers are trying to establish the logic behind stressful events in clinical practice for nursing students. What types of stressful events and degrees of stress have been perceived by students during periods of clinical practice? What are the common biopsychosocial responses during period of clinical practice? What are the difference in reports of stress and health between novice and experienced groups of nursing students? The researchers suggest that if stress from clinical practice is an international phenomenon, it would then be useful to help identify the stressors. Given that the readers have an understanding that student nurses have high stress levels in the UK and North America, the readers can now sense the importance of research in the Spanish academia to help identify the stressors.
Study Variables
The independent variable in this study is the experience level (novice-experienced) throughout the nursing program (year) and the dependent variables are the student’s scores measuring stress and health. (Jimenez, Navio-Osorio, & Diaz, 2010). With these set of variables, the researchers can determine if the stressors are equal in different stages of nursing experience.
Theoretical Framework
This research used theoretical framework model. The researchers are identifying stress appraisal and adaptational outcomes
