The Study
The purpose of the study was to identify and measure tress, coping mechanisms and self-esteem of students undertaking a three year nursing degree. ... Since there is a lack of longitudinal studies of the perceived stress, coping and self esteem of nursing students (Lo 2002), Lo’s reason for this study is justified. ...
Data Collection and Analysis
The aim of the study was to investigate the perception of stress, coping mechanisms and self-esteem in nursing students. ... It is mentioned that the study only looked at selected characteristics of individuals and the environment and that there were no comparison groups therefore making it difficult to measure the scores of nursing students and how they differ from other students in the university.
Lo mentions that a number of implications for curriculum planning in nursing education and finding ways to relieve stress have emerged from the results of the study such as timing of when assignments are due, where to go for help when students encounter problems and stress management information, all of which make this study relevant and worthwhile.
