(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2011) Montoya Revilla, Liliana; Villarreal Sulca, Rosa Margarita; Chávez Flores, Erik Mario
Academic stress and the lack of adequate coping mechanisms are two of the most common issues among students due to the consequences they generate at an academic level. Nursing students must properly manage coping mechanisms in response to academic stress. For this reason, the following research problem was proposed: What are the levels of academic stress and what coping strategies are used by students in the V and VI cycles of Nursing at Wiener University? The objective was to evaluate the level of academic stress and the coping strategies of students according to academic cycle, gender, marital status, employment condition, and weighted average, as well as the relationship between the study variables. This analysis is correlational and cross-sectional. Population: students enrolled in the professional courses of the Academic Professional Nursing School (third to tenth cycle) in the 2010-II academic semester. Sample: 50 students from the courses Adult Health Nursing II (V cycle) and Women's and Neonatal Health Nursing (VI cycle), enrolled in the morning shift. The instrument used was the Barraza scale, adapted by the authors, which was subjected to reliability testing with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79. The results showed that students in the V and VI cycles exhibit medium levels of stress, with task overload and evaluations being the main stressors, while students in the VI cycle use more appropriate coping strategies (assertive skills). No significant correlation was found between stress level and coping strategies.
