Key stressors faced in theoretical and clinical learning environments
Coping strategies: Problem-Focused, Emotion-Focused, Avoidance, and
Physical Coping
Research gap at Baliuag University regarding health science students'
stressors and coping mechanisms
Identify predominant stressors and coping strategies among BSN and BSMT
students
SCRIPT……..
Health science programs are known to experience significantly higher levels
of stress compared to non-medical students. Research has found that health
science programs often present students with a range of stressors. These
include academic pressures, a lack of personal time, and demanding
requirements in theoretical learning, along with interpersonal challenges and
high-stress clinical environments.
In response to these stressors, students typically adopt coping strategies
such as problem-focused, emotion-focused, avoidance, and physical coping.
However, despite research acknowledging the stress health science students
face, there is a gap in studies focusing specifically on students at Baliuag
University.
This is where our study comes in. It aims to identify the stressors and coping
strategies used by students in both theoretical and clinical settings. By
shedding light on these areas, we hope to contribute to the well-being and
academic success of nursing and medical technology students, offering
insights into how stress management can be improved.
