Experience Of Stress Among Undergraduate Nursing Students and The Coping Strategies That They Employed During Their Learning in The Clinical Practices in The ICU

Rapid Review

Abstract

Aims to explore evidence that encapsulate current studies on the stress phenomenon experienced by undergraduate nursing students during their learning in the actual clinical settings, specifically the ICU. The objectives are to investigate how nursing students’ cope with the stress of learning in the clinical settings, specifically ICU and identify strategies they undertaken in maintaining their resilience in learning. After creating a PICOT question, the next step is to create keywords for the PICOT question. The keywords that have been determined can then be used by researchers to search for various articles that are relevant to the topic being searched for using databases/online search engines. PRISMA allows researchers to find studies that fit the PICOT questions already developed. nursing students who are placed in clinical practice, especially ICU, experience various problems such as lack of confidence due to feeling less competent, pressure and fear of the new clinical environment. In caring for individual patients in clinical practice, nursing students do not have the same responsibilities as registered nurses, yet they experience many of the same stressors. Nursing students who have appropriate coping strategies can carry out clinical practice in the ICU better than nursing students who do not have good coping strategies.
