Nursing students' burnout, stress, and coping during the COVID-19 Pandemic
A systematic review
Keywords:
COVID–19, Nursing Students, Pandemic, Burnout, Stress, CopingAbstract
Nursing students are not immune to the stress that comes with being a student nurse. Despite the fact that there is a lot of literature on the issue, there has been little attention paid to stress in student nurses. This study examined a number of scientific papers on nursing student burnout, stress, and coping techniques. This was done through the use of a systematic review and the collection of publications. This systematic study relied on the databases CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar. These databases were selected for bibliographic information for publications on the study topic: burnout syndrome, stress, and coping skills, all of which were considered. Searches in English, during the previous two years (2020 & 2021). This systematic review revealed that nursing students were experiencing moderate to severe stress as a result of a shift in the way they were taught, a lack of clinical skills, and a concern of getting COVID 19. Nursing students, on the other hand, dealt with stress in a variety of ways. The review findings might help nursing educators build stress management strategies that are both scientifically verified and culturally suitable for their students.
