Abstract

AIM: This study examines the impact of emotional self-efficacy on perceived stress among nursing students.

METHODS: To conduct this study, two instruments were used. The first is the 10-item perceived stress scale version and the second is the emotional self-efficacy test.

RESULTS: The study shows that 59.10% of the nurses’ students have a risk perception of the situations stressful. About 19.20% have a psychopathological perception. In addition, the seven dimensions of emotional self-efficacy contribute to the perceived stress levels at 69%. However, the managing own emotions is the main contributor of the perceived stress level (β = −0.67**).

CONCLUSION: These results show the importance of the emotional self-efficacy to prevent the stress and these harmful consequences. Therefore, it is important to integrate a specific emotion management module into the nursing students basic training program. Furthermore, special interest should be given to promote the nurses’ students psychological health.
