Nursing students' views on the COVID-19 pandemic and their percieved stress levels.

This study was conducted to evaluate nursing students' views on the COVİD-19 pandemic and their perceived stress levels. A cross-sectional design was used to carry out this study. The research was conducted between April and May 2020 with 662 nursing students. Data were collected by an information form developed for the study and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The average score on the PSS was 31.69 ± 6.91, indicating that the students had a moderate level of stress. Significant differences in PSS score were found in terms of age and sex (P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). Results of this study indicated that age, sex, and some variables related to the pandemic process affect perceived stress levels of nursing students. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
