Material and Metod: This cross-sectional study was performed between 01.01.2021 and 10.01.2021. The sample of the study consisted of 213 nursing students continuing their education in a state university located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Data were collected using a structured demographic information form and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results: Most of the participants were women between the ages of 20-22 years and had a good income. Anxiety (5.87±3.80), depression (7.81±4.65), and stress levels (7.68 ± 4.10) of the students were below the average level. Significant differences were detected in anxiety, depression, and stress levels according to family attitudes, income levels, and having enough friends (p <0.05). Conclusion: Depression, anxiety, and stress levels of the nursing students were detected at low levels for the investigated period. However, providing education programs that include methods of coping with stress and anxiety which students may encounter during the COVID-19 pandemic may be important.}, number={3}, publisher={Izmir Katip Celebi University}
