Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the relationship between levels of perceived stress by senior nursing undergraduates during clinical training and the extent of mobile addiction. The study was carried out at the nursing faculty, aligning with the tenets of the Helsinki Declaration and STROBE writing standards. Ninety-eight senior nursing undergraduate students participated in the research. Data collection involved the use of a "Descriptive Characteristics Information Form," the "Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students," and the "Mobile Addiction Scale." SPSS 24.0 was used to analyse the data. Among the participants, 62.9% (n=61) were female, with a mean age of 22.41±2.58 years. While 83% (n=83) expressed satisfaction with their department, 52.6% (n=51) reported frequent mobile device use, primarily for social media. On average, students spent 4.56±2.12 hours daily on mobile devices. The mean score for perceived stress was 66.51±22.32, and for mobile addiction, it was 67.72±20.34. The perceived stress level accounted for 12% of the variance in mobile addiction. The study revealed a significant impact of stress experienced during clinical practice on mobile addiction among senior nursing undergraduates. It reveals the significance of providing stress management training to improve students' coping mechanisms and increase their awareness of mobile addiction.

Hemşirelik Son Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Klinik Uygulamalarda Algıladıkları Stres Düzeyinin Mobil Bağımlılık Düzeyine Etkisi: Kesitsel bir çalışma

Abstract

Bu kesitsel çalışmada, hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin klinik uygulama sırasında algıladıkları stres düzeyleri ile mobil bağımlılığın boyutu arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, Hemşirelik Fakültesi'nde Helsinki Bildirgesi ve STROBE yazım standartlarına bağlı kalınarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya toplam 98 hemşirelik öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veriler “Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Bilgi Formu”, “Hemşirelik Öğrencilerine Yönelik Algılanan Stres Ölçeği” ve “Mobil Bağımlılık Ölçeği” aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz SPSS 24.0 kullanılarak yapıldı. Katılımcıların %62,9'u (n=61) kadın olup yaş ortalaması 22,41±2,58'dir. Katılımcıların %83'ü (n=83) çalıştıkları bölümden memnun olduklarını ifade ederken, %52,6'sı (n=51) öncelikle sosyal medya olmak üzere sıklıkla mobil cihaz kullandığını bildirdi. Öğrenciler günde ortalama 4,56±2,12 saatini mobil cihazlarda geçiriyor. Algılanan stresin ortalama puanı 66,51±22,32, mobil bağımlılığın ortalama puanı ise 67,72±20,34'tür. Algılanan stres düzeyi, mobil bağımlılıktaki varyansın %12'sini açıklamaktadır. Çalışma, hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencileri arasında klinik uygulama sırasında yaşanan stresin mobil bağımlılık üzerinde önemli bir etkisini ortaya çıkardı. Öğrencilerin başa çıkma mekanizmalarını geliştirmek ve mobil bağımlılık konusunda farkındalık yaratmak için stres yönetimi eğitimi verilmesinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır
