ABSTRACT: Aim: To clarify students’ stress factors, sense of
coherence, stress-coping behavior, and stress reactions during nursing
practice, and develop recommendations for educational support. Method: We
conducted a search of literature published in the period 2009-2020, using the
Igaku Chuo Zasshi, MEDLINE, and CINAHL, and the keywords “nursing student,”
“stress,” and “nursing practice.” Results: Twenty articles were included in the
review. As a result, the stress factors were a nursing process and
record common to all grades. Sense of coherence tended to be higher among nursing
students than for students in other
faculties. As for stress-coping behavior, students selected “Avoidance and
suppression” in specialty I. In nursing
integration, students chose “Active solution.” Regarding stress reaction,
students’ mental health was low during nursing practice, and their thinking and
concentration abilities continued to decline even after practice. Conclusion:
As teachers develop a better understanding of stress factors and their
contexts, students will assess trends in stress-coping behavior to guide
lessons and reflect on coping with stress.
