A Focus Group to Evaluate The Perceived Stress Levels of SRNAs

The purpose of this book served to explore the perception of SRNAs relevant to their stress levels and coping mechanisms in the management of academic and personal stress. Stress levels and coping behaviors of the SRNAs were measured using the Perceived Stress Survey (PSS) and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ) instruments. The results of the study indicated that the majority of SRNAs perceived themselves as highly stressed. To foster an atmosphere of learning in the academic and clinical setting effective coping mechanisms must be established.
