Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate influencing factors on life stress among nursing college students. Methods: A descriptive research design was used with a convenience sample of 392 nursing students. Data were collected from May 23 to June 3, 2016 using self-reported questionnaires and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. Results: The mean scores of life stress, depression, self-esteem, and self-control were 1.72 out of 4, 1.58 out of 4, 3.60 out of 5, and 3.36 out of 5. Life stress was negatively correlated with self-esteem (r=-.56), self-control (r=-.30) and economic status (r=-.22) and was positively correlated with depression (r=.53). Factors influencing on life stress were economic status, depression and self-esteem, which explained 38% of the variance. Conclusion: Based on the finding of this study, it is necessary to develop education and intervention programs in order to decrease the life stress for nursing students.
