Abstract:

In this study, it has been aimed to determine the tendency of nursing students’ individualistic distress disclosure about the unpleasant events they experience on a daily basis and their perceived social support levels and to examine the relationship between these variables. This cross-sectional and correlational type study has been conducted with 386 nursing students studying at a state university. In the evaluation of the data, mean, standard deviation, percentage, mode and median from statistical methods have been used. Spearman correlation analysis has been used to evaluate the relationships between the variables. The cut-off value of statistical significance has been determined as p<0.05. The median score of the subjective distress disclosure has been found to be 41.00, and the median score of the multidimensional perceived social support scale has been found to be 63.00. In the study, it has been determined that there was a positive and significant relationship between the tendency of nursing students to reveal their distress disclosure and the perception of social support.
