Özet:

This study is detective and cutting-edge, and was carried out with the aim of determining the stress levels and influential factors that first-class nursing students experience on the first day of clinical practice. The universe of research was formed by 238 first-class nursing students from different universities in the framework of clinical application training of the Nursing Basics course of the nursing degree program located in an educational and research hospital in Istanbul between 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 educational years. The sample was made by 225 bachelor’s first-class students who meet research criteria and agree to participate in the research. The data was collected through the Student Question Form and the Pagana Clinical Stress Survey (KSA). The authorisation of the institution and the ethical board have been approved for the implementation of the research. The data obtained was analyzed using appropriate statistical methods on the computer. 95.6% of students aged 17 to 21 years, 86.2% are girls and 75.1% feel ready for clinical application. The student's KSA total score average is 28.25±9.72, while the KSA sub-dimensional score average is; Threat 6.69±4.25, Fight 14.54±5.69, Damage 2.95±3.15 and Benefit 4.06±2.16. The low-dimensional score average of those who feel ready for clinical application is statistically significantly high from those who feel not ready (p<0.05; p<0.01). Students experienced a relatively low level of clinical stress. Among the experiences he was afraid of living during the clinical application, it was found that "do not hurt the patient" was in the first place. According to these findings, it may be recommended that students feel more prepared in the fields of teaching similar to the clinical environment, and that students are informed and supported about the overall structure of the clinic (physical structure, clinical team, rules).
