The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of level and sources of stress in nursing students in the various years of the baccalaureate nursing program by identifying the general level of physiological and psychological health, identifying the levels of stress experienced by students in second-, third-, and fourth-year nursing and by identifying the areas that are perceived as being particularly stressful. The method was a descriptive correlational design. The sample consisted of 94 baccalaureate nursing students. Data were collected using two questionnaires--the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the Stress Inventory. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions, t-tests, content analysis, measures of correlation, and analysis of variance. Results showed that the students experienced high stress levels and that they are at risk of having a physical or psychiatric illness. Analysis was done splitting the groups by student status, i.e., RN or generic. Results showed that while both groups are stressed, the generic students report significantly higher levels of stress. Sources of stress also were identified and reported in this article.
